Row 2: Starting in the third chain from the hook, work 1 hdc in each chain across. Turn your work.
Row 3: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch here and throughout). Work 1 sc in the first stitch, skip the next stitch, work 1 sc and 1 hdc in the next stitch. Repeat – across until you have 1 stitch left, work 1 sc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
Row 4: Ch 1, work 1 hdc in the first stitch, skip the next stitch, work 1 sc and 1 hdc in the next stitch. Repeat – across until you have 1 stitch left, work 1 hdc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
