Starting from the beginning, make chains in the multiple of 6 + 4
Row 1: Make (2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC) into the 7th CH from your hook
*Skip 2 CHs, make 1 DC into the next CH
Skip 2 CHs, make (2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC) into the next CH
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have 3 CHs left
Skip 2 CHs, make 1 DC into the last CH to complete this row
Row 2: CH 3
*Skip to next previous CH 1 space
Make: 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC into that CH space
Make 1 BPDC over the next DC by itself
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have some CHs left
Make 1 DC into the top of those last CHs to complete this row
Row 3: CH 3
*Skip to next previous CH 1 space
Make: 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC into that CH space
Make 1 FPDC over the next DC by itself
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have some CHs left
Make 1 DC into the top of those last CHs to complete this row
You would now alternate between Rows 2 & 3 for however long you want your project
