PATTERN
1: Work 6 sc in a magic ring [6]

3: (Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) rep 6 times [18]
4-5: Sc in each st around
Cut the yarn leaving a short tail for sewing. Make another piece just like the previous one by repeating rounds 1-5. Do not cut the yarn as we will continue using the yarn of the second piece.
6: Crochet the pieces together. Work 9 sc on the second piece, 18 sc around the first piece and again 9 sc on the second piece [36]. Sew the hole between the two pieces closed.
7: Sc in each st around
