Special Stitches:

Foundation: Create a chain with multiples of 3, then add 1 to achieve your desired project width.
Row 1: Double Crochet (DC) in the 4th chain from the hook.
Repeat Skip 2, 3 DC in the next until you reach the last 3 stitches.
Skip 2, place 2 DC in the last stitch.
If you’re changing colors, do so at this point.
Row 2: Turn your work. Begin with a Stacked DC in the first stitch, followed by a DC in the same stitch.
Repeat Skip 2, work a V-Stitch into the next until you approach the final 3 stitches.
Skip 2, and place 2 DC in the last stitch.

Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you’ve achieved your desired project length.
