I have not tested gauge for this pattern. Make sure to measure it before you finish it off.

*The pattern for the flower is not my pattern. I purchased it off Etsy. It will not be included here.*

*The chain 2 (or chain 1) at the beginning of the round does not count as a stitch. When joining rounds, join to the first stitch you made after the chain. Do not turn your work.

Chain 4, join with sl st to form ring.

Round 1: Chain 2, make 13 dc into ring, sl st to first dc. 13 stitches
Round 2: Chain 2, make 2 dc in each stitch around, join with sl st to first dc. 26 stitches.
Round 3: Chain 2, make 2 dc in each stitch around, join with sl st to first dc. 52 stitches.
Round 4: Chain 2, make 1 dc in each stitch around, join with sl st to first dc. 52 stitches [each round from here on should have 52 stitches]
Round 5: Chain 1, make 1 hdc in each stitch around, join with sl st to first hdc.
Round 6: Chain 1, sc in each stitch around, join with sl st to first sc.
Round 7: Repeat round 6.
Round 8: Repeat round 5.
Round 9: Repeat round 4.

Remaining rounds: Repeat rounds 5-9 as many times as desired. It doesn't matter what round you end on, but do a round on sc to give it a finished look when you reach the desired size.
