3. Turn your project and insert the hook into the first stitch.
4. Yarn over and pull up a loop. You will have 3 loops on the hook.
5. Again, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. You will have 2 loops on the hook.

7. This will make one Double Crochet.

1 Double Crochet is already made while making the turning chain.

2 Double Crochets in the same stitch i.e the 1st stitch(that's total 3 Double Crochets made).

Skip 2 Stitches.

1 Single Crochet in-between the 2nd and the 3rd stitch.(remember to make the stitch in- between the two stitches instead of into the stitch)

Skip 2 stitches.

4 Double Crochets in the next Single Crochet from the previous round.

Skip 2

Repeat(1SC in between 2nd & 3rd St,Sk2,4DC in the next SC,Sk2)

Once you reach end, Chain 2 and use the Straight Edge Turning Chain method mentioned in the previous round to make the turning chain.
