    • Work 1 single crochet (SC) in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. Chain 3 and turn.
  3. Row 2:
    • *Skip the next stitch, work 1 front post double crochet (FPDC) around the post of the next stitch. Go back to the skipped stitch and work 1 FPDC around the post of that stitch.* Repeat across. Chain 1 and turn.
  4. Row 3:
    • Work 1 SC in each stitch across to reset the row. Chain 3 and turn.
