GAUGE:
12 sts = 4”; 7 rows = 4” in dc with larger hook. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge.

Special Abbreviations
inc (increase) = 2 dc in next dc.
dec3 (decrease) = Yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, skip next dc, yo and draw up a loop in next dc, yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

NOTE:
Join and cut colors as required, always joining new color in a ch-2 space. When possible, carry yarns loosely along wrong side of work, twisting every other row to avoid long strands.

THROW
With larger hook and C, ch 5; join with a slip st to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as a dc), 15 dc in ring; join with a slip st in top of ch-3 – 16 dc.
Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same st as joining, inc in each dc around; join – 32 dc.
Round 3: Ch 3, dc in same st as joining, [inc, dc in next dc] 15 times, inc in last dc; join – 49 dc.
Round 4: Join A in same st as joining, ch 3, dc in next dc, [inc, dc in next 3 dc, inc, dc in next 2 dc] 6 times, inc, dc in next 3 dc, inc; join – 63 dc.
Round 5: With C, ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, dec3, dc in next 3 dc, [ch 2, dc in next 3 dc, dec3, dc in next 3 dc] 6 times, ch 2; join – 7 ch-2 spaces and 49 dc (7 dc between ch-2 spaces).
Round 6: Join A in any ch-2 space; ch 3, * [inc] twice, dec3 (skipping dec3 of previous round), [inc] twice **, (dc, ch 2, dc) all in ch-2 space; repeat from * to last space, end at **; dc in last space; ch 1, hdc in top of ch-3 to join and form last space – row ended – 7 ch-2 spaces and 77 dc (11 dc between ch-2 sps).

Round 8: Ch 3, * [inc] twice, dc in next 4 dc, dec3, dc in next 4 dc, [inc] twice **, (dc, ch 2, dc) all in ch-2 space; repeat from * to last space, end at **; dc in last space, end row – 7 ch-2 spaces and 19 dc between ch-2 sps.
Round 9: With C, ch 3, * inc, dc in next 7 dc, dec3, dc in next 7 dc, inc **, (dc, ch 2, dc) all in ch-2 space; repeat from * to last space, end at **; dc in last space, end row – 7 ch-2 spaces and 21 dc between ch-2 spaces.
Round 10: With A, ch 3, * inc, dc in next 8 dc, dec3, dc in next 8 dc, inc **, (dc, ch 2, dc) all in ch-2 space; repeat from * to last space, end at **; dc in last space, end row – 7 ch-2 spaces and 23 dc between ch-2 spaces.

Repeat Round 11 (working 1 more dc before and after center dec3) in colors as follows:
