Crochet circle pattern

Crochet Circle Pattern

I have been trying my own crochet circle pattern as I didn't like the look of the ones with the seams. And not crazy about the spiral circles. I came up with these:

So here is the pattern {pls note I am new to crochet and I hope that you can understand the pattern!

Crochet circle pattern
(any yarn, any hook -for these i used a size 3.25hook)

round 1
Ch 6, join with sl st to form a ring
9 dc into ring sl st to first chain

round 2
start with new color,
ch 1
* sc into 1st ch st
dc into same ch st*

repeat from * to * all the way around the circle.
Join with sl st to first ch.

Round 3
(repeat the same as in round 2)

Round 4
change color
ch 1
* sc into ch
dc into next ch*
repeat all the way around the circle

round 5 and up
keep going with a sc into a ch and a dc into the next ch.

If it starts to curl, you need to increase st again by sc AND dc into each ch for a round.

I like this one cos you battle to see the seams.

Hope you enjoyxx

Hi Bon, firstly, love the new blog background! secondly, love your crochet!! i love the colours! I trying to get to grips with granny squares and stripes at the moment, and I'm getting immensely frustrated!! I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong!! but like the flowers, I'm sure I'll get it eventually!
Hope you're having a good busy week, and have a good time when you meet up with your crafting friends! (wish I could be there too!)
Love Em Xx

Thanks for the pattern Bonnie! I also wasn;t wild about the seams in my circles- so glad you figured it out. Am definitely going to try this!

PS - It was so fun for me to find you in the Ideas Magazine. (I bought it just before we went on holiday). I was reading along when I saw your pics of your scrapbooking goodies and thought, 'Gee, those look familiar!' Then I remembered they were yours before seeing your name. My all-time favourite magazine too - can't wait for each issue!
