Start working in back loops only from now on, to get a nice ribbed design:
Round 2:
- Ch 1, sc 5,
- to form the corner: (sc 1, ch 3, sc 1) into the ch-3-space,
- sc 5, turn [= 12 sc].
Round 3:
- h 1, sc 6,
- to form the corner: (sc 1, ch 3, sc 1) into the ch-3-space,
- sc 6, turn [= 14 sc].
Keep working like this, increasing 2 sts on every row, until your desired size is reached.

In our example, we’ve used stripes in the following colors:
| 1.-7. R: | royal blue |
| 8.-9. R: | light blue |
| 10.-12. R: | royal blue |
| 13.-14. R: | light blue |
| 15.-16. R: | royal blue |
| 17.-18. R: | light blue |
| 19.-30. R: | royal blue |
Fasten off. Weave in ends. Work the 2nd piece just like that. Zum Schluss alle Fäden vernähen.
