Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the red yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the center of your mat.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. You should have 6 stitches in total.
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You should have 12 stitches now.
4. Round 3: Ch 1, then (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a sl st. You should have 18 stitches.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing by adding one more single crochet stitch between increases for each subsequent round until you reach a total of 84 stitches. This will create a nice, flat circle.
6. Change to Orange Yarn: Switch to orange yarn and work 2 rounds even in single crochet (sc). Do not increase; just work 1 sc in each stitch around.
7. Change to Yellow Yarn: Switch to yellow yarn and work 2 rounds even in sc.
8. Change to Green Yarn: Switch to green yarn and work 2 rounds even in sc.
9. Change to Blue Yarn: Switch to blue yarn and work 2 rounds even in sc.
10. Change to Indigo Yarn: Switch to indigo yarn and work 2 rounds even in sc.
11. Change to Violet Yarn: Switch to violet yarn and work 2 rounds even in sc.
