Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 8 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (You should have 8 stitches now.)
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. (You should have 16 stitches now.)
4. Round 3: Ch 1, *work 1 sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. (You should have 24 stitches now.)
5. Round 4: Ch 1, *work 1 sc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. (You should have 32 stitches now.)
6. Round 5: Ch 1, *work 1 sc in the next 3 stitches, then 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. (You should have 40 stitches now.)
7. Begin Basketweave Pattern: Ch 2 (this counts as your first double crochet (dc)), then *work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 2 stitches, followed by a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next 2 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st.
8. Continue in Basketweave Pattern: For the next 4 rounds, continue the basketweave pattern by alternating fpdc and bpdc every 2 stitches. Make sure to join each round with a sl st.
9. Finish Up: Once you have completed 5 rounds of the basketweave pattern, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
