Always turn the work in the same direction at the end of each row.
2. Beginning 6” from the raw edge, insert hook through the top of the mesh and pick up a loop. Chain 1, insert and close a stitch marker under both top loops of the ch st, marking the first st. Ch 5 going into every other hole in the mesh., turn.
3. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, marking the sc with a stitch pin. Sc in next 4 ch, removing the stitch marker at the end of the row. Ch 1, turn.
