The first round where you start making the holes

1. To make the holes, follow a written pattern for a particular item item. In this example, first make a modified single crochet.

2. Then chain two (the yarn that you are not working with stays aside).

3. Skip two stitches and make two modified single crochets in the next two stitches (carry the yarn that you are not working with). Notice that the green yarn is hanging in the hole. That is fine.

4. Then repeat it: chain two, skip two stitches and make two modified single crochets in the next two stitches.

5. Work in the same way until the end of the round. The round will end with a modified single crochet.

The second round

6. Start the next round with one modified single crochet.

7. Next you will have to make a modified single crochet in the chain two space of the previous round. So, insert your hook in the chain two space grabbing both green yarns like it is shown in the picture.

8. Then yarn over the white yarn.

9. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.

10. Yarn under.

11. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. You have just made a modified single crochet in the chain two space. Notice that now both green yarns are wrapped around with the white yarn.

12. Make the second modified single crochet in the same chain two space.

13. Next make two modified single crochets in the next two stitches.

14. Then repeat: make two modified single crochets in the next chain two space and two modified single crochets in the next two stitches.

15. Work in the same way until the end of the round. Notice that the holes are not perfectly aligned where a new round starts: this is normal when you work in continuous rounds.
