Chainless Starting Double Crochet in Magic Circle
Chainless Starting Double Crochet (in a st)
NOTES:
- This square is made in rounds that are not turned.
- The first dc of each round is made using a CSDC, alternatively, you can substitute a ch-3 as the first dc.
- Each round will be completed by placing a sl st into the top of the beginning ch-3 OR the beginning CSDC to join.
- Each new round will begin in the joined st.
- Ch 1 is not considered the first sc on edging rows.
- Ch spaces are not considered sts.
- When doing ex-fpdc sts don’t work around the full post of the stitch. Instead, insert your hook behind the front two loops at the bottom of the post of the stitch.
