Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂

Special stitch used:

2×2 fpdtr left cross: ( worked over 4 sts )

skip next 2 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working in front of the fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.

2×2 fpdtr right cross: ( worked over 4 sts )

skip next 2 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working behind of the fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.

2-1-2 fpdtr left cross: ( worked over 5 sts )

skip next 3 sts, fpdtr around each of next 2 sts 2 rows below, working behind fpdtr just made, sc in 3rd skipped st, working in front of fpdtr just made, fpdtr around each of first 2 skipped sts 2 rows below.
