Can change colours as often as you like, if changing colour, attach yarn in a chain space from the previous round. If not changing colour SL ST along to the next chain space.

Round 2 – Into first Chain Space, CH 2 (Counts as First DC), 2 DC, CH2, 3DC, *CH1 this is the first corner, into the next Chain Space [work a Double Cluster, CH 1], repeat until there are 5 Double Clusters making 5 Corners. SL ST into the First DC of the round to join the round.
