Round 2: Ch 3, work (2 tc, ch 2, 2 tc) into each ch-2 space around omitting last treble in last space and ss to beg ch-3. <12 tr, 6 ch-2 spaces>
Round 3: *Ch 3, work 3 tc into next ch-2 space, ch 3, work ss into space between next 2 clusters of trebles (this is in the space where you did not ch 2 in the previous round); repeat from * around. <6 clusters of 3 tr each>
