After the last set of 3 dc(s) of this row, ch1, skip 1 dc, dc on next dc, dc on 2nd ch of turning ch. Note: There are 9 groups (sets) of 3 dcs and 10 ch-1 spaces between sets of 3 dcs when this row is completed. Turn.

Repeat R2 to R5 over and over until desired length is met. Fasten off and weave in yarn ends.
Notes:
- When working on rows of stitches, The next stitch after the turning ch (ch2) is not the stitch to which the turning ch is attached but the one next to it so it appears like you are skipping a stitch but this is not a skip, it just appears like that.
