"Now that we have completed our second row what I'm going to show you now is how to start our next row. With your loop on your needle you're going to go ahead and just turn your piece around to the backside and you're going to make two chains up. Pull your yarn through chain one and chain two. Again, this is just to set the height for the rest of our next row, because we're continuing to use the double crocheting. Now, you want to keep this next row going the same direction as the row we did before, because remember we have to do it three rows high the same direction to get this nice proportion pattern like you see right here. So, what you are going to do is you're going to loop yarn around your needle. Since these are facing backwards, because you can see this row right here you're going to come in from the back and go through the front like that. You see the stack sitting right on top of there. Pull your yarn through. We've got our three. Then you're going to take your yarn and pull it through the first two loops and you're going to take another piece of yarn and pull it through the second two. There we've went ahead and added another row to it. You can see on the back it's just continuing this all the way up. We're going to do it one more time, remember we had to end with two because I didn't do enough chains initially. So, with our yarn right here we're going to come in from the back because these are our back ones. We're going to put our needle in the front of there. We're going to pull our yarn through. We have our three loops. We are going to pull your yarn through the first two chains. You're going to wrap yarn around again and pull it through the second two. This is the standard double crochet that we're just changing our direction of whether we're coming in from the front or from the back of it, or coming in from the front. This is the only effect that we're using to get the columns to either stay in front or to go behind. We're just going to continue this. I'll show you how to keep these coming out the same way in our next clip."
