Materials:

worsted weight yarn

size "J" hook

Notes:

Post Double Crochet (pdc) - This stitch is worked around the post of the next stitch in the previous row. To execute, yarn over, insert the hook before the next stitch, bring up on the other side, yarn over, draw up a loop, then complete the same as a regular double crochet.

- I've found that depending on your yarn and personal crochet style, you may want to put (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in your corners.
