The starting frame (base)
Use the white yarn. (2m16s) Start with 1 sl st, *make 4 chs* rep. to have approximately 20 cm of multiples of 4 chs, (3m47s) make 3 more chs in the end.
R1: Make 3 chs, work 1 dc in the 6th ch from the top, (4m46s), make 1 ch, *sk 1 ch from the base, work 1 dc* rep. until the end of that round (5m25s)

R2: (7m09s) Make 4 chs. Turn the work over. Work 1 dc, make 1 yo and work 1 puff stich in the next square of the base (make 5 yo in the same square, put the crochet through them without the last loop, close all of them with 1 ch, work 1 dc in next st from the base, make 1 ch), *work 1 dc in next dc from the base and work another puff stich in the next square of the base (make 5 yo in the same square, put the crochet through them without the last loop, close all of them with 1 ch, work 1 dc in next st from the base, make 1 ch)* rep. until the end of that round.
