Weaver pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 15 + 2. Work due to the scheme 2. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-7^th rows x once.

Colors order: 3 beige rows, * 1 pink row, 1 beige row* x once.
