• Rounds 1 and 2 are joined with a slip stitch.

• Beginning with Round 3, work in continuous rounds without joining. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.

• When working an increase, make a fpdc around the indicated post from the previous round, then work a dc into the top of that same stitch, behind the fpdc.

Pattern

Make a magic circle, ch 2.

Round 1: Work 14 dc into the magic circle. Sl st to the first dc to join. (14 sts)
