Row 1: Make 2 DC into the 3rd CH from your hook
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 CHs
We're going to DC Decrease over the next 3 CHs, make the bottom of a DC in the next CH
Yarn over 1 time, insert your hook into the CH, grab the yarn and pull it through, pulling up 1 loop, Yarn over 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops only
Make the bottom of a DC in the next/second CH
Yarn over 1 time, insert your hook into the CH, grab the yarn and pull it through, pulling up 1 loop, Yarn over 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops only
Make the bottom of a DC in the next/third CH
Yarn over 1 time, insert your hook into the CH, grab the yarn and pull it through, pulling up 1 loop, Yarn over 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops only
Yarn over 1 time
Take that yarn through all 4 loops on your hook to complete that Decrease
You'll now use those same Decrease over the next 3 CHs
So we'll have 2 Decreases over a total of 6 CHs
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 CHs
DC Increase in the next CH: Make 3 DC in the same CH
DC Increase in the next CH: Make 3 DC in the same CH
So that's 2 Increases over a total of 2 CHs
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 CHs
Make 2 Decreases over the next 6 CHs like we did before
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 CHs
Make 3 DC into the last CH of your row
Row 2: Make 3 CHs
Make 2 DC into the 1st ST
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 STs
Make 2 Decreases over the next 6 STs, just like we did before. Just working into STs instead of CHs
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 STs
DC Increase in the next CH: Make 3 DC in the same ST
DC Increase in the next CH: Make 3 DC in the same ST
So that's 2 Increases over a total of 2 STs
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 STs
Make 2 Decreases over the next 6 STs, just like we did before. Just working into STs instead of CHs
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 STs
Make 3 DC into the top of the previous CHs at the end of your row
Repeat Row 2 for how long you want your project
