Instructions

I am going to start with a foundation chain of 23 chains. For your project, chain as many stitches as you need, keeping in mind that it should be a multiple of 3 + 2.

Row 1: chain 3, which will count as the first double crochet. Next work 3 double crochets starting in the fifth chain from your hook. *Chain 3 and skip 3 stitches. Now work 3 double crochets*. Repeat from * to * and finish the row with a double crochet.

Row 2: Chain 3 and work one double crochet into the first stitch. *Chain 3 and continue with 3 double crochets worked into the 3 stitches we skipped in the foundation chain, wrapping the chain space created in the first row*. Repeat from * to * until there is 1 stitch left. Finish the row with a double crochet.

Row 3: Chain 3, work a double crochet into the first stitch. *Work 3 double crochets into the 3 double crochets of the first row, wrapping the chain space in the second row. Next, chain 3, and skip the 3 stitches in the second row*. Repeat from * to * until there is 1 stitch left. Finish the row with a double crochet.
