Foundation Row (The first Forward and Return Pass will create the foundation Row)

 

Forward Pass: Stick the hook into the second chain from the hook and pull up a loop. Continue across the chain, pulling up a loop in each chain, leaving all loops on the hook.

At the end of the chain, you will have the same number of loops on the hook as chains that you started with.

 

Reverse pass:  Yarn over and pull through one loop {Crochet one extra chain ( return chain ) in the last stitch on Hook }

*Yarn over again and pull it through 2 loops *

Continue   * * till you have one loop left on the hook

 

The remaining loop on the hook is the right edge stitch

To start the next Forward Row always skip the front bar of the edge stitch and begin with the second front bar (= first stitch) to pull up a loops

Row 1:

FP:  TSS : Insert hook through the front vertical bar of second stitch pull up a loop,
