Hdc
in 3rd loop: Yarn over and put the hook in the 3 loop of
the next stitch, yarn over and pull through all the loops.
A
typical hdc (half double crochet) has three loops, two in the front
and one in the back, the one in the back is called the 3rd loop
The
pattern:

Row
1: Make a hdc in the 3rd stitch from the hook and hdc in each
stitch across the row.
Row
2: Chain 3. hdc in the 3rd loop and continue for the next
4 stitches. Next you make herringbone stitch in the next 20
stitches and hdc in the 3rd loop for the last 5 stitches.
Row

Finishing:
