Round 1: Ch 1 (doesn’t count as a st), 1 sc in same ch you slipped stitched into, 1 sc in each ch around, don’t join at the end of the round.
Round 2: Skip the first sc, work 2 sc in the next sc – place a stitch marker in the second sc you made to mark the first sc you will work into in the next round.
* Skip next sc, 2 sc in next sc; Repeat from * until the end of the round, don’t join.
Round 3: Skip the first sc, remove marker, and work 2 sc into the V part of the seond sc of the round – place stitch marker in the second sc you made.
