1: sc across=16 sts. ch 3 turn
2:dc in beg chain, 2 dcs in each st=32 sts. ch 3 turn
3: ch-3 counts as 1 dc, dc in first st=2 dcs, 1 dc in
next st, (2dc,
1dc across)=48 sts, ch 3 turn

Now front and back of yoke is done, do not cut yarn.

Next row makes spaces to weave ribbon thru:

5: sc in 1st st, ch 1, ski st, sc in next, follow this
across the
row. ch 3 turn

6: using the v-stitch, work across: dc, ch 1, dc in
each ch-1 space,

at the end of row 8, connect to the top of ch 3. from
now til the end

the row. ch 3
