Chain 4; 4 dc in first chain; join.
*Chain 2; sc in front loop of first st; sc in back loop of rest of the stitches; join.
Chain 2; sc in front loop of first st; sc in back loop of rest of the stitches; join.
Chain 3; dc in front loop of first st; dc in back loop of rest of the stitches; join.**
Repeat * to ** till you have the size you want. Bind off, working a loop at the end.
