You can potentially use any yarn and hook for this stitch. However, here is what I used:

Fsc a multiple of 3+2 (to start with a chain stitch, you’ll need a multiple of 3, and then one row of single crochet).

Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as dc, here and throughout) dc in next fsc. Dc in each fsc across. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3, dc in next dc. *Fpdc over next dc, dc in next 2 dc. Rep from * across row. Turn. NOTE: for front post double crochet (fpdc) tutorial, view row 4 pictures.
