To help you with stitch counts per side. The ch 1 spaces and slip stitches are not counted at the end of each of the instructions. So I am providing that here for your help. Stitch counts increase the ch 1 spaces and slip stitches per side.

I also put in the increase of what is going to happen in the next round so you can understand the increase when you do the repeats.

• Rnd 1 – 1 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
• Rnd 2 – 5 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
• Rnd 3 – 7 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
• Rnd 4 – 9 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
• Rnd 5 – 13 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
• Rnd 6 – 15 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
• Rnd 7 – 17 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
• Rnd 8 – 21 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
• Rnd 9 – 23 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
• Rnd 10 – 25 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
• Rnd 11 – 29 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
• Rnd 12 – 33 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
