Welcome to the 'ville!

I drew a little diagram, I hope this makes sense.  And pardon my artistic ability, the stitches are spread out on the left side but crammed together on the right side.  Inner black ring and dot =starting ring, dot is the SPOT where round 1 starts, but is not a stitch) Red= round 1, green round 2, outer black=round 3. Stitches - dots are slip stitches, | is US DC, x is US SC, o is chain; so \o/ is a DC-chain-DC (V stitch).

My scan is complete, but it got cut off when I uploded it here - the part written at an angle is 'ch 4 counts as tr (US DC) + ch1'.

Doing the pattern as written I am getting cupping starting with round 2 and its horrible in round 3.

This is what I got on round 2.

 

This one I did ch 4 at each corner of round 2 and 3 and it lays flat.
