- First stitch on round is made with a standing stitch but can be replaced with chains;
ch1 = 1 sc, ch2 = 1 hdc, ch3 = 1 dc. - The mandala might be bubbly but it will sort itself out while blocking.
- First dc2tog on round is replaced with ch2+1 dc.
- Total number of sts at the end of each round in (-)
