Establishing the Pattern Rows:

Row 1 (Double Crochet Row):

Skip 3 chains from the hook, then double crochet into each following chain across.

Rows 2-4 (Mesh Pattern Rows):

Chain 4, turn your work, [skip 1 dc, 1 dc into next dc, 1 chain] repeat across the row.

Body of the Top:

Continue repeating the established pattern (one row of dc followed by three rows of mesh), until the panel reaches the desired length before shaping begins.
