Steps

1. Slip Knot and Initial Chains:

2. Foundation Row:
   • Make a half-double crochet (hdc) in the first chain, yarn over, insert the hook in the chain, yarn over again, pull through the chain, yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook.
   • Make another chain to complete Row 2 and give the lap counter a hit.

3. First Increase:
   • In Row 3, make an increase by putting 2 hdc in the same stitch.
   • Make another stitch in the last chain (ensure the last stitch is done correctly as it is a bit hidden).
4. Normal Rows:
   • Make one stitch in each stitch for the next three rows (Rows 4, 5, and 6).
   • The pattern is: one row with an increase, followed by three rows without increases.

6. Work up to Row 67:
   • From Row 62 to Row 67: Make five normal rows without increases.
7. Begin Decreases:

     • Insert the hook into the second stitch, yarn over and pull through (you'll have four loops), yarn over and pull through all four loops.
   • Finish the row with normal stitches.
   • Follow the pattern: one row with a decrease, then three rows without.

10. Finish Off:
    • Make one final chain, cut the thread, and tuck in the ends using the mattress needle.
