          \u2705 Step 1: Create the Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Start with a magic ring<\/strong>
          Or chain 4 and slip stitch to form a ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Round 1:<\/strong>
          Ch 2 (counts as dc), work 11 dc into ring. Join with sl st to top of ch-2.
          [12 dc total]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          \u2705 Step 2: Increase the Circle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Round 2:<\/strong>
          Ch 2, 2 dc in each stitch around. Join.

          Ch 1, sc in next stitch, ch 3, sl st into first ch (picot made), skip next stitch<\/em>; repeat around. Join and fasten off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
