I {JMSQ} don't read charts, so looking at the photo's this is what I came up with as a pattern.
Original pattern is Service Places crochet free pattern at
yarn patterns crochet blog
G hook - 15" around
F hook next time & I'll post measurments
**NOTES:
*Ch 4 on row 1 & ch 2 on each row count as 1st st
**V st - 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc in same
*** Now I was running out of yellow yarn, so instead of 3 dc's,
ch 1 in each ch 1 space around, I alternated 2 dcs, ch 1 and the
next 3dc's, ch 1 around. Still worked up nicely
