Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a slip knot.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Work 15 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have a total of 16 dc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Now, work 2 dc in each stitch around the circle.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 3. You will have 32 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 3, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 48 dc now.
5. Round 4:
   • Chain 3, then *dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain 3. You will have 64 dc at the end of this round.
6. Round 5:
   • Chain 1, then sc in the same stitch.
   • *Chain 5, skip the next 3 stitches, and sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc to complete the round.
7. Finishing:
   • Fasten off your yarn and cut it, leaving a tail for weaving in.
   • Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
