With blanket lengthwise and with RS facing attach white with a sc by working around the post of the 2nd unworked DC of row 1 (between the cables) *Ch 5, sc around the ch-2 of next row (between the cables), repeat from * across entire length of blanket, ending with a sc around the post of the last row. Fasten off.

Edging

With CB
Lay blanket lengthwise and RS facing attach with a sc in end st of Row 1. *Ch 5, sc in end st of next row, repeat from * across entire edge of blanket, do not fasten off.

To make a corner, ch 5 and sc in same st, working across top of blanket ch 5, sc IN BETWEEN the cable, *(ch 5, sc in ch 2 sp) twice, ch 5, sc in between the cable, rep from * across, (ch 5, sc in corner space) twice

Repeat edging around remaining sides as established.

Note: as you are edging the bottom of the blanket instead of having a ch 2 space to work in there are two dc that you made in the foundation row. So work your sc in the space just after the cable and just before the next cable ignoring those two dc.

Weave in all ends.
