1. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then work 2 dc into the ring

2. Ch 2 (this makes a corner)

3. Work 3 dc into the ring, ch 2 — repeat 3 more times (you’ll have four groups of 3 dc, each separated by ch-2 spaces)

   → This forms a corner.

3. In the next ch-2 space, repeat:
   3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc

4. Repeat in the remaining two corners.

5. Sl st into top of starting ch-3 to finish the round.
