Row 1:

Work a sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. *Ch 3, then skip 2 ch, then work a sc into the next ch.  Repeat from * across.

Row 2:

Ch 3 and turn (counts as a dc).  Work a dc into the first sc from the last row. *Work a sc into the ch 3 space, then work a 3 dc into the sc (the one in between the two ch 3 spaces).  Repeat from * to end of row, then work 2 dc into that last sc from the previous row.
