Ribbon Afghan

This is the pattern I used for my 2016 temperature blanket. Now, I have a tale of caution on this one. My first temperature blanket is still sitting UNFINISHED in a basket. It is finished through October something, and I still have the charts for it. However, the pattern I used, even though I did a swatch, was coming out quite long. I loved the pattern. I used a DK weight yarn, Stylecraft Special DK, and a 3.75 hook (I think…maybe 3.5). It is not as long as I have seen however, and still will be quite usable.

I am wondering if this pattern could be adapted though to be a little more suitable. It is a series of 10 sc and 10 dc. I am wondering if it could be changed to 10 sc and 10 hdc instead. It will not be as defined, but still have a similar look.
