Similarly to my series “What you can make from crocheting squares/rectangles”, this series will focus on what you can make using a simple circle pattern. Circles are a bit more tricky than squares because they are crocheted in rounds. You will need to make sure you keep count of your stitches or use a stitch marker to let you know where to start the next round.
Stitches and abbreviations used: magic loop, chain (ch), double crochet (dc), join (jn), stitch (st), slip stich (sl st)
Using the hook size specified for the type of yarn you would like to use.
Magic loop (or ch 2)
Round 1: 6 dc in the magic loop (or second ch from hook), jn to first dc with sl st (6 total dc)
Round 2: ch 2, 2 dc in each dc, jn to first dc (12 total dc)
Round 3: ch 2, * 1 dc, 2 dc *, repeat from * to * around, jn to first dc with sl st (18 total dc)
Round 4: ch 2, * dc in each of next 2 st, 2 dc in next st *, repeat from * to * around, jn to first dc with sl st (24 total dc)
Round 5: ch 2, * dc in each of next 3 st, 2 dc in next st *, repeat from * to * around, jn to first dc with sl st (30 total dc)
Round 6: ch 2, * dc in each of next 4 st, 2 dc in next st *, repeat from * to * around, jn to first dc with sl st (36 total dc)
Round 7: ch 2, * dc in each of next 5 st, 2 dc in next st *, repeat from * to * around, jn to first dc with sl st (42 total dc)
Continue with rounds increasing the number of single dc’s by 1 each round which will increase your total number of dc’s by 6 each round.
Edging is optional. Tie off and weave ends when the desired size is reached.
Each of the next posts in this series will focus on one thing that you can make using a variation of the above pattern.
