Round 1- Chain 3, dc in 3rd chain from
hook. The 2 chains you skipped count as the first double crochet, now
and throughout. Working all in the same space, make 3 dc, 3 hdc,
5 dc, 3 hdc and slip stitch in the chain 2 of the beginning.
Round 2- Chain 2, dc in same st, work
all around (2 dc in each dc, hdc in each hdc).
Round 3- Chain 2, dc in same st, work
(1 double crochet in next stitch, 2 in next) 4 times, 2 double crochet
in next stitch, double crochet in each half double crochet, 2 double
crochet in next stitch, (1 double crochet in next stitch, 2 in next) 3
times, 2 double crochet in next stitch, double crochet in each half
double crochet and join with a slip stitch in chain 2.
Next
Rounds- here
you must sort of wing it. Continue working 2 dc in the ends as
you need them, and then on the sides use just 1 in each stitch.
If your work ruffles, use less dc and if it curves, add more, just as
if you were making a beret.
"And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work
and preserve me
for His heavenly kingdom.
To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!"
(2 Timothy 4:18)
