It's perfect, very easy and simple but when you building up looks very sophisticated:))))
Here are the written tutorial and some pictures of my project.





Yarn: NAKO, Astra
Hook: 3.5
Pattern: Ravelry
Design by Celeste Young.

Stitch Abbreviations:

large shell: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same space

Pattern:  (I used several colors) Using one of your color , ch 4. Join with sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as first dc throughout pattern), work 11 dc in ring (12 dc). Join with sl st in top of ch2 from beginning (join in this manner throughout pattern).
Round 2: Ch 2, dc in same st, 2 dc in each dc around (24 dc). Join.

Continue working in rounds in pattern as established, always working 1 round with small shells followed by 2 rounds with large shells. You will work 5 rounds of each color, 1 round of white (always a small shell round), 5 rounds of next color, 1 round of white, and so on. Continue repeating rounds 8-13 with the number of dc increasing in each large shell round between the "ch 2 space" and the "skip 2 sts" until the last round of rainbow colors is worked. Join, cut yarn.

Final round: I made picot edge-  4sc, picot, 4sc, picot... at the corners 3 picots.
