- Chain 1, double crochet repeat until you have 12 double crochets and 11 chain-1 spaces.
- Close the Round: Pull the magic ring tight and make a single crochet into the third chain of the beginning chain 4.
Pull the end tail to close the magic ring, and form 12 double crochets. - Subsequent Rounds:
