Step 2: Insert hook into the third ch from hook and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook)
Step 3: YO, insert hook into the same st and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook)
Step 4: YO, insert hook into the same st and pull up a loop (6 loops on hook)
Step 5: YO and pull through all 6 loops on hook.
Step 6: ch 1 to secure the st. (Check picture below)
