Assembly:  This is basically your own interpretation of how you want your pieces together.  Keep in mind that your st counts might be off from mine, don’t worry about that.  Just remember that you do not want to work too much into the circle piece, as you want to make sure you have plenty of room when using it.    You will be working through both pieces, how I put mine together was this:  With right side facing you, and using your marked st, place one circle on the left side of your base, insert hook into a st that matches up with your marked st on base, and thru marked st, Ch1, sc in same st, and into next 20sts, then sc in 5sc of the base, put your next circle onto base and working through both pieces, sc in next 21sc, sc in last 5 sc of your base, join to the first sc.  Fasten off, weave in ends.
