Chain multiples of 4 to reach the desired width (e.g., chain 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 for a sample swatch)

Row 1 (Single Crochet Row):

Work a single crochet into the second chain from the hook.
Work one single crochet into each of the next two chains (3 single crochets total).
[Chain 1, skip 1 chain] and work 3 single crochets into the next three chains.
Repeat the sequence in brackets to the end, finishing with three single crochets in the last three chains.

Row 2 (Double Crochet Row):

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Turn your work.
Work one double crochet into each stitch and into each chain-1 space across the entire row.

For Row 3 (Arrow Stitch Setup Row):

Chain 1 and turn the work.
Work a single crochet into the first stitch.
Work a treble crochet into the chain-1 space from the first row (two rows below the current row).
Skip the next stitch (behind the treble stitch).
Work a single crochet into the next stitch.

[Chain 1, skip 1 stitch] then single crochet in the next stitch.

Work a treble two together (tr2tog):

Yarn over twice, insert the hook into the chain-1 space two rows below and begin the treble stitch but don't finish it (stop when two loops are left on the hook).
Yarn over twice again, insert the hook into the next chain-1 space two rows below and work another partial treble stitch (stop when three loops are left on the hook).
Finally, yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook.
