Notes:

-I used 3 colors, first color, a sea green, is color A
second color, a light bue, is color B
third color, a dark blue, I call color C

-place stitch marker at beginning of each round

-entire pattern is worked in rounds that are NOT joined, unless otherwise stated

-any sl sts made are usually to make color changes less ditinguishable, as in rounds 7, 8, 13, and 14

-ch 2 in round 14-16 DOES NOT count as first dc!!!

6) (sc inc, sc in next 4 sts) round (36)

7) (sc inc, sc in next 5 sts) around, mke a very tight sl st in first st (42)

-join color B, cut color A, continue with color B-

8) sc in each st around, join with a tight sl st in first sc (42)

9-12) sc in each st around (42)

13) sc in each st around, make a very tight sl st in the first sc of the round (42)

-join color C, cut color B, continue with color C-

15-16) ch 2, (fpdc around next st, bpdc around next st) around, join with a sl st to top of first dc (not the ch 2) (42)
