Instructions: Step 1: Start with a Slip Knot and Chain 4 Make a slip knot and place it on your crochet hook. Chain 4 (ch 4). Step 2: Form a Ring Join the chain into a ring by making a slip stitch (sl st) into the first chain. Step 3: Work the First Round Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Make 11 more double crochets (dc) into the ring. You should have 12 double crochets in total, including the chain 3 at the beginning. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3.
