Creating the Dreamcatcher

1. 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 the top of the chain 3 to join. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
2. Round 2: Chain 3, then double crochet in the same stitch. Now, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join. You will have 24 double crochets.
3. Round 3: Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch*. Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch to join. You will have 36 double crochets.
4. Round 4: Chain 4 (this counts as a double crochet and a chain 1), then *skip the next stitch, double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1*. Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch to join. You will have 36 double crochets and 36 chain-1 spaces.
5. Round 5: Slip stitch into the first chain-1 space, chain 3, double crochet in the same space, chain 1. Now, *work 2 double crochets in the next chain-1 space, chain 1*. Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch to join. You will have 72 double crochets and 36 chain-1 spaces.
6. Round 6: Chain 1, single crochet in the same stitch, then *chain 5, skip the next 2 double crochets, single crochet in the next chain-1 space*. Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch to join.
7. Round 7: Slip stitch into the first chain-5 space, chain 3, then work 6 double crochets in the same space. Now, *work 7 double crochets in the next chain-5 space*. Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch to join.
8. Finish Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.

Adding the Fringe

1. Cut strands of yarn approximately 12 inches long. You will need several strands for a full fringe effect.
2. Attach the yarn strands to the bottom of the dreamcatcher using a lark's head knot. To do this, fold a strand in half, place it under the bottom of the crochet piece, and pull the ends through the loop created by the fold. Pull tight to secure.
3. Trim the fringe to your desired length, ensuring an even look.

Assembly

1. Take a wooden hoop and attach your crochet piece to it using yarn or thread. Make sure it is securely fastened.
2. If desired, embellish the fringe with beads or feathers for an added bohemian touch. Simply thread beads onto the yarn strands or tie feathers at intervals along the fringe.
