Round 2:

Sl st to next ch-2 space. Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc in the same space (corner made).

Ch 2, (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in next ch-2 space, ch 2 — repeat around. Join with sl st.

Sl st to corner ch-3 space. Ch 3, 4 dc, ch 3, 5 dc in same space.

Ch 4, skip to next corner and repeat (5 dc, ch 3, 5 dc). Join.

Form arches: Ch 5, sc in space between petals around.

In corners, make ch 5, sc, ch 5, sc to create lace loops.
