Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in the following colors:
  • Lavender
  • Sage Green
  • Cream
• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 single crochets (sc) x 20 rows = 4 inches
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

Round 1

1. Using the lavender yarn, create 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.
2. Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch).
3. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Make sure to crochet tightly to avoid gaps.
4. Join the round by making a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. You should have 6 stitches in total.

Round 2

1. Chain 1 to start the new round.
2. Work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. This will increase your stitch count.
3. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You should now have 12 stitches.

Round 3

1. Chain 1 to start the round.
2. Work 1 single crochet in the next stitch, then 2 single crochets in the following stitch. Repeat this pattern around the circle.
3. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You should have 18 stitches at the end of this round.

Round 4

1. Switch to the sage green yarn.
2. Chain 3 (this counts as a double crochet). Skip the next single crochet, then work a double crochet in the next single crochet.
3. Chain 1, and repeat the pattern of skipping a stitch and double crocheting in the next stitch around.
4. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain-3. You should have 18 double crochets and 9 chain-1 spaces.

Round 5

1. Chain 1 to start the round.
2. Single crochet in the same stitch as the join.
3. Chain 3, skip the next double crochet, and single crochet in the next chain-1 space. Repeat this pattern around.
4. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You should have 9 chain-3 loops at the end of this round.

Round 6

1. Switch to the cream yarn.
2. Slip stitch into the first chain-3 loop.
3. Chain 1, then work the following stitches into the same chain-3 loop: 1 single crochet (sc), 1 half-double crochet (hdc), 3 double crochets (dc), 1 half-double crochet (hdc), and 1 single crochet (sc).
4. Repeat this stitch pattern in each chain-3 loop around.
5. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. You can now fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
