Instructions

Make 50 chain sts, double crochet in the 5^th st from the crochet hook. 5 double crochets in the 5^th st from the crochet hook, 1 double crochet in the next st to the last (selvedge) st, make 6 double crochets in the selvedge st = 102 double crochets and 2 selvedge sts with 6 double crochets.

Make 3 chain sts increase, 2 sts in each of the 6 double crochets = 12 double crochets in the selvedge st. Then, 1 chain st, skip 1 st, make 3 double crochets with common top. Continue working in the same way to end of row. 6 double crochets - 2 double crochets in each st. Make 3 double crochets with common top to the end of row, skip 1 st, 1 slip st in the 3^rd st from 3 chain sts.

1 double crochet in the corner in every st, 2 unfinished double crochets in the next st, i.e., with common top, 2 chain sts between the groups of 3 double crochets.

As a result, you should get 6 groups of 3 double crochets, i.e., 18 double crochets and 6 arches of 2 chain sts.

3 unfinished double crochets in the arch of chain sts from the previous row, 1 chain st between the groups of 3 double crochets. Make oval turn from the opposite end in analogy to the previous one, finish with 1 slip st in the 3^rd chain st increase.

4 chain sts increase, 1 double crochet, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet in the arch of 2 chain sts from the previous row, make the same in the next 5 arches: 3 double crochets and 1 chain st between them.

After making oval turn, make 1 double crochet in every arch of 1 chain st, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet.

From the opposite side: 1 double crochet, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet in the arch of 2 chain sts from the previous row, 3 double crochets and 1 chain st between them in the next 6 arches.

Then, 1 double crochet, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet in every arch of 1 chain st.

Before you start making the oval turn after each “V”, make 1 chain st, 1 double crochet, 1 slip st in 3 chain sts increase.
