Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Magic Ring Foundation

Make a magic ring.
Leave a tail long enough for finishing later.

2. Round 1

Ch 1.
Crochet 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring.
Tighten ring and join with slip stitch (sl st).

3. Round 2

Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
Work another dc in the same st.
Work 2 dc in each st around (16 dc total).
Join with sl st to third ch of starting ch-3.

4. Round 3

Ch 3 (first dc), ch 2 (space).
Dc in next st, ch 2. Repeat around.
Join with sl st to third ch of beginning ch-3.

5. Round 4

Sl st to first space.
Ch 3 (first dc), 2 dc in same space.
In next space: 3 dc. Repeat in every ch-2 space around.
Join with sl st to third ch of beginning ch-3.

6. Round 5

Sl st to space between groups.
Ch 3 (first dc), ch 4 (space).
Dc in next space between groups, ch 4. Repeat around.
Join with sl st to third ch.

7. Round 6

Sl st to first ch-4 space.
Ch 3 (dc), then 4 more dc (5 dc total) in the space.
Repeat: 5 dc in every ch-4 space around.
Join with sl st to third ch.

8. Continue Increasing Rounds

Alternate between rounds of spaces (ch chains between dc) and rounds of grouped dc (increase group size by one per space—e.g. 7 dc into ch-6, 9 dc into ch-8, etc.).
Add 2 chains to each space round as the motif increases, and add one dc to each group round.
Continue expanding until desired size is reached (transcript example reaches motif of 15 dc into ch-14 space, approx. 37cm diameter).

9. Edge Rounds

Work rounds of: (dc, ch 2, dc) in every second st, skipping two sts each time for a simple lacy edge.
Optional: Fan edge of [3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc] in each V-space, with sc in next V-space.

10. Finishing

For polypropylene: Weave in ends with tapestry needle, then carefully melt the tail end with the base of a lighter flame and press with a tool (not fingers!) to seal.
For cotton: Weave in all tails securely.

Conclusion

Enjoy your shiny, durable round motif as a beautiful addition to your home, or create several for table sets and gifts. The project is easy, fast, and adds an elegant touch to any space.

Tip:
When working with polypropylene, always use the base of the flame for finishing and avoid direct contact—this ensures a neat, secure end without damaging the motif.
