chain 6

Row 1. Double Crochet [dc] in the 4th, 5th and 6th chain from hook






Skip first three chains, DC in 4th, 5th, & 6th chain from hook



This completes the first row.

Row 2: chain 6
Skip first three chains, DC in 4th, 5th, & 6th CH from hook (INCREASE MADE)

Flip up first square.



Skip three DCs of first square. SL ST around the CH 3 post of the 1st Square.



CH 3, 3 DC down same post:



Row 3:  chain 6



DC into 4th, 5th, & 6th CH from hook, turn work



Have you noticed how the chain 6 and then the double crochets in the 4th 5th and 6th chain from the hook creats the next row.


Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square.
**CH 3, 3 DC down same post. Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square:**



repeat ** to ** of above squares, across each row.



repeat Row 3 (Increase Row) until work is as wide as required





To continue working in *length* while maintaining the same width - you need to do a Decrease Row. This is because you are NOT increasing one square at the beginning of each row.


Decrease Row - CH 3, Sk next 3 DCs. SL ST around the CH 3 post of previous rows first square, Ch 3, 3 DC down post



Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square.
**CH 3, 3 DC down same post. Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square:**



Continue by ALTERNATING BETWEEN
*Increase Rows* (to make the rectangle taller, but now wider) and *Decrease Rows* (which will maintain the width) until you "close up" the afghan with the last square.



After Finishing last square - CH 3, turn, and SL ST around CH 3 post of previous row. This will even out the sides of the afghan
