Dear artsy craftsy friends,
The crocheted circle is a motif we have used in many patterns and projects, such as bases for purses and centers for square-shaped motifs or beginning tops for beanies and hats. It is a basic solid shape, besides the triangle, the square, the pentagon, the hexagon and the octagon. The circle is executed in rounds, the circle’s size is increased on each round. You can stop increasing the size of a circle at any point, at your choice. The circle’s size depends on the item you are trying to work. It also depends on the type of yarn and the crochet hook your are using. Hence, we put together the instructions on how to crochet the basic circle motif with 6 rounds. The images below showcase a medium-sized circle and a large circle used as the bottom-base of a crocheted market bag:
