Instructions:

Step 1: Make a slip knot and chain 4. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Step 2: Round 1: Single crochet (sc) 12 times into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.

Step 3: Round 2: Chain 2 (counts as a dc), double crochet (dc) in each sc around. Join with a slip stitch to the first dc.

Step 4: Rounds 3-12: Repeat Round 2.

Step 5: Round 13: Chain 2, dc in the next dc, *chain 2, skip 2 dc, dc in the next dc*. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the first dc.
