Turn your work counterclockwise and we will begin working row 2.
WORKING ROW 2: How to Treble Crochet in Row 2To work row 2, you need to bring the yarn or thread up to the correct height for the next row. To raise the yarn, chain four (this is called the turning chain). The four chains in the turning chain just made count as the first treble crochet on the new row. Skip the first stitch and work a treble crochet in the second stitch (see illustration 48). Be sure to insert the crochet hook under top two loops of each stitch
