Materials Needed
- Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn in midnight blue and silver
- Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors: For cutting yarn
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
Row 1: Create the Magic Ring
- Start by making a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring.
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
- Next, work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. You should have a total of 12 double crochets including the initial chain 3.
- To close the magic ring, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3.
Row 2: Form the Snowflake Design
- Chain 1 to start the second row.
- In the same stitch, work a single crochet (sc).
- Now, *chain 5, skip the next double crochet, and work a single crochet in the following double crochet.* Repeat this sequence around the entire round.
- At the end of the round, you will finish with a chain 5. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet you made at the start of this row.
Finishing Touches
- Once you have completed the second row, fasten off your yarn by cutting it and pulling it through the last loop on your hook.
- Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
Final Thoughts
