Pattern in UK Terminology


Hook - 3.5m

Yarn - Cotton DK Weight in 5 different colours.
Yarn A - Pink 
Yarn B - Black
Yarn C - White
Yarn D - Light Green

With Pink make a magic ring and work first round into ring (alternatively you can make 2 chains and then work into the 2nd chain)
Round 1 - Ch3 (count as tr st throughout), 13tr into ring, join with a ss into 3rd ch of first st (14 sts)
Round 2 - Ch3, 1tr in same st, 2tr into next st and each st until end, join with a ss into the 3rd ch of the first st (28 sts)
On the next round we will be joining the black and colour changing between sts when prompted. Do not fasten off unused yarn, carry behind the work.
Round 3 - Ch1 (does not count as st throughout), 1dc in next 2 sts, *change to Black, 1dc, change to Pink, 1dc in next 3 sts, repeat from * 5 times, change to Black, 1dc, change to Pink, 1dc, join with a ss into first dc (28 sts)
Fasten off Black and continue in Pink
Round 4 - Ch3, 1tr in same st, 1tr into next st, (2tr into next st, 1tr) 13 times, join with a ss into the 3rd ch of the first st (42 sts)
Fasten off Pink and join White
Round 5 - Ch1, 1dc in each st around, join with a ss into first dc (42 sts)
Fasten off White and join Light Green

Round 6Ch1, 1dc in first 2 sts, (2dc in next st, 1dc in next 2 sts) 13 times, 2dc in last st, join with a ss into first dc (56 sts)
Fasten off Light Green and join Bright Green
Round 7Ch1, 1dc in each st around, join with a ss into first dc (56 sts)
Fasten off and weave in all ends


Blocking is optional, I found with the cotton yarn, they can easily be manipulated into shape.

Happy Hooking!
