Round 1

Chain 1: This does not count as a stitch.
Make 8 half double crochet stitches (hdc) into the loop. Ignore the initial chain 1; it doesn't count as a stitch.

Round 2

Chain 1: This doesn't count as a stitch.
Make 2 hdc in each stitch around. You will end up with 16 hdc stitches in total.

For Round 3

Chain 1: This doesn't count as a stitch.
Pattern Repeat: 1 hdc in the first stitch, then 2 hdc in the next stitch. Repeat around. End with 24 hdc stitches.

Round 4

Chain 1: This doesn’t count as a stitch.
Pattern Repeat: 2 hdc in the first stitch, then 1 hdc in each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat around. You should now have 32 hdc stitches.

Rounds 5-9

Chain 1 at the beginning of each round. This does not count as a stitch.
Work 1 hdc in each stitch around. No increases. Each of these rounds will maintain at 32 hdc stitches.

Rounds 10 & 11 (Creating the Ribbed Edge)

Chain 1: Does not count as a stitch.

Front Post Half Double Crochet (FPhdc): Yarn over, insert your hook from the front to the back to the front again around the post of the hdc from the previous round, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through all three loops on your hook.
Back Post Half Double Crochet (BPhdc): Yarn over, insert your hook from the back to the front to the back again around the post of the hdc from the previous round, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through all three loops.
Alternate FPhdc and BPhdc around for Ribbing Effect. Repeat for rounds 10 and 11.

Finishing Touches

After completing the final round (Round 11), chain 1 and cut the yarn, leaving a tail long enough to weave in.
Use the tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends.
