Single Interwoven star

Here is another variation on the Circular Peyote star .
#2 "Single Interwoven Star". This is worked the same way as the first star, making two separate ones and stitching them together to form the finished element. Doubles means add 2 beads together in single space.
I work counterclockwise in rounds, always going through two beads at the end of the round to " step up" to the next round.

Colors:
A:teal
B: Purple
C: gold
D: Light blue
E: Dark blue

Round 1: string 3 A beads, tie in a circle.
Round 2: Add 3 doubles Color B: 2+2+2, between each Teal bead. Step up to next level by going through first purple bead strung so you come out between the double.
Round 3:  Add 6 color B, one at a time
Round 4: Add 12 beads: 6 doubles color C
Round 5: Add 12: D,C,E,C,D,C,E,C,D,C,E,C
Round 6:  Add 12: D ( E,E,D,D) twice E,E,D
Round 7: Add 18: (E, double C,D, double C)3 times
Round 8:Add 18: [(D,C,D) (E,C,E)] three times
Round 9 : Add 18 (D,D,C,E,E,C) 3 times
Round 10: Add 24 ( Double D, C,C ,double E, C,C,) 3 times
Round 11:Add 24 ( D, C,C,C, E, C,C,C) 3 times
Make 2 of these with second one ending after round 10. Zip them together at edges to form pendant.
