You can use any yarn and hook, this is a great way to start any  project that calls for a chain row and a dc row. ( esp. if your chain row is generally tight or loose) Chain 4 ( 3 for your first dc and one for the chain) yo (yarn over) insert your hook in the forth chain from the hook and pull through ( you should have 3 loops on your hook) yo and pull through the first loop, ( you have made the chain) * 3 loops on the hook* yo, pull through 2 loops, ( you have done the first half of your dc) *2 loops on the hook* yo and pull through the last 2 loops you now have 2 dc's  Continue with this pattern, *yo insert your hook in the chain from the last dc, pull through 1 loop, then do your dc as normal until you have the length you want!! This is my first row
