YO and pull through the loop on hook.
SLIP STITCH (abbrev. sl st)

CROCHETING INTO THE BACK BUMP OF A CHAIN
Usually you crochet in the right side of the chain. When you turn your chain, you’ll see a small ‘bump’ on the wrong side of each stitch.
THROUGH BACK LOOP (abbrev. tbl)
The back loop is furthest away from you.
ABBREVIATIONS
- ch = chain
- slst-tbl = slip stitch through back loop
- hdc-tbl = half double crochet through back loop
- Row … = At the beginning of each pattern line, you’ll find “Row” + a number to indicate which “row”.
- […] = When part of the instructions repeat throughout the “row”, it ́ll be placed between brackets.
START CROCHETING | ALMOND STITCH
- Turning chain at the beginning of row does not count as a stitch.
- Number of rows in pattern repeat : 4
- Not reversible.
TO BEGIN: multiple 8 + 4 + 1 turning chain.
ROW 01. Starting in 2nd ch through back bumps, slst in next 4sts, [hdc in next 4sts, slst in next 4sts] to end.
ROW 02. ch, turn, slst-tbl in next 4sts, [hdc-tbl in next 4sts, slst-tbl in next 4sts] to end.
ROW 03|04. ch, turn, hdc-tbl in next 4sts, [slst-tbl in next 4sts, hdc-tbl in next 4sts] to end.
ROW 05|06. ch, turn, slst-tbl in next 4sts, [hdc-tbl in next 4sts, slst-tbl in next 4sts] to end.
Repeat rows 03 to 06 until desired height is reached.
TIPS
1- Try your best to make the slip stitches as loosely as possible, making it easier to insert hook for the next rows.
2- To get straighter edges without holes the last stitch is worked through the back loop and the turning chain.
