Stitch Description
Crossed double crochet: Yarn over, skip next stitch and insert hook into next stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull though the first two loops, yarn over and pull through the last two loops.
Working in front of the first dc made yarn over and insert hook in the stitch that you skipped, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through the first two loops, yarn over and pull through the last two loops.
Pattern Notes:
Multiples of 2 + 1
Ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
Do not skip first stitch in each row.
After ch 225, work in back bump for Row 1. Rotate the chain toward you and insert your hook though the back bump loop.
