1 st in back loop of next dc, pick up 1 st in front loop of same dc, pick up 1 st in the next dc on row = 6 sts on hook, make a YO and pull through all 6 sts, work 1 ch, * pick up 1 st in the hole, pick up 1 st in the side on the last of the 6 sts, pick up 1 st in same st as the last of the 6 sts was picked up in, pick up 1 st in back loop of next dc, pick up 1 st in front loop of same st = 6 sts on hook, make a YO and pull through all 6 sts, 1 ch *, repeat from *-* until 1 dc remains on row, work 1 htr in last dc. Turn.
ROW 2: 2 ch (replace 1 htr), work 2 htr in every "star hole", finish row with 1 htr in last st. Turn.
ROW 3: Work 3 ch, pick up 1 st in 2nd and 3rd ch from hook, pick up 1 st in the first 3 htr on row = 6 sts on hook, make a YO and pull through all 6 sts, work 1 ch, * pick up 1 st in the hole, pick up 1 st in the side on the last of the 6 sts, pick up 1 st in same st as the last of the 6 sts was picked up in, pick up 1 st in each of the next 2 sts = 6 sts on hook, make a YO and pull through all 6 sts, 1 ch *, repeat from *-* until 1 dc remains on row, work 1 htr in last htr.
