Supplies: Worsted weight yarn, H hook; package of rubber-centered hair bands.
Optional: package of smaller macramé beads (contrast color to yarn). Beads must be large enough to thread onto worsted weight yarn.
Round 1: Using the hair band as the center ring, double crochet until the ring is completely covered without overlapping stitches.
Round 2: Chain 3, 1 double crochet in each stitch to the beginning chain-3, join with slip stitch. End yarn.
For beading: thread beads onto yarn before Round 1. Work Rounds 1 & 2 without using beads. Do not end yarn. Work Round 3.
Round 3: *Chain 3, pull bead to hook, chain 3, skip next double crochet, 1 double crochet in following stitch,* repeat between ** until round is completed. Join to beginning stitch. End yarn.
The Crochet Guild of America expresses its utmost appreciation to the Craft Yarn Council of America (CYCA) for developing these materials on teaching children how to crochet and for allowing CGOA to post this information on our web site. These materials were developed by CYCA for participants in CYCA's Certified Instructors Program (CIP) and first distributed at the CYCA Certified Instructors Luncheon at CGOA's Chain Link crochet conference held August, 1999 in Bellevue, Washington. |
