help with coffee cozy

[Nikkidear]

I'm trying to make one of those coffee cup cozies, like the cardboard ones you get at Starbucks and such. I am trying to use the pattern I found here...

But I am doing something wrong. Where my rounds join up it looks like a peak rather then a straight edge. I think I am joining it wrong, as I have never really worked in the round before. Is there some trick to this, or some step I'm missing? Am I supposed to be turning it like a granny or something? I am totally stumped on what looks like a simple pattern.

I found this tutorial very helpful to me and I had been crocheting for almost 50 years when I found it

Thanks so much. I just glanced at it and it looks like it will be very helpful.
