13th rnd: Ch 3 (to count as 1 d c), * d c in ch-1, d c in d c, repeat from * around increasing 1 d c in every 4th sp by making 2 d c under ch-1 instead of 1 d c. Join. 14th rnd: Same as 12th rnd. 15th rnd: * Ch 13, sk 4 sps, s c in next d c. Repeat from * around. Sl st in 7 sts of first ch-13. 16th rnd: * Ch 7, s c in next loop, and repeat from * around.
