2nd rnd: Scin same place as sl st, * (ch 3, skip next tr, sc innext tr) 4 times; ch 3, innext so make 2 dc, ch 3 and 2dc;ch3,scin next tr. Repeat from * around. Join.

3rd rnd: Sl stin next loop, sc in same loop, * (ch 3, sc innext loop) 3 times; ch 7, skip next sp, innext so make 2 dc, ch5 and 2 dc; ch /, skip next sp, sc innext loop. Repeat from * around. Join.

4th rnd: Slstinnext loop, scinsame loop, * (ch 3, sc innext loop) twice; ch 7, skip next sp, innext so make 2 dc, ch5 and 2 dc; ch7, skip next sp, sc innext loop. Repeat from * around. Join.
