Purpose for Chain at the beginning of round - Many times I will use a chain at the beginning of the round. It will not count as a stitch. I use it as a step up so I can work the full crochet stitch in place of the traditional chain. I feel this technique has a neater appearance than working a chain. You may use a chain 2 or 3 if you prefer using traditional crochet techniques.
Attach the slip knot to the crochet hook. Chain 4, join with the beginning chain.
Round 1: chain, this will not count as a stitch, Work 16 double crochet through the loop. Join with the beginning stitch. (16 stitches total)

Continue around from * to the beginning, SL ST-slip stitch to join with the beginning stitch. (32 stitches total - 16 DC-double crochet, 16 FPDC-Front Post double crochet) Cut the yarn and change color.
Round 3: Attach the new color of yarn with a slip knot to the crochet hook. Chain, this will not count as a stitch, work a double crochet in the same stitch, work 2 DC-Double crochet in the next stitch. *Work 1 DC-Double Crochet in the next stitch, work 2 DC-double crochet in the next stitch. Continue around to the beginning from*, join with the beginning stitch. Cut the yarn and change color. (48 Stitches total)
Round 4: Attach the first color of yarn with a slip knot to the crochet hook. Attach the yarn normally and align even, to the stitch above the FPDC on Round 2.

Chain 3, Skip 2 stitches, *work a SC- single crochet in the next stitch. Work an elongated FPDC-Front Post Double Crochet around the FPDC on Round 2. Chain 3, Skip 2 stitches, continue around from *, join with the beginning single crochet. (There will be a total of 16 chain 3 loops with a single crochet/elongated Front Post Double Crochet)
