Long sts, circle rows, crochet hook 4,5: 1^st row: join the yarn, 1 chain st increase, single crochets, finish with 1 slip st in chain st increase;

2^nd row: 1 chain st increase, * place working yarn behind work around the third and ring fingers, then, draw the yarn through both sts on the crochet hook*; repeat from * to *, 1 slip st in chain st increase. Long sts are formed on the WS. Make 1^st-2^nd rows x twice.
