The video likely uses a repeat multiple of <em>x<\/em> (for example 8 or 12) + maybe + 2 chains for border\u2014so chain accordingly (e.g., if repeat is 12, you might chain 12 \u00d7 n + 2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chain the desired length. Then turn and work the first row as described next.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Row 1 \u2013 Establish motifs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the 2nd chain from hook, work sc (or whatever the video uses) to start. The video likely begins with a row of sc or hdc to set a base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then you\u2019ll work the first motif units: <em>for example<\/em>, chain a certain number, skip chains, make a cluster or shell, chain again, etc. (Since I don\u2019t know the exact motif from the video, I\u2019ll give you a motif version you can follow and adapt).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work across the row repeating: <strong>shell \/ cluster in chain space, chain skip, shell \/ cluster<\/strong>, etc. At the end work sc into the last chain or according to edge instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Row 2 \u2013 Repeat motif and build texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Turn your work. Chain 3 (counts as first dc) or chain 1 depending on pattern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In each \u201cchain space\u201d from previous row, work the motif: for example <em>(shell of 3 dc, ch2, 3 dc)<\/em> into the chain space; skip some stitches; sc in next shell top, etc.*<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Between motifs you might chain 1 or 2 to separate them. Repeat across the row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the end, sc (or whatever edge stitch) into the turning chain or last stitch.
