Watch this video if you have never worked a foundation chain, I wouldn’t work just a chain, because it will curve on you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csonnkDEyys&t=144s
Foundation chain is as follows, chain 2, yarn over and insert hook in the 2 nd chain from the hook, yarn over and pull through one loop and yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook,
*Repeat for 24 more, so yarn over and insert hook in the center of the next stitch, yarn over and pull through one loop and yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook,

Sew the chain 1 vertical rows on each row going up and down, keep the chain 3’s free, so you can place your hooks inside.
