PATTERN
This pattern uses UK crochet terms. Note: To work the base ring either work a chain of 8 stitches and join with a slip stitch OR make a magic loop of 8 stitches (one of our favourite crochet teachers, Raynor, has an instructional video on the magic ring- you'll find him as The Shy Lion on Youtube). If using the magic ring, don't pull completely closed, as you'll be working stitches into the centre of the ring. For easier finishing, be sure to crochet in ends as you g0.
