Foundation Row: Ch multiples of 2 until you reach the desired width of your project.

Row 1: Starting in the second ch from the hook, make 1 SC in each ch across.

Row 2: Ch 1 (does not count as a st) and turn. Make 1 SC in the first st. Make 1 SC FLO in each st across except the last one. In the last st of the row, make 1 SC.

Row 3: Ch 1 (does not count as a st) and turn. Make 1 SC in the first st.

Rep *1 DC2tog in the unworked loop of row 1, 1 SC in the next st of row 2*.

In the last st of the row, make 1 SC.

Rows 4-onward: Rep rows 2 and 3.

For the odd rows, you’ll make the DC2tog two rows below and the SC in the row below.

Fasten off and cut the yarn once your project has reached the desired length.

Weave in the ends.
