ROW 3: Go up with 8 chains, insert chain in the same stitch where you started making 1 slip stitch. Go up with 4 chains, make high double crochet all around, including the chain of 8 that we made at the start. Close row with a slip stitch.

ROWS 4 – 6: Go up with 4 chains, make high double crochet for each stitch of the previous row. Repeat until the end of the rows. Close each row with a slip stitch.
