• Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 4 inches = 10 stitches in double crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Hold the yarn in your hand and create a loop. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a slip knot.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then *work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, and 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 double crochets now.
5. Round 4: Change to red yarn. Chain 1, then work 1 single crochet (sc) in the same stitch. Now, *chain 2, sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 12 chain-2 spaces at the end of this round.
6. Round 5: Change to blue yarn. Slip stitch into the first chain-2 space, then chain 3. Work 2 double crochets in the same space. Now, *work 3 double crochets in the next chain-2 space; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 double crochets at the end of this round.
7. Round 6: Change to cream yarn. Chain 1, then work 1 single crochet in the same stitch. Now, *chain 3, sc in the next cluster; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch.
8. Finish off: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
