Starting the Stitch
To start the Lily of the Valley stitch, create a chain of 28 stitches. Remember that the stitch multiple for this pattern is four.
First Row
In the first row, we will be working with three double crochets. Skip the first three chains and start making three double crochets in the fourth chain from the hook. Continue this pattern of skipping three chains and making three double crochets until the end of the row.
Second Row
To begin the second row, chain three and turn your work. Make one double crochet in the space between the first fan of double crochets and the two double crochets. Then, make another double crochet by going into the second chain of the previous row's double crochet. Continue this pattern of one double crochet between fans and one double crochet in the second chain until the end of the row.
Third Row
In the third row, chain three and turn your work. Make a double crochet in the space, then make another double crochet by going on top of the second double crochet from the previous row. Continue this pattern of one double crochet between fans and making a double crochet on top of the second double crochet until the end of the row.
Continue repeating the second and third rows until you achieve the desired length for your project.
