After 3rd round, diameter of the flat circle should be 7 cm.
Make sure you measure the diameter from front loop to front
loop (not from back loop to back loop). Please check the picture provided. Also
make sure that you measure exactly at the centre.

- Ch 1 and ch 2, do not
count as stitches.
- Where increase is
mentioned, make 2 dc in same st.
- Join with sl st at the end
of each round. Do NOT turn after each round.
- For dc rounds, instead of
adding last inc in one st, add 1 dc in last st and 1 dc in sl st of
previous round.
