Repeat from * around, ending with ch 4, half dc in 3rd st of ch-13. 11th rnd: Ch 3, sc in same ch as half dc, (ch 3, skip 1 st, sc in next st) 17 times; * ch 8, skip next sc and next 4 ch, sc in next ch, (ch 3, skip next st, sc in next st) 18 times. Repeat from * around. Join.
   12th rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, * (ch 3, sc in next loop) 17 times; (ch 6, sc in next loop) twice. Repeat from * around.
