Skill Level	Row Count	Pattern Repeat
Easy	3	Multiples of 3 + 3

This stitch is ideal for yarn color changes.

Instructions

1. Begin with color A (if using 2 colors). Chain 6.
   Step 2: In the 4th chain from hook, dc.
   Step 3:Work dc in the two remaining chains.
   (First box completed.)
2. Turn work clockwish to the other side. Chain 6. Repeat the two instructions following the chain 6 in step 1 above. (4th chain from hook, dc, and dc in the two remaining chains.)
   Tip: Once you finish the second box, make sure to keep the boxes going in opposite directions. The bottom box needs to be flipped over so that you are working on the wrong side.
3. Locate the ch-3 space in the first box. Sl st in that space.
   Color A. Ch 3, 3dc in the same ch-3 sp as the sl st. (2nd row, 2 boxes)
4. Change colors if using more than one. Cut the string from Color A, leaving a couple inches of extra yarn for the tail. Take the string of the Color B yarn, grab a loop with your hook, pull it through the loop left on your work from the Color A yarn, and pull the string to secure.
   
   Flip your work (the "v" shape you have created should be facing your left hand if you are a right-handed crocheter — as shown in the image below). With Color B, chain 6.
   
   Repeat the steps 2 and 3 (dc in the fourth chain from the hook and then dc into each of the two chains that remain).
   
   Note: If you change colors and the stitches become loose, pull the tail to tighten.
   
   Slip stitch in the chain three gap of Color A as done previously.
5. Chain 3 and work 3 double crochets in that same gap as your slip stitch.
   Find the chain three gap on your next closest box, and repeat step 11 for your third box.
   Change back to Color A by repeating step 4.
   To match pattern shown, create one more increase row with four boxes in Color A.
To Decrease
6. Change to Color B by repeating step 4 once again.
   Slip stitch across the first box 3 times to reach the chain three gap of that same box.
   Slip stitch in that chain three gap and make a box as you have been doing.
   Find the next chain three gap and lock it with a slip stitch.
   Repeat the box and slip stitch process until you have made it to the end of your row. Lock it down with a slip stitch.
   
   Note: Don't forget that you are decreasing, so your row will be one shorter than the row below. The row after will be one shorter than that until you are back down to one.
7. Change to Color A for your last row (following step 8). Turn your work. Repeat steps 17-19 to finish.
   Note: Be sure to slip stitch up the top of the box below as you are decreasing. Trim and weave in your ends.
