Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your crochet dreamcatcher:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Make a loop with your yarn, leaving a long tail. Insert your hook into the loop and pull up a loop.
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. Round 1:
   • Work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the initial chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 5 (this counts as a dc and a chain-2).
   • In each stitch around, work 1 dc followed by a chain-2. Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of the beginning chain-5. You will have 12 dc and 12 chain-2 spaces.
4. Round 3:
   • Slip stitch into the first chain-2 space.
   • Chain 3 (counts as dc), then work 2 dc in the same space.
   • Chain 1, then in each of the next chain-2 spaces, work 3 dc followed by a chain-1. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain-3. You will have 36 dc and 12 chain-1 spaces.
5. Round 4:
   • Slip stitch to the next dc.
   • Chain 3 (counts as dc), then dc in the next 2 dc.
   • Chain 3, then in each of the next 3 dc, work 1 dc followed by a chain-3. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain-3. You will have 36 dc and 12 chain-3 spaces.
6. Round 5:
   • Slip stitch to the next dc.
   • Chain 3 (counts as dc), then dc in the next 2 dc.
   • Chain 5, then in each of the next 3 dc, work 1 dc followed by a chain-5. Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain-3. You will have 36 dc and 12 chain-5 spaces.
7. Finishing:
   • Fasten off your work and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
   • Attach your crochet piece to a metal ring by slip stitching around the edge.
8. Creating Tassels:
   • Cut lengths of yarn for the tassels (approximately 10-12 inches long).
   • Fold each length in half and attach to the bottom of each circle using a slip knot.
   • Trim the tassels to your desired length for a polished look.

Congratulations! You have now created your very own elegant crochet dreamcatcher. Hang it in your favorite space and enjoy the bohemian charm it brings!
