Step-by-Step Instructions

Round 1

2. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
3. Into the magic ring, work 11 double crochets (dc). You should have a total of 12 dc in the ring.
4. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3.

Round 2

1. Chain 4 (this counts as your first dc and a chain 1).
2. In the next stitch, work 1 dc, then chain 1. Repeat this pattern around the circle.
3. Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of the beginning chain 4. You should have 12 dc and 12 chain-1 spaces.

Round 3

1. Slip stitch into the first chain-1 space.
2. Chain 3 (counts as your first dc), then work (dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the same space.
3. In each subsequent chain-1 space, work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc). Repeat this around the circle.
4. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 48 dc total.

Round 4

1. Slip stitch to the next chain-2 space.
2. Chain 3 (counts as your first dc), then work (2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) in the same space.
3. In each subsequent chain-2 space, work (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc). Repeat this around the circle.
4. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 72 dc total.

Round 5

1. Slip stitch to the first chain-3 space.
2. Chain 1 and work 1 single crochet (sc) in the same space.
3. Chain 5, then in the next chain-3 space, work 1 sc. Chain 5 again.
4. Repeat this pattern around the circle, joining with a sl st to the first sc. You should have 12 sc and 12 chain-5 spaces.

Round 6

1. Slip stitch to the first chain-5 space.
2. Chain 1, then in each chain-5 space around, work (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc).
3. Join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.

Finishing Touches

1. Create a tassel using the same yarn colors and attach it to the bottom of the ornament.
2. Make a loop at the top of the ornament for easy hanging.
