Round 5: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 3 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (40 hdc)
Round 6: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 4 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (48 hdc)

Round 8: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 6 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (64 hdc)
Round 9: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 7 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (72 hdc)
Round 10: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 8 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (80 hdc)
Round 11: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 9 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (88 hdc)
Round 12: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 10 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (96 hdc)
Round 13: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 11 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (104 hdc)
Round 14: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 12 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc (112 hdc)
Round 15: ch 2, [2 hdc in first stitch, 1 hdc in next 13 stitches] repeat around, join to first hdc, finish off, cut yarn (120 hdc)
