Materials Needed

• Yarn: Recycled cotton or t-shirt yarn
• Hook: Size 10mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. Round 1:
   • Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slipping stitch (sl st) into the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 12 dc in total.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Make 2 dc in each stitch around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should have 24 dc now.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the next stitch.
   • Make 2 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 2 stitches.
   • Make 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should have 48 dc.
6. Continue Increasing:
   • Keep increasing in this manner, adding 1 more dc between increases each round until the rug reaches your desired size.
7. Create the Wave Texture:
   • Switch to a shell stitch pattern: *5 dc in one stitch, skip 2 stitches, single crochet (sc) in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches; repeat from * around.
8. Finish the Rug:
   • Complete with a round of single crochet to create a neat edge.
   • Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Your Ocean Waves Rug is now complete! Enjoy the cozy, beachy feel it brings to your home.
