To repeat same alignment , repeat rows 2 through 5 until completion.
To stagger your paws:
R6 8 dc, *Paw R2, 3dc. Repeat * across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts
R7 8 dc, *Paw R3, 3dc. Repeat* across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts.

R9 1 dc in each st across
To continue repeat rows 2 through 9 until completion
If you notice an error please let me know.
Please note that this is more of a guide and I did not add the turn after each row.
Iโm assuming you have watched the video and you know to turn after each row and create a dc in first st using your favorite method.
