The Pattern The instructions below are for a single circle, but you can stop
crocheting once you are happy with the size of your circle.

This circle is done in spiral rounds. Consider placing a Row 10: Sc 7, Inc, Sc 8, Inc, Sc 8, Inc, Sc 9, Inc, Sc 9,
stitch marker on the starting Sc of each row so that Inc, Sc 8, Inc, Sc 2. (63 St)
you don’t lose track of which row you’re working on. Row 11: Sc 5, Inc, Sc 8, Inc, Sc 9, Inc, Sc 10, Inc, Sc
To begin, Ch 2. 10, Inc, Sc 9, Inc, Sc 6. (69 St)
Row 1: 6 Sc in second chain from hook. (6 St) Row 12: Sc 1, Inc, Sc 11, Inc, Sc 10, Inc, Sc 10, Inc,
Row 2: 2 Sc in each stitch around. (12 St) Sc 11, Inc, Sc 11, Inc, Sc 9. (75 St)
Row 3: 2 Sc in next stitch. (2 Sc in next stitch. Sc Row 13: Sc 4, Inc, Sc 10, Inc, Sc 9, Inc, Sc 10, Inc, Sc
in next stitch.) Repeat () 4 more times. 2 Sc in 10, Inc, Sc 10, Inc, Sc 10, Inc, Sc 5. (82 St)
next stitch. (19 St) Row 14: Sc 12, Inc, Sc 12, Inc, Sc 12, Inc, Sc 14, Inc,
Row 4: (Sc in next 2 stitches. 2 Sc in next stitch.) Sc 13, Inc, Sc 13, Inc. (88 St)
Repeat () 5 more times. Sc in next stitch. (25 St) Row 15: Sc 8, Inc, Sc 13, Inc, Sc 14, Inc, Sc 13, Inc,
Row 5: Sc in next stitch. (2 Sc in next stitch. Sc in Sc 13, Inc, Sc 14, Inc, Sc 7. (94 St)
next 3 stitches.) Repeat () 5 more times. (31 St) Row 16: Sc 11, Inc, Sc 14, Inc, Sc 10, Inc, Sc 13, Inc,
Sc 13, Inc, Sc 12, Inc, Sc 11, Inc, Sc 3. (101 St)
For the following rows, these short forms have been Row 17: Sc 7, Inc, Sc 15, Inc, Sc 14, Inc, Sc 13, Inc,
used to keep things easier to read: Sc 15, Inc, Sc 17, Inc, Sc 14. (107 St)
Sc 3, Inc, Sc 4, Inc = “Sc in next 3 stitches. 2 Sc in Row 18: Sc 18, Inc, Sc 17, Inc, Sc 16, Inc, Sc 17, Inc,
next stitch (i.e. ‘Increase’). Sc in next 4 stitches. 2 Sc Sc 17, Inc, Sc 16, Inc. (113 St)
in next stitch.”
From this point on, dear reader, you venture into
Row 6: Sc 3, Inc, Sc 4, Inc, Sc 3, Inc, Sc 3, Inc, Sc 4, uncharted [Link] are going to have to decide
Inc, Sc 3, Inc, Sc 4, Inc. (38 St) where to place each increase in the remaining rows.
Row 7: Sc 5, Inc, Sc 5, Inc, Sc 6, Inc, Sc 5, Inc, Sc 6, I’ve indicated how many increases are needed for
Inc, Sc 5, Inc. (44 St) each row; just try to spread them out around each
Row 8: Sc 3, Inc, Sc 6, Inc, Sc 6, Inc, Sc 6, Inc, Sc 7, row and try not to place increases directly on top of
Inc, Sc 6, Inc, Sc 4. (50 St) an increase from a previous row, so that there are no
Row 9: Sc 5, Inc, Sc 7, Inc, Sc 6, Inc, Sc 6, Inc, Sc 7, pointy bits in your circle. Good luck!
