4. Put 2 double crochets around the next double crochet in the row below. Put 1 double crochet around the next stitch; 2 around the next—and continue in this way around the whole row. You should have 8 sections of 2 double crochets together with 1 double crochet between them when row is finished. Join last double crochet with top of the 3 chains.
5. Third row: Make 3 chains. Make 1 double crochet around the 3 chains of the row below. Put 1 double crochet around the first double crochet in row below. Put 1 double crochet around the second double crochet. Put 2 double crochets around the third double crochet. Repeat this direction around the entire row, and join.
