Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Serenity Spiral Yoga Mat Strap:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Hold the yarn in your hand and wrap it around your fingers to create a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
   • Yarn over again and pull through the first loop on your hook to secure the magic ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2:
   • Increase in each stitch around: 2 sc in each of the 6 stitches (total of 12 stitches).
4. Round 3:
   • Work *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch* and repeat around (total of 18 stitches).
5. Round 4:
   • Work *1 sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* and repeat around (total of 24 stitches).
6. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue to increase in this manner until the diameter of the spiral reaches 3 inches.
7. Work Even:
   • Once the spiral reaches 3 inches, work even in single crochet for 10 rounds to create the strap's width.
8. Strap Length:
   • Continue working in single crochet until the strap measures 60 inches long.
9. Finishing:
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
   • Attach a button to one end of the strap.
   • Create a loop on the other end to secure the mat when wrapped.
