• Pattern Correction:
  In Round 3 of the main body, consistently increase every third stitch to reach 36 dc. In Round 4, placement of increases should follow “dc, inc, dc” for each repeat to total 48 dc.
• Tip:
  Always check your stitch count at the end of each round. Use stitch markers in the first stitch of each round for accuracy. If using glue, ensure dry time before handling the case.
