Pattern Notes

Ch 3 at beg of each row counts as dc and working first st of each row.
The chart for this pattern is designed on fillet crochet using the “4 stitch” block style. Each block consists of 4 sts. Adjacent blocks share a st on their joining side (usually dc): there are 7 sts in a group of two blocks, and 10 sts in a group of 3 blocks side by side.
To make an open block at the start of a row: Ch 5 (counts as dc, ch 2), sk first 3 sts of row.
