Materials Required

Before you begin, gather the following supplies:

• Yarn: Choose a DK (double knit) or worsted-weight yarn for best results. Cotton yarn provides a crisp finish, while acrylic offers softness and warmth.
• Crochet Hook: A 4mm hook is recommended for DK yarn, while a 5mm hook works well for worsted weight.
• Scissors: For trimming yarn ends.
• Tapestry Needle: Used for weaving in loose ends.
• Stitch Marker (optional): Helps to keep track of the beginning of rounds.

Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets into the ring. Slip stitch to close the round. You should have 12 stitches in total.

Round 2: Make 2 double crochets in each stitch around (increasing in every stitch). Close the round with a slip stitch. You should now have 24 stitches.

Round 3: Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet), then make 2 more double crochets in the same stitch. Repeat this sequence—3 double crochets in one stitch—across the round. Slip stitch to close. You should have 36 stitches.

Round 4: Into each stitch from the previous round, follow this sequence: 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet into the corresponding stitch from Round 2 (working into the round below), then another double crochet. Repeat this pattern around and close with a slip stitch. The round should total 36 stitches.

Round 5: Chain 4 (counts as your first treble crochet), then make 2 more treble crochets in the same stitch. Chain 3, then work 3 more treble crochets into the same stitch to form a corner. Chain 1, make 3 double crochets in the next stitches, chain 1, then work 3 more double crochets. Chain 1.

Repeat the following sequence three more times: (3 treble crochets, chain 3, 3 treble crochets in the same stitch), chain 1, 3 double crochets, chain 1, 3 double crochets. Close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 6: Chain 1, then make 3 single crochets. Work 15 single crochets across the next stitches. Repeat this sequence—3 single crochets, followed by 15 single crochets—three more times. Close the round with a slip stitch.
