Chain 4, skip the next stitch, and then work a single crochet stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around the entire round.
For the next round, work a chain-3 loop into the chain-4 space from the previous round. Then work a single crochet stitch into the next single crochet stitch from the previous round. Repeat this pattern around the entire round.
For the next round, work a chain-6 loop into the chain-3 loop from the previous round. Then work a single crochet stitch into the next single crochet stitch from the previous round. Repeat this pattern around the entire round.
For the final round, work a chain-12 loop into the chain-6 loop from the previous round. Then work a single crochet stitch into the next single crochet stitch from the previous round. Repeat this pattern around the entire round.
Fasten off and weave in any loose ends with your tapestry needle.
