Notes

• Note for changing colors for each round: when you sl st to join the last st of each round, insert your hook into the top of beginning ch, drop your working yarn, yo with new color yarn and finish your sl st with the new color. Ch 1 or 2 as instructed for each round and continue the following round with the new color.

• No need to know how to crochet a Magic Circle for this pattern. If you’re not familiar with the Magic Circle, you may substitute it for a ch3 instead, then sl st into the first chain to form a circle.

• You can make the pattern larger or smaller by changing the type of yarn and/or hook size.

• Numbers at the end of each step (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that step.

• Please note that I use US crochet terms.
