Ch 3.
1st rnd: 10 hdc in 3rd ch from hook (skipped ch-2 does not count as st).10 hdc. Do not join.
2nd rnd: 2 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc (at back of work below loops normally worked - see diagram). Place marker on rst of these 2 sts. 2 hdc in horizontal bar created below each hdc around. 20 hdc.
Note: WS of work is shown in diagram.
3rd rnd: Moving marker to rst st of rnd, *2 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc. 1 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc. Rep from * around. 30 hdc.
Cont to move marker at beg of each rnd, proceed as follows:
4th rnd: *2 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc. 1 hdc in horizontal bar created below each of next 2 hdc. Rep from * around. 40 hdc.
5th rnd: *2 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc. 1 hdc in horizontal bar created below each o fnext 3 hdc. Rep from * around. 50 hdc.
6th rnd: *1 hdc in horizontal bar created below each of next 2 hdc. 2 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc. 1 hdc in horizontal bar created below each of next 2 hdc. Rep from * around. 60 hdc.
7th rnd: *2 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc. 1 hdc in horizontal bar created below each of next 5 hdc. Rep from * around. 70 hdc.
8th rnd: *1 hdc in horizontal bar created below each of next 3 hdc. 2 hdc in horizontal bar created below next hdc. 1 hdc in horizontal bar created below each of next 3 hdc. Rep from * around. 80 hdc.
