It's time for the first solid square pattern for our sampler afghan! This particular square is fairly basic. It starts and ends with a row of dc. The patterned rows consist of a basic sc, dc, dc pattern. I have seen this called the silt stitch before, however the times I have seen to it referred to as such, it had a row of dc in between each patterned row. If it has another name that you are aware of, I would love for you to share it! I've seen this pattern used for baby blankets. It produces a fairly solid fabric with a nice texture. It's also used in the body of this cute newsboy cap.

Foundation ch and row 1: Ch 33. Dc in fourth ch from hook and in each ch across (31 dc) Turn.
