Steps

Step 1: Starting the Magic Ring

Create a Magic Ring: If you don’t know how to make a magic ring, you can also start with a chain of 3 and join to form a loop.
First Row: Inside the ring, work 12 half double crochets (hdc).
Join R1: Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch.

Step 2: Increasing Rounds

Row 2: Chain 1, and then work 2 hdc into each stitch around (24 stitches). Slip stitch to join.
Row 3: Chain 1, work 1 hdc into the first stitch, then 2 hdc into the next stitch. Repeat around. (36 stitches). Join with a slip stitch.
Row 4: Chain 1, work 1 hdc into the next 2 stitches, then 2 hdc into the third stitch. Repeat around. (48 stitches). Join with a slip stitch.
Row 5: Chain 1, work 1 hdc into the next 3 stitches, then 2 hdc into the fourth stitch. Repeat around. (60 stitches). Join with a slip stitch.

Step 3: Working Up the Sides

Row 6: Chain 1, work 1 hdc into the back loop of each stitch around. (60 stitches). Join with a slip stitch.
Rows 7-9: Chain 1, work 1 hdc into both loops of each stitch around. (60 stitches). Join each round with a slip stitch.

Step 4: Final Increase and Body Rounds

Row 10: Chain 1, work 1 hdc into the next 9 stitches, then 2 hdc into the tenth stitch. Repeat around. (66 stitches). Join with a slip stitch.
Rows 11-15: Chain 1, work 1 hdc into each stitch around. (66 stitches). Join each round with a slip stitch.

Step 5: Finishing with the Crab Stitch (Reverse Single Crochet)

Final Round: Chain 1, and begin a reverse single crochet (crab stitch). Work into the stitch behind your working stitch without turning your work.
Technique Details: Insert the hook backwards into the stitch, making sure the hook is behind the yarn. Pull through, yarn over, and pull through both loops. Repeat around.
Finish: Join with a slip stitch into the first stitch. Chain 2 to secure, cut the yarn, and pull through to knot.
