Round 2: Ch 3 to replace the first dc, work 3 dc into the arch, then repeat 3 times *ch 5, 3 dc into the arch, 1 dc into the dc, 3 dc into the arch*, then work ch 5 and 3 dc into the last arch. Close round 2 with a slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the starting chain.
Round 3: Following the chart, work the additional slip stitches, ch 3 to replace the first dc, 3 dc, one ch-5 arch, and 4 dc, then repeat 3 times *ch 3, 1 sc worked into the 4th of the seven dc, ch 3, then 4 dc, one ch-5 arch, 4 dc*, ch 3, 1 sc, ch 3. Finish the round with a slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the starting chain.
