Circle Crocheting Basics

Video Transcript

"Ok. What I've go so far is eleven columns around. Twelve is a good number for your base ring. And then go under one more time. Got to do those first two. And do the second two. It's just a basic double crochet. And we're going to connect the same way that a granny square does. We want to count up one, two, three. And you take it right there. Now when you do this, when you pull it through to connect you really want to make sure that your circle is pretty flat. You don't want it to be bowing out too much. If it does that means you may have too many columns. Twelve should be a good number. If you've got a heavier yarn and it's sticking out too much, take it down. Just go ahead and take a few out. Just work your way down. Try to stay in either multiples of three or two because that's how the pattern works as we expand on our circle. But, if this is too heavy, if it's bulking up or if it's wrinkling up like that, you want to go ahead and take a couple of columns out now before we get too far in our pattern. And then it's going to take a little bit more of your time. But twelve for this medium weight yarn is a good number for our base circle so it can continue."
