3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around. (You should have 12 stitches now.)
4. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. (You should have 18 stitches now.)
5. Round 4: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. (You should have 24 stitches now.)
6. Rounds 5-8: Work 1 sc in each stitch around for a total of 4 rounds. (You will still have 24 stitches.)
7. Change to icy blue yarn: Switch your yarn to the icy blue color.
8. Round 9: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, then work a sc2tog (single crochet two together)*; repeat this pattern around. (You should have 18 stitches now.)
