This is a new pattern featuring Caron Chunky Cakes and introducing the From The Middle Afghan. The yarn is doing the work here, and the pattern is easy to follow.
Once you get started, the rounds are straightforward to maintain. One round is the setup round for the following set of 7 DC shells that are needed.
To complete this 58" square afghan, six balls of Plum Pudding are used, along with an 8 mm or US L/11 Crochet Hook.

Love the pattern. I can't wait to see it once it's finished...

I found the pattern but I'm confused with the first step after chaining 4 - it looks like something is missing
chesterfieldzoo says
I switched it up by starting with 12 dc, sets of 5 for shells in Rd 2. Rd 3 looks like your Rd 5. Rd 4 I slip stitched in first gap, starting my row with the corner sc so I ended with the last shell thus eliminating the need to slip stitch across for Rd 5. My afghan is a rectangle.

If you watch the video it shows the beginning step.
In 4th chain from hook (the first one you made) make double crochet, chain 1, double crochet, chain 1 for a total of 7 times. Join with a slip stitc to the 3rd chain of beginning chain 4.

Can I get more detail on the alteration beginning? Following as-is gives me a rippled circle. Too many she’ll stiches of 5 dc each?
