Repeats
( ) Work in the same st or sp.
* indicates the start of a repeat
** indicates end of repeat on last repeat only.
Stitch Counts
• Stitch counts between < >
• Unless indicated otherwise, ch 3 counts as dc.
• If your stitch counts are off, avoid the temptation to self-correct without understanding your
mistake. The pattern should work out as written.

Special Stitches:
dc2tog: (cluster): yo, insert hook in next st, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo,
insert hook into same st/sp, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through two loops, yo and pull through 3
loops.

dc3tog: (cluster): yo, insert hook in next st, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, [yo,
insert hook into same st/sp, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through two loops] 2 times. yo and pull
through 4 loops.

dec dc2tog: [yo, insert hook into next st, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops] 2x, yo, pull
through all 3 loops on the hook.

dec dc3tog: [yo, insert hook into next st, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops] 3x, yo, pull
through all 4 loops on the hook.

dec dc5tog: [yo, insert hook into next st, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops] 5x, yo, pull
through all 6 loops on the hook.

Joining the rounds:

Take care that you do not work into the sl st at the join of the round and create extra stitches. I
recommend using stitch markers to prevent extra stitches being created.

Begin Pattern
With smaller hook, ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring (magic ring not recommended).

<14 dc>
Round 2: ch 3, dc in same st. 2 dc in each st around. Join with sl st to top of ch 3. <28 dc>

ch 3, 3 dc) in ch-3 sp, repeat from * around, dc3tog in last ch-1 sp, join with sl st to top of ch 3.
<14 3-dc clusters, 7 ch-3 sps, 7 dc3tog>
If you experience curling during the setup rounds, change to a .5 - 1 mm larger hook. Remember to lay your work
down after every round and admire it, and while you’re admiring, check for curling. If you do not experience curling,
you do not have to change hooks.

Round 5: sl st into the gap just below your hook, between the dc3tog and the 3 dc, (ch 2, dc2tog)
in same sp, *(3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in ch-3 sp, **dc3tog in next 2 sps, repeat from * ending last repeat
at **, dc3tog in last sp, join with sl st to top of dc2tog cluster (be sure to join in the top of the
cluster and not to the ch 2). <14 3-dc clusters, 7 ch-3 sps, 14 dc3tog>

slightly to the right of the center stitch.
