- Round 3: Chain 2. *Work 1 puff stitch in the next stitch, then 2 puff stitches in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 24 puff stitches at the end of this round.
- Rounds 4-8: For these rounds, chain 2 at the beginning of each round. Work 1 puff stitch in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round. You will maintain 24 puff stitches throughout these rounds.
- Round 9: Switch to silver yarn. Chain 2 and work 1 puff stitch in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You will still have 24 puff stitches.
- Rounds 10-12: Switch to deep purple yarn. For each of these rounds, chain 2 and work 1 puff stitch in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round. You will maintain 24 puff stitches.
- Round 13: Switch back to midnight blue yarn. Chain 2 and work 1 puff stitch in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 24 puff stitches.
