Round 2: Chain 1 (ch 1), sc in the same stitch as joining, (ch 3, skip next sc, sc in the next sc) around ending with ch 3, join with a sl st to the beginning sc.
Round 3: Sl st into the first ch 3 loop, ch 4 to count as the first double crochet (dc) and the first ch 1, (dc, ch 1) 2 times in the same loop; (dc, ch 1) 3 times in each ch 3 loop around; join with a sl st to the third ch of the beginning ch 4.
Round 4: Sl st into the first ch 1 space, ch 1, sc in the same space, (ch 3, sc in the next ch 1 space) around, ending with ch 3, join with a sl st to the first sc.
Round 5: Sl st into the first ch 3 loop, ch 1, sc in the same loop, (ch 3, sc in the next ch 3 loop) around, ending with ch 3, join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off and weave in ends.
