    🔁 Let’s Get Started: Step-by-Step

     

    ✅ Round 1:

     

    1. Make a slip knot, then chain 4.

     

     

    2. Join the ends with a slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.

     

     

    3. Chain 3 (counts as 1 double crochet).

     

     

    4. Do 2 double crochets into the ring, then chain 2.

     

     

    5. Repeat: 3 dc, ch 2 — do this 3 more times into the ring.

     

     

    6. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning ch-3 to close the round.

     

     

     

    ➡️ You now have 4 sets of 3 dc (called clusters) with ch-2 spaces at each corner.

    ✅ Round 2:

     

    1. Slip stitch into the next 2 stitches until you reach a corner space.

     

     

    2. In the corner space, do:

     

    ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc.

     

     

     

    3. In the next corner space, do the same:

     

    3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc.

     

     

     

    4. Repeat in each corner.
