2. Crochet 3 chain stitches (ch) for each cell of the pattern + 1 ch. For 12 cells in my pattern, crochet 37 ch (12 * 3 + 1 = 37).
3. Crochet first row according to the pattern: 3 ch for lift, 3 double crochet stitch (dc) - first filled cell; 2 ch and 1 ch - white cell. Continue crocheting according to the pattern: crochet 3 dc instead of every filled cell; 2 ch and 1 dc instead of every white cell.
