Ruffling

I'm pretty new with this crochet stuff and I'm having trouble understanding pattern instructions. And everyone says, "why am I not surprised." Well, I've been trying to complete a doily (any doily pattern without watching a youtube video) but after about 3 or 4 rounds I get massive ruffling. It really looks like I'm following the pattern right but obviously not. Is this a typical problem?
