Enchanted Garden Blanket Section 3

Welcome to section 3 of the Enchanted Garden Blanket crochet tutorial.  I hope you're ready to add some fun texture to this blanket!  This section works a really simple stitch but the stitch placement is everything.  It adds a beautiful texture and honestly, I'm tempted to make a blanket using just this stitch.  I really think you'll enjoy this one.

For those who are working this as the new release CAL, I apologize that this section is being released a little late.  I recorded the video for this section 3 times because I kept calling out the wrong stitch and yet, on the 3rd time, I still messed up one time.  If you're watching the video, on round 25, I say to work a tr in the first x stitch of that round and it should be dtr.  
Please forgive me for my goofs!  It's been a crazy week but I promise, the future sections are looking good!!!
