2). Crochet one single crochet stitch into each stitch of the foundation chain for row one. Work three chain stitches for the turning chain for row two. Turn the work.
3). Insert the hook into the third single crochet stitch of row one. Crochet three chain stitches, then slip the hook into the third stitch from the hook. Continue crocheting three chain stitches and slipping the hook into the third stitch from the hook to the end of row two. Crochet three chain stitches for the row three turning chain and turn the work.
