🧶 What You’ll Need:
2 or more contrasting yarn colors (DK or aran)
Crochet hook (3.5 for DK or 4 for aran)
Yarn needle & scissors

PATTERN:
work each row from right to left, no turning, fasten and cut yarn
use 1 colour per row
start each new row with a slipknot joined in the 1st stitch from your last row
first and last SC will be worked through both loops

I am using US crochet terms.
Abbreviation chart:
CH – CHAIN STITCH
ST - STITCH
SC – SINGLE CROCHET
DC - DOUBLE CROCHET
BLO - BACK LOOP ONLY
FLO - FRONT LOOP ONLY
DROP DOWN DC - WORK A DC IN THE PREVIOUS ROW in the unworked front loop

Pattern:
Ch multiple of 6 plus 3, (for this project ch 33)
R1- SC in each st starting from the second one from the hook, fasten yarn and cut
R2- join another colour with a slipknot and SC in the first st from your last row, continue to SC BLO until last st, where you need to work a SC through both loops
R3- join another colour with a SC, *work a drop down DC in next st, SC BLO in next 5 sts, and repeat from *, the last stitch will be SC through both loops
R4- join colour with SC, SC BLO, drop down DC, SC BLO in next 5 sts, drop down DC, SC BLO in next 5 sts, drop down DC, continue until you will only have 4 SC BLO sts to make and 1 SC through both loops.

** the pattern tells you where you need to work the drop down DCs ( after the DC from the previous row you need to make another next to it )
** when at the start of a row the pattern is asking for more than 5 sts to make a DC, then you know it is time to start from R3.
