Love it! I was looking for a 'circle in a square' pattern the other day and couldn't find one, so came up with my own. Very different than this, though - good job!
Very sloppily written pattern. Did you even have a tester?
Very nice pattern, not well written but a semi-experienced crocheter can figure out the necessary changes. Like when to chain the first stitch in the round. I finished it and it turned out nicely.
