4. Round 3: Chain 3, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You should have 36 dc.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (1 dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch) until you have a total of 96 dc.
6. Switch to Silver Yarn: Change to silver yarn and work 2 rounds of single crochet (sc) around the entire placemat. After completing the rounds, fasten off the yarn.

2. Round 1: Chain 1, then work 1 sc in each chain around. Join with a sl st.
3. Rounds 2-4: For each of these rounds, chain 1, then work 1 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st at the end of each round.
4. Finish Off: After completing Round 4, fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends.
5. Embroider Star Motifs: Using the silver yarn, randomly embroider small star motifs onto the napkin ring to add a celestial touch.
