  • For this pattern you DON’T turn between rounds.

Instructions:

Chain 4.

Round 1: [2Dc. Chain 2. (3Dc. Chain 2.) x’s. 3.] in the fourth chain from hook. Join with a SS to the top of the starting Chain 3.

Round 2: Chain 3. 2Dc in the same space. Chain 1. [(3Dc. Chain 2. 3Dc.) in the next chain 2 space. Chain 1.] x’s. 3. 3Dc in the last chain 2 space. Chain 2. Join with a SS to the top of the starting Chain 3.

Round 3: Chain 3. 2Dc in the same space. Chain 1. [3Dc in the next Chain 1 space. Chain 1. (3Dc. Chain 2. 3Dc.) in the next chain 2 space. Chain 1.] x’s. 3. 3Dc in the next chain 1 space. Chain 1. 3Dc in the final Chain 2 space. Chain 2. Join with a SS to the top of the starting Chain 3.

Round 4: Chain 3. 2Dc in the same space. Chain 1. [(3Dc in the next Chain 1 space. Chain 1.) x’s. 2. (3Dc. Chain 2. 3Dc.) in the next chain 2 space. Chain 1.] x’s. 3. (3Dc in the next Chain 1 space. Chain 1.) x’s. 2. 3Dc in the final Chain 2 space. Chain 2. Join with a SS to the top of the starting Chain 3.

Round 5: Chain 3. 2Dc in the same space. Chain 1. [(3Dc in the next Chain 1 space. Chain 1.) x’s. 3. (3Dc. Chain 2. 3Dc.) in the next chain 2 space. Chain 1.] x’s. 3. (3Dc in the next Chain 1 space. Chain 1.) x’s. 3. 3Dc in the final Chain 2 space. Chain 2. Join with a SS to the top of the starting Chain 3.

Round 6: Chain 3. 2Dc in the same space. Chain 1. [(3Dc in the next Chain 1 space. Chain 1.) x’s. 4. (3Dc. Chain 2. 3Dc.) in the next chain 2 space. Chain 1.] x’s. 3. (3Dc in the next Chain 1 space. Chain 1.) x’s. 4. 3Dc in the final Chain 2 space. Chain 2. Join with a SS to the top of the starting Chain 3.

Round 7 (optional): Chain 1. Sc in same space. *Sc in each stitch and chain space across. (Sc. Chain 2. Sc.) in the next chain 2 space.* Repeat from * to * around. Join with a SS to the first Sc made. (100 Sc + 4 Chain 2 spaces)

Finish off. Weaves in ends.
