   • Work 11 half double crochets into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the chain 2. You should have a total of 12 half double crochets.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 2.
   • Work 2 half double crochets in each stitch around.
   • Join with a slip stitch. You should have 24 half double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 2.
   • *Half double crochet in the next stitch, 2 half double crochets in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around.
   • Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 half double crochets now.
5. Round 4:
   • Chain 2.
   • *Half double crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 half double crochets in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around.
   • Join with a slip stitch. You should have 48 half double crochets at the end of this round.
6. Rounds 5-12:
   • For each of these rounds, chain 2 and work half double crochet in each stitch around.
   • Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round.
   • Continue this until you have completed 12 rounds total.
