• Gauge: 8 stitches x 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull through to create a loop on your hook.
2. Round 1: Work 12 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • To do a double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over again, pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the first dc to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then work 2 dc in the same stitch.
   • Continue by working 2 dc in each stitch around (total of 24 dc).
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first dc.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around (total of 36 dc).
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 2, then *dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around (total of 48 dc).
   • Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first dc.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until the rug reaches your desired size.
   • Make sure to maintain the pattern of increasing stitches evenly around the circle.
7. Create the Diamond Pattern:
   • To achieve the textured diamond look, alternate between front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc).
   • For fpdc, yarn over, insert your hook from the front to the back of the stitch, yarn over, pull through, and complete the double crochet as usual.
   • For bpdc, yarn over, insert your hook from the back to the front of the stitch, yarn over, pull through, and complete the double crochet as usual.
8. Finish with a Border:
   • Once you have reached your desired size and completed the diamond pattern, finish with a border of single crochet (sc) around the entire rug.
   • To do this, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
