Thank you to Red Heart for providing the yarn used in this project.
Stitch Multiple
To increase or decrease the width, chain any multiple of 4 then add 5.
Notes
If you prefer, you can substitute a beginning chain 2 instead of a beginning chain 3 on odd rows.
I’ve indicated the odd row side as the right side of the project solely because I liked the look of that side better. In truth, both sides are lovely and you can take your pick.

Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc): Yarn over, insert hook to the side of the indicated stitch, move hook around the back of the stitch and out the other side of same stitch, yarn over, pull loop through, [yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook] twice.
