  1. Quick clarification, please? You say in Rnd 2 "hdc in each hdc around" but Rnd 1 says to use double crochet. Should Rnd 1 be hdc? or is that simply a typo in Rnd 2 of the instructions?

  2. Hello! You will actually use the dc first and then switch to the hdc. For some reason the dc for the bottom few rounds helps make a better circle and lays on the table flatter. :)
