Method
Start by making a foundation chain, ending with a turning chain of one chain. Start the next row with a double crochet, going into the second chain from the hook.
Skip one chain to make a treble stitch into the next chain: yarn over into the chain, then yarn over and pull through; yarn over and pull through two loops, then yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops.
Make two more trebles into the same chain.
