2nd row: Draw up three loops through double of last row, leave the loops standing out, work one double into the same stitch, two chain, pass over two stitches, one single into the next, five chain, one single into the double of last row, five chain. Repeat from the beginning of last row.

3rd row: One double into the three loops that were left standing up of last row, three chain, one single into each of the three next successive stitches, draw up three loops through the next.

4th row: One single into the second of three chain of last row, four chain, one double into the next three loops together, four chain, one single into second of three chain, five chain, pass over four stitches, and repeat from the beginning of the row.

5th row: One single into the third of four chain of last row, two chain, take another length of hairpin-work and work one single into a centre stitch, then one single into the double of last row, two chain, pass over one stitch, one single into the next, three chain, one double into twenty-two loops of hairpin-work together, cross the loops as in the first row, three chain. Repeat from the beginning of the row.
