3rd rnd:  Sl st in next loop, ch 4, 10 tr in same loop, (ch 5, 11 tr in next loop) 3 times;ch 5, sl st in top of ch-4 loop.

4th rnd:  Ch 5, (tr in next tr, ch1) 9 times; * tr in next tr, ch 5, sc in next ch-5 loop, ch 5, (tr in next tr, ch 1) 10 times.  Repeat from * around.  Join last ch-5 with sl st to 4th ch of ch-5.

8th:  Sl st in next ch, sc in same loop, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) 6 times; ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, in next loop make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; ch 5, skip next dc, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, sc in next ch-3 loop.  Repeat from * around.  Join.

9th rnd:  Sl st in next ch, sc in same loop, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) 5 times;ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, dc in next 2 dc, in next sp make 2 dc, ch 5 and 2 dc; dc in next 2 dc, ch 5, dc in next 3 dc, ch 5, sc in next ch-3 loop.  Repeat from * around.  Join.
