Make one chain stitch, two single crochet stitches in the next stitch of the previous row.In the second row a total of 12 single crochet stitches will appear, therefore twice as many as in the first. In each stitch of the previous row, crochet two single crochet stitches. Make one chain stitch and then insert the crochet hook into the same place and crochet a single crochet stitch.Crochet six single crochet stitches through the middle of the loop, joining it with a slip stitch.Three or four chain stitches are enough to create a foundation loop.
#CIRCULAR CROCHET CHART HOW TO#
In both of these situations we get a loop around which you need to crochet several foundation stitches which create the base of the circle closed at its center.Īs an example, we will follow how to make a simple ring from single crochet stitches. We may begin the piece by making a magic ring or closing a chain with a slip stitch. If the number of added stitches is too big or too small in the next row, the piece will not remain flat but wavy. In order that the circle remains flat, you need to apply a universal mathematical formula when widening the crochet piece in subsequent rows. Finish each row with a slip stitch, producing concentric rows of circles.With a chain joined into a ring with the aid of a slip stitch.It is easiest to explain the rule of crocheting in the round by using the example of a flat circle. Thanks to the planned addition or no addition of stitches in appropriate places, we can easily make a basket, for example. Start with 1 blue sc, follow the chart and end with a copper sc.Ĭrochet 1 blue sc and 3 blue slip stitches, fasten off and weave in the ends.Crocheting in the round allows one to create two and three dimensional forms – it depends on the skillful widening of the crochet piece. Start with 1 blue sc, follow the chart and end with a copper sc. (Crochet the first 2sc in the last copper stitch of the previous round). This is again a round where you have to increase 16 times.Ĭrochet 3x 2 blue sc. End with 2 copper sc in one copper stitch. Start with 1blue sc (1 blue sc lapses, only in the beginning of this round, green B), follow the chart. Start with 2 blue sc into blue stitch (1 stitch is extra, it’s not on the chart), follow the chart. (48)įollow the chart, start with a blue sc. This is the round where you have to increase 16 times.Ģ blue sc into first stitch (1 stitch is extra, it’s not on the chart, red A), 1 blue sc (finish stitch with linen). (24sc)Ģ blue sc into first stitch (finish stitch with linen) and follow chart, end with a copper sc. End the round with a copper stitch (finish in each round the copper sc with blue). (8sc)Ĭrochet with blue the first sc into the first sc of the previous round. Crochet 2 sc in each stitch (16sc).Ģ blue sc into first stitch (finish stitch with linen), crochet 1 sc with linen (finish stitch with blue), follow chart. Make a slip knot with copper, chain 2. Crochet in the first chain 7 sc (dc UK), crochet 1 sc and finish this stitch with blue. I describe below the beginning and sometimes the end of each round. The white dots are the last stitches of each round. I have made red marks, that are the first stitches from a new round. There you have to crochet 2 sc in 1 sc from the previous round. The places where you have to increase are marked with black V signs. That’s why this chart has not in each round a 4 times repeat.įollow the chart, pay attention to the following: It is typical for tapestry crochet that you have sometimes a ‘break’ in the pattern.īy a little manipulation of stitches/increases you sometimes can avoid that. Never join a previous round, but just go on.Įvery round you have to increase 8 sc and in some rounds 16 sc. I prefer round 5 and 9. I used a crochet hook G-6 USA / 8 UK / 4mm.Ĭrochet sc (dc UK) in the back loop only from the stitches of the previous round. I have made this round base with Catania Grande in de colours: blue, copper and linen. The wrong choice can make your work fluffy or puffy. It’s important that you choose the right hook according to your yarn. And sometimes you also want to integrate a motif.īased on the following photo’s and chart I’m going to explain to you how I get a nice round shape with tapestry crochet. To be sure that this round shape will look good, you must increase at equal distances, without getting corners or bubbles. To get a round shape, you need to increase.
