3.) Chain one. Then, skip the next chain and single crochet into the chain after that. Repeat this process until you get to the end of your row.

4.) To start your second row, you’ll want to chain two. Skip over the single crochet at the end and work a single crochet into the next one.

Chain one in the space in between the last two single crochets from the previous rows. Repeat this process until you get to the end of your row.

5.) When you come to the end of your second row, you’ll want to go in the space in between your chains and make a single crochet.

6.) To start row three, you’ll chain two and skip the first single crochet. Then single crochet in the chain space.
