Joining Rounds
To join each round: join with a slip stitch around the first front post treble crochet of the previous round (or beginning ch 2 of the first round), ch 2, then fptr down into the same front post treble crochet you just did the slip stitch to (again, this will be a ch 2 for the beginning round). This pushes the ch 2 behind the fptr you just made. This isn’t necessary, but it looks better than a standard ch2 and makes the join less obvious.
