To end the round, insert your hook into the first dc, YO the peach color and pull through the dc and the loop on your hook to complete a sl st while joining the new color (see pic 2 above).—–18 dc

*(sk next 2 sts, dc3tog, ch 2, dc3tog, ch 2) in the next st, repeat from * until you have a total of 12 dc3tog, sk the beginning ch-2, sl st to first dc, and fasten off. If the last gap looks bigger, unravel and do the last ch 2 tight before you sl st to the first dc. Use your hook to pull the yarn tail to the back through the next st. See pic 3 above.——12 dc3tog
4. Round 3 in progress
Round 3: With blue color yarn, sl st to the ch-2 space right before the point of fastening off, (ch 2, dc2tog) in the same ch 2 space (counts as first dc3tog), (ch 1, dc3tog, ch 1) in the same ch-2 space, (dc3tog, ch 1, dc3tog, ch 1)in each ch-2 space across, skip beginning ch2 and sl st to the first dc2tog, fasten off.
