Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: Size L (8.0 mm)
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a loop on your hook.
   • Yarn over again and pull through the loop on your hook to complete the first stitch.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. (Total: 6 stitches)
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around by working 2 sc in each stitch. (Total: 12 stitches)
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch*; repeat around. (Total: 18 stitches)
5. Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch*; repeat around. (Total: 24 stitches)
6. Round 5: *Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, increase in the next stitch*; repeat around. (Total: 30 stitches)
7. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you have a total of 60 stitches.
8. Rounds 10-20: Work even in single crochet (sc) for 11 rounds. Do not increase; just maintain the stitch count of 60 stitches.
9. Round 21: *Single crochet in the next 4 stitches, double crochet (dc) in the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch*; repeat around to create the wave pattern.
10. Rounds 22-30: Repeat Round 21 for a total of 10 rounds to enhance the wave texture.
11. Finish Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it.
12. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
