R1: (4dc in next dc-eyelet, ch1) 4 times across, sl st in 1st ch to join; ch2 (counts as hdc), turn;

R3: sc in hdc, sc in sc, (ch5, sc in next sc) across, sc in top of ch2; ch 3, turn;
R4: ch 3, sc in ch5 space, (ch 5, sc in next ch5 space) across - here: 3 times; ch3, dc in 1st sc of R3; ch 3, turn;
R5: 2 dc in ch3 space; ch1, (4dc in ch5 space, ch1) across - here - 3 times; 2dc in ch3 space, dc in top of initial ch3 of R4; ch2 (counts as hdc), turn;

Note: in the foundation row, the first and last ch5s can be reduced to 4s or 3s, if desired, depending on the effect you
re looking for, the combination of yarn and hook you are using, and the type of border you plan on making, if any. Make sure to subtract an equal amount of chains on both ends.
Happy Crocheting!!!
