Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Hold the ring between your fingers, ensuring it is secure for the next steps.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the top of the initial chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3 (counts as your first dc).
   • In the same stitch, make 1 dc.
   • Make 2 dc in each stitch around the circle.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should now have 24 dc.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 3 (counts as your first dc).
   • In the next stitch, make 1 dc.
   • *Make 2 dc in the next stitch, then 1 dc in the following stitch.* Repeat from * to * around the circle.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should have 36 dc.
5. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue this pattern of increasing by adding one more dc between increases for each subsequent round until your rug reaches your desired size.
   • Remember to join each round with a sl st to the top of the chain 3.
6. Creating the Scalloped Edge:
   • Once you reach your desired size, it's time to add the scalloped edge.
   • *Skip 1 stitch, then make 5 dc in the next stitch, skip 1 stitch, and slip stitch in the next stitch.* Repeat this pattern around the entire edge of the rug.
7. Finishing Up:
   • Once you complete the scalloped edge, fasten off the yarn by cutting it and pulling it through the last loop.
   • Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle to secure your work.

Congratulations! You have now created your very own Elegant Round Crochet Rug. Enjoy the cozy touch it brings to your home!
