 Next we make three chain stitches (ch3) (image 1) then double crochet (dc) into the ring.

To double crochet (dc) yarn over (image 2) and insert hook into the ring, yarn over again (image 3) and draw hook through the ring.  Yarn over again (image 4) and draw through the first two loops.  Yarn over again (image 5) and draw through the remaining two loops to make the first double crochet (image 6). 

Make another double crochet in the ring.  This combination of ch3 and 2dc creates a shell, (in the first shell of a each round the 3 chain stitches counts as the first double crochet, so in subsequent shells we make 3 double crochets)

Make 2 chain stitches and make another shell (3 double crochets in ring).

Again make 2 chain stitches and another shell (3 double crochets in ring).

Again make 2 chain stitches and another shell (3 double crochets in ring), this makes the fourth shell.

To connect the fourth shell to the first shell thus closing the first round, make two chain stitches and slip stitch into the first double crochet of the first shell (second loop of the 3 chain stitch).
