Materials Needed
All you need to get started are a crochet hook, yarn in your choice of colour, and a pair of scissors. You can use any type of yarn, but cotton yarn is recommended for its durability and absorbency. I use Paintbox Cotton Aran. It is a durable 100% yarn that comes in a huge range of colours.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Start by making a slip knot and chaining 4. Join to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet) and then work 11 double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the first double crochet.
3. Chain 2 and work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first double crochet.
4. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends with your crochet hook.
