Steps

Start with a Magic Circle:

Leave a little bit of a tail end.
Create a magic circle by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling it through, making a loop.

Chain [Ch] 3:

After forming the magic circle, chain 3 times.

Create Double Crochets [DC]:

Make 12 double crochets into the magic circle.
To make a double crochet: Yarn over, insert your hook into the circle, yarn over again and pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops.

Close the First Round:

Pull the tail end tight to close the circle.
Join with a slip stitch in the third chain of the beginning chain-3.

Start the Second Round – Ch 2:

Chain 2 to start the next round. This chain does not count as a stitch.

Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC):

Yarn over, insert your hook around the post of the next stitch from front to back to front.
Complete double crochet.

Double Crochet in Space Between Stitches:

Yarn over, insert your hook into the space between the posts of the previous round’s stitches and complete a double crochet.

Repeat – Increase Round:

Continue alternating FPDC and a DC in the spaces between the posts around the circle.
Join with a slip stitch at the beginning.

Next Rounds – Increasing the Number of DC per Space:

For each new round, increase the number of DC made in each gap (e.g., 3 DC in the next round, 4 DC in the round after that, etc.).
Always make an FPDC around each previous FPDC.

Final Round Considerations:

Continue increasing the number of DCs in each space until the desired size is reached.
Make a slip stitch to finish the round.

Adding a Hanging Loop (Optional):

If you want to add a loop for hanging, after completing the final round, chain a number of stitches (e.g., 10).
Join the chain back to the starting point with a slip stitch.
Chain 1 and fasten off.
