Round 3: *Half double crochet increase, then half double crochet in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. (24 stitches)
Slip stitch to the first stitch of the next round, then fasten off and weave in your yarn ends.
Now, attach the white yarn.
Round 4: Chain 1 and work a half double crochet increase in the same stitch. Follow this with a half double crochet in the next 2 stitches. *Now, work a half double crochet increase in the next stitch, followed by a half double crochet in the next 2 stitches.* Repeat from * to * around.
