Love this pattern! Works up quickly! It will be a “go to” for me while watching a favorite streamed show! Lovely scalloped edge! Thank you!
Btw. Tip if you are new to kitchen crochet...Crochet cotton dishcloths wash up well and last for years!

At the end of step 3 it says to chain 3 and then the start of step 4 says to chain 3, 2 dc into same stitch.
Is this 6 chain on total or just repeated by accident?
And 2 double crouched into what same stitch? Sorry I am a self taught beginner and don’t really understand some terms that may be obvious to experienced crocheters.

It's just a chain 3, at the end of row 3 it's asking you to slip stitch into the top of the chain 3 that you started with.

Why do my circle crochet projects ruffle ?
Mikey says
Means you are too loose with your stitches. Reduce your hook size.
