Row 1: Ch 4, dc in same st, sk 1 st, *dc in next st, ch 1, dc in same st, sk 1 st*, repeat from * to end of row.
Row 2: Ch4, dc in same st, *dc in ch 1 of last row, ch 1, dc in same space*, repeat from * to end of row.
Repeat these rows for pattern.
Variations:
- Instead of a dc stitch, sc, hdc, or tc stitches may be used.
- Instead of ch 1 between the dc stitches, a ch 2 may be used. If a ch 2 is used, 2 stitches must be skipped to keep proper stitch count. This makes a lacier fabric.
