  3. Hi,
    I've seen lots of sea-inspired blanket/afghan patterns, but I must say I really LOVE yours here. The stitch is very interesting visually, and I love your choice of colors. :)
    Added it to my favorites on Ravelry, a must-make.

    1. Sorry for the delay with replying!
      My gauge was about 1 PR (6 ch) = 4cm (1.5''), and the base chain has approx. 300 chains (50 PRs). I suggest to crochet the base chain using one yarn end, and to work the first round starting from first chain and using another yarn end at the same time. This way you can extend the base chain if needed and stop crocheting it when you reach the desired length.
