Abbreviations:

ch = chain
dc = double crochet

Pattern:

Row 1:

Yarn over (yo), insert the hook into the 4th chain from the hook (the first 3 chains count as your first dc).
Complete a double crochet (dc) [Yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on the hook), yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through the remaining two loops].
Chain one (ch 1), skip the next chain stitch from the previous row, and work a dc into the next.
Repeat from to across to the last chain, dc in the last chain.
Chain 3 (counts as your first dc of the next row), turn your work.

Row 2 and beyond:

Dc into the first space (created by the ch 1 in the previous row), ch 1, skip the next dc, dc in the next ch 1 space. Repeat from to across, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row.
