Row 2: Crochet 7 single crochets and join with a slip stitch in the first single crochet. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
Row 3: Change to white. Crochet into each single crochet from the previous row: 1 slip stitch, 3 chain stitches, 1 double crochet, 4 chain stitches, and 1 slip stitch. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
