Join with sl st in top st of ch-4. 3rd rnd: Ch 1, insert hook in same place as sl st and in back loop of corresponding st below, yarn over and draw loop through, finish as for an sc—a raised st made; make sc in same place, insert hook in back loop of next tr and in back loop of corresponding st below, yarn over and draw loop through, finish as for an sc; make another sc in same place (2 sts increased). Work without increasing to other end of oval. Then inc 3 sts across end, work straight along opposite side, then inc in last st (3 sts increased at each end). Sl st in 1st sc made. 4th rnd: Ch 1, sc in both loops of each st around, increasing as necessary at both ends of oval to keep work flat—to inc an sc make 2 sc in same st.
