     • In the next stitch, add 3 dc.
     • Skip 2 stitches, and in the third, repeat with 3 dc.
     • Continue this until your second-to-last stitch where you add 3 dc.
     • Form the corner by chaining 2, and in the last stitch, add 3 dc followed by another chain 2.
   • Repeat rows until you have 6 rows. Change colors for each row in the sequence (Color 1 → Color 2 → Color 3 → Color 4 → Color 5 → Color 2 for the last row).
2. Border
   • Using the same color as Row 6, chain 1 and add 1 hdc stitch around the rectangle to form a border. Slip stitch to the first chain to close.
