Instructions

Base

3. Round 2: Ch 3, dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You should have 24 dc.
4. Round 3: Ch 3, dc in the same stitch, *dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You should have 36 dc.

Colorful Rounds

1. Change colors as desired: for each new color, join with a sl st.
2. Round 4: Ch 3, dc in the same stitch. Continue with 1 dc in each stitch around. Change color and join with a sl st.
3. Continue this process, increasing each round by adding a dc to each stitch before adding 2 dc in alternating spots (for example: Round 5 will have 48 dc, Round 6 will have 60 dc, etc.).

Final Touches

1. Once you reach your desired size (approximately 16-18 inches across), finish the last round and cut yarn, leaving a long tail.
2. Use the tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends and secure any color changes.
3. For a finished look, you can add a round of sc in a contrasting color around the edge.
