Rnds 1-3, you end up with 16 stitches as you complete each round.  The ch 5 in the beginning of Rnd 3 is to be counted as a "dc + ch 2" and is the first stitch in one of your corners -- each corner has 3 dc's with a ch 2 between them (all made in one sc).  Between these corner stitches you have 1 dc with a ch 2 on each side of it.  After you complete Rnd 4, you end up with 56 sc's.
