3. Round 2: Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the same stitch. Next, make 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 dc now.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then make 2 dc in the next stitch. Now, *make 1 dc in the next stitch, then 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 36 dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, make 1 dc in the next stitch, then 2 dc in the next stitch. Now, *make 1 dc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 48 dc.
6. Round 5: Chain 3, make 1 dc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 dc in the next stitch. Now, *make 1 dc in the next 3 stitches, then 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 60 dc.
7. Round 6: Chain 3, make 1 dc in the next 3 stitches, then 2 dc in the next stitch. Now, *make 1 dc in the next 4 stitches, then 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 72 dc.
8. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until your placemat reaches your desired size. For a standard size, aim for a diameter of approximately 14 inches.
