This is my second attempt at this pattern and it came out so much better this time then the last. I’m not using the same weight yarn so I ended up altering the pattern. To start out I used a magic loop (because I love it so much better then making a chain circle) then I made 9 dc in the loop. I stuck with the same pattern of expansion until I got to a row that had about 52 stitches. From there I did a row even (1 dc in each dc) followed by a row with increases. From the 10th row on 1 dc in each dc until it was about where I wanted the ribbon row to be. The rest was as the pattern was written.
