Round 1: (right side) Ch 6, then work (3 dc, ch 3) 3 times into ring. Add 2 dc, sl st to join, and fasten off. You should have 12 dc and 4 ch-3 spaces. Round 2: Attach Color 2 at any chain-3 space, chain 6, and make 3 double crochets in the same chain-3 space. Repeat (chain 1, 3 double crochet, chain 3, 3 double crochet) in the next ch-3 sp. Repeat from * twice more, ch 1, then dc twice to This completes the edges with 21 double crochets, 4 chain-1 spaces, and 4 chain-3 spaces. Additional Notes:
