Tools
Q - 19 crochet hooks
Scissors
Abbreviations
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
st - stitch
sl st – slip stitch
FO – fasten off
NOTES - ch 3 counts as first dc
I started out with 12 d, If you would like more rounds start with 6 and work your increases from there.
I used my yarn until it ended. If you would like even rounds change color every time you start a new row. - when you get to Rows 4 and above you will need more than 1 ball of the same color. I show how to change color at the end of this tutorial in my next tutorial, which gives you 2 options.
If you would like your rounds to be closer together and less gap in between, ch 3 and turn. I do this with my hat patterns; it gives it less gap in between. Be careful and make sure you are counting your chains, when you turn it is easy to lose track and mess up the rounds.
