    Chain 2. dc in the same stitch, dc in next stitch. 2 dc, 1 dc (repeat until end of round, connect with slip stitch). (18 stitches)
    Chain 2. dc in the same stitch. dc in next two stitches. 2 dc, 1 dc, 1dc (repeat until end of round, connect with slip stitch). (24 stitches)
    Chain 2. dc in the same stitch. dc in next stitch. 2 dc, 1 dc (repeat until end of round, connect with slip stitch). (36 stitches)
