Rnd 1: Ch 4, and join to form a ring. Ch 3, then make 14 dc inside ring. Join with a slip stitch in top of 1st dc of previous rnd.

Rnd 2: Ch 3 and make a dc in the same stitch. * 1 dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, Repeat from * around making sure to dc into the base of the ch 3. (23 sts including ch3) Join with a slip stitch in top of 1st dc of previous rnd.

Do the 3rd round the same as the 2nd. (33 dcs including ch3)

Rnds 4 - 10: Ch 3 and make a dc in the same stitch, then dc in each dc around including into base of ch3 of the previous row, joining with a sl st in the top of the 1st dc of the round you just finished.. (Stitch counts: rnd 4 = 35, rnd 5 = 37 - increasing by 2 each rnd)

You can do a final loopy row of ch 4 skip a dc, sc into the next, ch 4, skip a dc, sc into the next etc.
You can also do rnd 10 using an alternating front post and back post dc.
Or sc around for an 11th row using an alternative color.
