Step-by-Step Instructions

Round 1: Magic Circle and Single Crochet Foundation

  1. Use the first color of yarn to begin and make a Magic Circle:
    • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create an “X.” Insert your hook under the yarn, pull the far strand around, and twist to form a loop.
  2. Chain 1 (Ch 1) to secure the magic circle. This Ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
  3. Work 12 Single Crochets (SC) into the magic circle:
    • Insert your hook into the circle, yarn over, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over, and pull through both loops. Repeat this for a total of 12 times.

    • Pull the loose end to tighten the magic circle, and slip stitch (SS) into the first single crochet to join the round.

R 2: Adding Clusters

  1. Switch to your second color of yarn. Attach the new color and secure it with a slip knot.
  2. Begin with a Cluster of 3 Double Crochets (DC):
    • Yarn over (YO), insert your hook into the same stitch as the slip stitch, yarn over, pull through two loops (keep one loop on the hook). Repeat this process two more times. You should now have 4 loops. Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops.
