Step-by-Step Instructions

🍽 

Step 1: Foundation Circle (White Center)

1. Begin with a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 12 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Slip stitch to close.
3. Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as dc), then do 2 dc in each stitch around (total 24 dc).
4. Round 3: (1 dc, 2 dc in next stitch) repeat around. End with slip stitch.
5. Your center should now be a flat, even circle.

Step 2: Looped Edge (Pink Yarn)

1. Join pink yarn in any stitch.
2. (Chain 12, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch) to form large loops around the edge.
3. Continue this pattern around the entire circle.
4. On the next round, secure each loop with single crochets or slip stitches into the base.
5. Optional: Add a second row of loops or decorative picots for more volume.
