CROCHET IN THE ROUND
After the first round of treble stitches, your ring
should look similar to this (see right). To work
the second round and more rounds, make the
turning chain (3ch for treble), then work the
stitches into the tops of the stitches on the first
round below, as you do in rows. To make flat
shapes, like this flower (see far right), you’ll be
asked to increase stitches (more on this later).
At the end of each round, join to the first stitch
with a slip stitch.Continue working in rounds to create interesting motifs
HOW TO WORK MORE ROUNDS
1
Make a basic foundation ring and don’t turn
the work. Make three turning chains for
treble crochet (this counts as a stitch). To start
your first treble crochet stitch, work yrh and
insert hook into the centre of the ring.3
Work more treble crochet stitches in the
same way (inserting hook into the centre of
the ring), as instructed in your pattern, pushing
the stitches closer if you need to.2
Work yarn round hook and pull yarn through
the centre of the foundation ring (three
loops on hook). Finish the stitch as usual (yrh,
pull through first two loops, yrh, pull through
remaining two loops).4
After the last stitch, insert hook into the top
chain of the turning chain at the start of the
round. Work a slip stitch (yrh, pull through both
loops).If you’re left-handed, follow these steps to work the first round of treble crochet...
