Instructions for the crochet block stitch

Check the written pattern for crocheting block stitch if you are comfortable with reading leaning:

Crochet a row of foundation chains in the multiple of 3 and one additional chain for turning the wok. (3x + 1).
Row 1: Insert the hook into the second chain from the crochet hook. Make 1 single crochet, *chain 2, and skip the next two stitches. In the next chain, make one single crochet. Repeat * across the row until you reach the last stitch. Here, only do 1 single crochet.
Row 2: Make one chain and turn your work. Make 1 double crochet in the very first stitch. You will see you have created 2-chain spaces in the previous row. Now, you have to work on them by inserting the crochet hook. So, in each 2-chain space, work three double crochet stitches across the row.
Row 3: Turn the work and chain one. Make one single crochet in the first stitch and one more in the chain space between the double crochet stitches. Now, *chain 2, skip 3 double crochet stitches and make one single crochet in the double crochet space. Repeat * across the row. Single crochet between the last cluster and the final stitch of the row. Single crochet in the final stitch of the row.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 steps until you get the desired height.
