This is the stitch I used in the pocket pillow described here.

Start with a multiple of 5 + 2 hdcs. Then it’s a 4 row repeat:

1. (WS) hdc in 1st st, hdc in 3rd loop of each hdc to end, hdc in last st, turn.
2. (RS) hdc in 1st st,
   [hdc 2 rows below, 4 hdcs current row] across,
   hdc in last st, turn.
3. repeat row 1.
4. (RS) hdc in 1st st,
   [2 hdcs, hdc 2 rows below, 2 hdcs] across,
   hdc in last st, turn.

After the last row 3, I ended with:

1. Across the top: sc in 1st st,
   [2 scs, hdc 2 rows below, 2 scs] across,
   3 scs in last st,
2. Down the side: sc in each row,
3. Across the bottom: 3 scs in 1st st,
   [2 scs, hdc 2 rows below, 2 scs] across,
4. Up the side: 3 scs in 1st st, sc in each row, 2 scs in last st, join to top with sl st.
