Repeat  R2 to R5 over and over until desired length is met. Fasten off and weave in yarn ends.

Notes:

  1. 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.
