Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Start the Magic Ring

Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
Pull tail tight to close the ring.

Round 3: 2 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st, repeat around (24 sts).
Round 4: 1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, repeat around (30 sts).

Pattern Note:
If you want a larger bauble, continue increasing (e.g., 1 sc in next ⅘ sts, 2 sc in next st, etc.)

3. Straight Rounds

Next 6 rounds: 1 sc in each stitch (keep 30 sts).
Always move your marker up to keep track of the rounds.

Round 2: 1 sc in next 2 sts, invisible decrease, repeat around.
Round 3: 1 sc in next st, invisible decrease, repeat around.

Add silicone fiber or pillow stuffing as you close the rounds.
Stuff firmly for a perfect shape.

6. Final Decreases and Closing
