Pattern Instructions

work in the round, without turning or closing the round

stitches contained within ** are the repeat section for that row

this pattern contains the first 4 rows, but you can make it as big as you like by continuing to increase the stitches in the same manner as you would with a circle.

TIP: make this oval longer by increasing the number of chains you make at the beginning

Starting Chain: make a slip knot and ch5

Row 1: 3sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2chs, 3sc in the last ch, turn your work around (the stitches you just made are at the bottom), we will work on the other side of the chain, sc in next 2ch = 10

Row 2: *2sc in next 3sts, sc in next 2sts* x 2 = 16

Row 3: *(2sc in next st, sc in next st) x 3, sc in next 2sts* x 2 = 22

Row 4: *(2sc in next st, sc in next 2sts) x 3, sc in next 2sts* x 2

Repeat row 4 increasing the number of single crochet between increases (the 2sc in the same stitch you make on either side of the oval) until you have the size you want.
