RND 2: Ch 5 (counts as dc, ch 2), (dc, ch 2) in each sc around, join with a Sl st in 3rd ch of beg ch-5—12 ch-2 sps.
RND 3: Ch 1, sc in first st, *3 sc in the ch-2 space**, sc in dc, rep from * around, ending last rep at **, join with a Sl st in first sc—48 sc.

Weave Seam
I use this join when I want a really flat seam. Hold pieces to be seamed side by side and, working from the wrong side, insert needle from front to back, through one loop only, draw through, progress to next stitch, bring needle from back to front (not over), and proceed in this manner until seam is completed. If you draw through top loop only, a decorative ridge will be left on the right side of the work. If you draw through bottom loops, the ridge will be on the back of the work.
