Foundation Chains
This stitch requires multiple of 3 stitches + 1 + additional 2 for the base chain
For your Tensions: If you are to make 21 stitches, add an extra chain, and another 2 chains for the base, giving you a total of 24 chains to begin with.
Row 1 (Right Side)
Skip the first 2 chains from the hook (this counts as 1 single crochet), work [1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet] into the next chain, * skip the next 2 chains, work [1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet] into the next chain, repeat from * until the last 3 chains, skip the next 2 chains, and 1 single crochet into the last chain. turn
Row 2 (Wrong Side)
chain 1 (count as 1 single crochet), work [1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet] into the first stitch, * skip [1 double crochet and 1 half double crochet], work [1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet] into the next single crochet, repeat from * until the last 3 stitches, skip [1 double crochet and 1 half double crochet], 1 single crochet into the top of the turning chain, turn.
Repeat Row 2 to continue.
