Skyfi Ridge Afghan

It’s been ages and ages, I know, but I have a new free pattern. The Skyfi Ridge Afghan. After set up it’s a simple two row repeat and easily adjusted to any yarn weight. A larger hook will create a more open lacy effect. To change the width, the pattern is a repeat of 16 + 3.
 For mine, I used 4 skeins of lionbrand mandala yarn (dk/3 weight) and a size 4.5mm crochet hook.
Abbreviations used:
Ch: chain
Sc: single crochet
Tr3: treble crochet
St/s: stitch / stitches
Sc2tog: single crochet 2 together

Note;
If you want to stripe it yourself, switch colors on row 3 repeats

Ch 193
Row 1: 2sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of next 5 sts, sc2tog, sc2tog, sc in each of next 5 sts, 2sc in next st, * 2sc in next st, sc in each of next 5 sts, sc2tog, sc2tog, sc in each of next 5 sts, 2sc in next st, rep from * until end of row is reached, sc once more in last st (there will be 3 sc in the last st of this row)
