Introduction
Magic Ring Chain
Making the Magic Ring
To start the magic ring chain, we need to make a magic ring and create six bubble stitches in it. Begin by making a double crochet stitch in the magic ring and not finishing it. Instead, move on to the next double crochet and finish both double crochets together. Chain two and continue with another bubble stitch. Repeat this process of one double crochet and one unfinished double crochet, chain two, and another bubble stitch until you have six bubble stitches in the magic ring.
Bubble Stitch in the Magic Ring
Once you have the six bubble stitches, close the magic ring by pulling the yarn tightly. Make the last chain two and create a slip stitch with the first bubble stitch.
Increase in Round Number Two
In the second round, we need to make one increase. Start with a chain three and make a bubble stitch in the space before the chain three. This bubble stitch is the first part of the increase. Move to the next space and make another increase. An increase means making two bubble stitches in the same space. So, make the first bubble stitch, chain two, and then make another bubble stitch in the same space. Repeat this process of one bubble stitch, chain two, and another bubble stitch for each increase.
Increase in Round Number Three
In the third round, continue with the chain three and make the first part of the last increase on the previous space of the chain three. Make a bubble stitch, chain two, and in this round, make one bubble stitch and one increase. Repeat the process of one bubble stitch, chain two, and one bubble stitch for each increase until the end of the row.
Increase in Round Number Four
In the fourth round, start with a chain three and make two bubble stitches and one increase. The first part of the last increase should be made on the previous space of the chain three. Repeat the process of two bubble stitches and one increase until the end of the row.
Rows with no Increases
After completing the required number of increase rounds, we need to make some rows with no increases. These rows help maintain the width of the head. Start each row with a chain three and make one bubble stitch on the previous space of the chain three. Then, make one bubble stitch on each subsequent space. Repeat this process for the specified number of rows.
Decreases
To reach the width of the head, we need to make decreases. Start with a chain three and make the first bubble stitch on the next space after the chain three. Then, make one decrease. To make a decrease, make the first double crochet on the next space but do not finish it. Instead, continue with the next double crochet and finish both double crochets together. Repeat the process of four bubble stitches and one decrease until the end of the row. Finish the row with a slip stitch with the first bubble stitch.
Rows with no Decreases
After completing the decrease rows, you can continue making rows with no decreases. These rows are made by making one bubble stitch on each bubble stitch of the previous row. Repeat this process for the specified number of rows.
Net of Double Crochet
To add a net-like texture, we can create a row of double crochet stitches. Start with a chain three and make one double crochet on each bubble stitch and chain two space. Repeat this process until the end of the row. Close with a slip stitch.
Elastic Stitch
For elasticity, we can create two rows of elastic stitch. Start with a chain three and make one back post double crochet, one front post double crochet, and repeat this pattern to the end of the row. Repeat the same for the second row. This adds stretchiness to the project.
