How to make
We will start with chains. The chains should be in multiples of 4, plus 3 extra chains. Then we will add one more stitch for the plus 3 extra chains. For the next row, make single crochet (SC) stitches across the entire row.
After that, chain 1 and turn your work. Now, make double crochet (DC) stitches across the entire row. After completing this, chain 1 and turn your work again.
Now, make one SC. Then, create a front post treble crochet stitch. To do this, skip 3 SC from the first row and insert your hook into the 4th SC. For the front post treble crochet, wrap the yarn around your hook twice,
insert it into the stitch, yarn over again, and pull through. Then, complete the front post treble crochet. After this, skip one stitch and make the next sc. Then make 2 more SC.
When you have made 1 front post treble crochet (FPTR), do not complete it (leave 2 loops on your hook). Now, make another FPTR in the 4th SC of the 1st row after the previous FPTR. To do this, yarn over twice on your hook, skip the next 3 SC of the 1st row, and insert the hook into the 4th SC. Pull up a loop. You will now have 5 loops on your hook. Complete the FPTR as usual. When you have 3 loops left on your hook, skip 1 stitch in the current row. Insert the hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop, and draw this loop through all three loops on your hook to complete the stitch.
When you complete this row, chain 2 and make double crochet (DC) stitches across the entire row.
Now make 3 single crochets (SC), then you need to make a front post treble crochet (FPTR). To create the next rows, you will not connect the FPTR to the SC of the 1st row. Instead, you will connect it to the FPTR of the row below. Yarn over twice on your hook, insert the hook into the FPTR of the row below, pull up a loop, and complete the FPTR.
Just as you created the FPTR in the previous row, you will create this row in the same way. The only difference is that instead of taking the loops from the SC of the 1st row, you will take them from the FPTR of the previous row.
