Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the center of your mandala.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Next, make 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the next stitch. Now, *2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should have 36 dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the next stitch. Now, *2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 48 dc.
6. Round 5: Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the next 2 stitches. Now, *2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next 3 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should have 60 dc.
7. Round 6: Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the next 3 stitches. Now, *2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next 4 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 72 dc.
8. Finish Up: Once you have completed Round 6, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. Your Elegant Crochet Mandala Coaster is now complete!
