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.

START CROCHETING |

Number of rows in pattern repeat : 2

TO BEGIN: make a slip knot and chain a multiple of 2 +  1 + 1 turning chain.

Row 01. Crochet in back bumps, starting in 2nd bump of the chain, sc to end of row.
