Round 5: Adjust the position of your increases to avoid polygon shape, sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in next stitch, and sc in each of the following two stitches repeat 6 times to get 30 stitches.

Round 6: Sc in the next 4 stitches, then increase in the fifth repeat 6 times for 36 stitches in total.

Round 7: Change the increase position again, sc for 6 stitches, and in the 7th and 8th stitches work 2 sc repeat 6 times.

Round 8: Continue with the increase pattern, working an increase in every 7th stitch, for a total of 42 stitches.

Forming the Pot-Like Structure

Rounds 9 to 13: Work 1 sc in each stitch around, sl st to join, and ch 1 to start a new round.

At the end of round 13, cut off the green yarn and secure the end.

Working the Watermelon Pulp

Switch to red yarn and repeat rounds 1 to 7.

In the last stitch of round 7, prepare to change to white yarn.

Start the sc with red yarn, but before completing the stitch, switch to the white yarn to finish it off.

Adding the White Rind

Continue with Round 8 using white yarn, maintaining the previous increase pattern.

Work in ends as you go, and trim any excess.

Finishing with Invisible Slip Stitch

Once you have completed Round 8 with white yarn, cut the yarn and pull through.

Use a yarn needle to create an invisible close by threading the yarn through the first stitch and the outside half of the last stitch.
