Round 2: Hold circle formed in round 1 in center of tape core. All stitches should be stitched around tape core as well as in stitches of previous round. Ch 1. Sc in same st. *2 sc in next st. Rep from *. Join with sl st in ch 1. Fasten off. (24 sc).
Round 3: With yellow, join with sl st. Ch 3. 3 dc in same loop. *4 dc in next st. Rep from *. Join with sl st in ch 3. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
