It's a lot easier than it looks.
Hook size: I; finished piece about 7.5“ with Rnd 6 or about 8.5” with Rnd 7.
ch 6, sl st attach
Rnd 1: ch 4 (dc, ch 1), dc, ch 1 11 times; sl st into 3rd st of ch 4
Rnd 2: In top of ch 3 3-dc cluster, ch 2; cluster, ch 2 in each dc around; sl st into the top of the middle dc of the 1st cluster (12 clusters, 24 ch)
Rnd 3: ch 3, 6 dc (corner); *3 dc, ch 1 in ch 2 sp, 3 dc in ch 1 sp; 7 dc (corner); repeat from * around, sl st into top of original ch 3.
Rnd 4: In this round the dc cluster, ch 2, dc cluster, ch 2 make new corners.
sc into top of 1st dc of previous round, sc in next st, sl st in corner (4th) dc, sc in next 3 st;
*skip st, hdc cluster, ch 2; (in ch 1 sp dc cluster, ch 2, dc cluster, ch 2); skip st, hdc cluster in center st of 3-dc, ch 2;
sk st, sc in next 3 st, sl st, sc in next 3 st; repeat from * around to the last hdc cluster, sk st, sc, sl st to 1st sc to close
Rnd 5: In this round a different set of corners is created.
Attach new color in any sl st, (ch 2 to start a dc cluster, finish cluster w/2 more st, ch 3, dc cluster, ch 1) in same st; sk st, hdc in next 2 st; *sc in next 9 st including ch 1 sps, hdc in next 2 st, ch 1, sk st, (dc cluster, ch 3, dc cluster, ch 1) in sl st; repeat from * finishing off with final 2 hdc, sk st, sl st to top of original cluster.
Rnd 6: Attach new color in ch 3 sp, (ch 2 to start a dc cluster, finish cluster w/2 more st, ch 3, dc cluster, ch 1); *dc cluster, ch 1 in ch sp; skip st then hdc, hdc, sc, sc, sl st, sl st, sc, sc, hdc, hdc, ch 1; dc cluster, ch 1 in ch sp; (dc cluster, ch 3, dc cluster, ch 1), repeat from * around; sl st into center of beginning cluster.
Rnd 7: Attach new color in ch 3 sp, (ch 2 to start a dc cluster, finish cluster w/2 more st, ch 3, dc cluster, ch 1); *dc cluster, ch 1 in each of next 2 ch sp; sk 1 st, 3 dc in next st, sk 2 st, 3 dc in next st, sk 2, 3 dc, ch 1; dc cluster, ch 1 in each of 2 ch sp; (corner); repeat from *, sl st to top of original cluster.
