Hi Monica! What a beautiful blanket. Love the colors. I have a question, if you could please help me with your pattern. I am so new to crocheting. I'm still trying to learn patterns. And just to let you know, I read your About Me section, and wanted to let you know, my 14 year old daughter and myself, are making a granny square blanket each, and are donating them. Here is my question:  In this pattern, it's telling me to turn and change color and to DC into the first 4 DCs....Question is, when I turn, do I count the 4 chains I skipped in row 1 as a DC and DC into that one? This is what it says for row 1 "1 DC in 4th CH from hook. 1 DC in each of next 3 CH"

My Next question.... I'm a little confused as it's saying to repeat from *. But, I see two *s. Which one should I repeat?

Row Two: TURN. Change to Color B. 1 DC in each of first 4 DC, skip 1 DC. *1 DC each of next 3 DC, skip 1, *Work in back loop only 1 DC in each of next 3 DC. 3 DC in next DC. 1 DC in each of next 3 DC, skip 2 DC. Repeat from * until 5 DC from end, skip 1 DC. (In both loops) 1 DC in next 4 DC. (NOTE: Working in back loop only will make the dark pink row "pop" with a ridge on the front sides. This can be omitted if desired. The blanket is very pretty done all in the back loop –except the first and last 4 stitches of each row. This can become rather tedious but makes a nice effect.)
