Pattern Instructions
- ch3 at the beginning of rows counts as a dc
- stitches contained within ** are the repeat section for that row
Starting Chain: This pattern requires you to chain multiples of 4chs + 3ch. My starting chain is 27chs.
Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from the hook, hdc in all remaining chains, turn = 26sts
Row 2: ch3, *sk2, fptr around the next 2 stitch posts below, go back to the first stitch you skipped and make a fptr around its post, fptr in around the post of the next skipped st*, repeat from * until you have 1st left, dc in the last st, turn.
Row 3: ch3, bptr around the stitch posts of the next 2sts, *sk2, bptr around the next 2 stitch posts below, go back to the first stitch you skipped and make a bptr around its post, bptr in around the post of the next skipped st*, repeat from * until you have 3sts left, bptr around the stitch posts of the next 2sts, dc in the last st, turn.
Repeat rows 2 & 3 until you have the required length.
