For the second round: Ch 6. Tr5tog in 3rd ch from hook. Sl st in the same ch where Tr5tog was made. Ch 3. Skip next 3 sc. Sl st in next sc. Repeat around and join with sl st to the first sc of the round.

Practical Tips

Weaving in Ends: Always weave in your ends as you finish each motif to prevent tangled yarn in the final assembly.
Color Placement: Plan your color placement in advance to achieve your desired aesthetic when sewing motifs together.
Consistent Stitch Tension: Maintain consistent tension throughout to ensure all motifs come together harmoniously.
Measure Frequently: Regularly measure your motifs to ensure they remain at the intended size for assembly.

Troubleshooting

Uneven Edges: This could be caused by varying stitch tension. Ensure you maintain the same tension throughout your work.
Motifs Not Laying Flat: If your motifs are curling, try blocking them before assembly. Steam or wet blocking can help the stitches lay flat.
Difficulty with Color Changes: If your colors are bleeding or not smoothly transitioning, ensure you are completing the stitch’s last yarn over with the new color.
