Help! Bernat Baby Sport Round Blanket pattern confusing...

[Oldwoman]

Hi all...I'm very new to the site.  I've been asking around for some help on a confusing pattern and I was referred to a forum...and since I've scanned this site before and liked it, I thought I would ask the Crochetville Community.

 

The pattern I'm working is the Bernat Baby Sport Round Blanket. I thought the instructions were quite easy until I got to row 6.

 

Its crocheted in the round.  The directions are all clusters pretty much...each row is the same except your doing something 2 times, then 3 times then 4 times, etc. etc.

 

It reads like this:  "*(Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp) twice.  Ch2. (Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in next ch-2 sp. Rep from * around, ending with (Ch2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp) twice. Ch 1. join with sl st to Beg Cluster"

 

So by row 6 my blanket looks like a large curly doily.  If anyone has done this pattern, does it flatten out as it goes?  I'd hate to get to row 28 and realize I did the whole thing wrong.

The site is down now so I can't even put a link into the pattern. 

 

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.

Welcome to the 'ville!

 

The site is still down, is this it?

There are multiple comments that it does not lie flat from those that have made it, .  It seems that the blanket is made in an octagon, and it will lie flat if modified to be a hexagon.

I just checked, and the site is still "down for maintenance"!!  Must have had some serious problems!

Thanks for your help.  I guess its back to the drawing board.  I wouldn't have a clue how to amend a pattern so I'll just find one that works.  

 

I appreciate you checking!!
