Crochet holder case:

Round 2: Ch 2, DC in the same st as the join, then DC in each st around. Join with a sl st to the first DC. (60 DC)
Round 3: Ch 3 (counts as a DC), skip the join st. [Skip the next 2 sts, work 3 DC in the following st] – repeat around. At the end of the round, skip the last 2 sts, then work 2 DC in the join stitch (together with the starting ch-3, this forms a group of 3 DC). Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch-3.
