Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a slip knot.
   • Hold the ring with your fingers and make sure it’s secure.

   • Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch).
   • Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. (6 stitches)
3. Round 2:
   • Increase in each stitch around by placing 2 sc in each of the 6 stitches. (12 stitches)
4. Round 3:
   • Work *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch* around. (18 stitches)
5. Continue Increasing:
   • Repeat the increase pattern: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch* until you have a total of 48 stitches.
6. Work Even:
   • For the next 2 rounds, work 1 sc in each stitch around without increasing.
7. Begin Wave Pattern:
   • Start the wave pattern with the following sequence: *Chain 3, skip 2 stitches, double crochet (dc) in the next stitch, chain 3, skip 2 stitches, single crochet (sc) in the next stitch* around.
8. Repeat Wave Pattern:
   • Continue the wave pattern for a total of 10 rounds, changing colors every 2 rounds to create a beautiful gradient effect.
