Crochet WIP 3D lollypop stitch

I have a new crochet project to work on in my spare time.
I saw a crocheted blanket with a link to a youtube video.  She used 5 balls (320 m each) of variegated yarn & hook 4 mm.  The tutorial has ENGLISH SUBTITLES (turn off the sound and turn on the CC captions).

I am using Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in Spumoni.  I love the reversible bubbles that this stitch creates.

This is going pretty slowly but I will admit that I don't pick it up very often and I have frogged several rows a couple of times when I was watching tv more than I was watching what I was crocheting.  There is no written pattern that I have found so I must refresh my memory with the video if I let too much time pass before I work on it.  This is only 28" wide.  I started with a chain of 182 stitches but this uses a lot of yarn and the 3D effect has reduced my long chain by about 10".  I am almost done with the second skein of yarn and it is about 13" high so far.  I am using a size G crochet hook.
