Berroco Cirrus (White) 2 skeins
6 mm crochet hook.

Tr - treble crochet
dc - double crochet
Sk2 - skip 2 spaces
Tr3 - treble crochet 3 times into same stitch

Chain 55 stitches
Row 1: In 3 chain from hook trc , trc into each chain to end
Row 2: tr into first 5 stitches, (sk2, tr into next 5 stitches, tr3, tr into next 5 stitches) repeat twice, sk2, tr into remaining 5 stitches.
Row 3: As row 2
Row 4: As row 2
Row 5: Cast on white yarn, dc into each stitch in row
Row 6: dc into each stitch in row
Row 7: Switch back to navy yarn chain 3, tr into first 5 stitches, (sk2, tr into next 5 stitches, tr3, tr into next 5 stitches) repeat twice, sk2, tr into remaining 5 stitches.
