Using the Tunisian crochet is one of my favorite ways to create a circle. It creates a lovely design and best part is you don’t have to do all that counting! I love using this circle for making coasters and placemats. <br />________________________<br />The Tunisian circle is made by crocheting a series of short and long rows around the stitches on the magic ring, which are then seamed together. <br /><br />ADJUSTING SIZE:<br />- The size of the circle can be adjusted by adding adding stitches to the long and short rows.<br />If your circle doesn’t lay flat you may need to add or remove some sc sts from the ring, which will increase/decrease number of long+short rows (short rows should be half the length of the long rows)<br /><br />- Number of long+short rows, at the end, will be determined by the number of single crochet stitches you add to the magic ring in the beginning. The total should be: 2 times the number of stitches in the ring, plus 2.<br />example: if you start with 8 single crochet stitches, the final row count will be 18 long and 18 short ( 2 x 8 + 2 = 18 )
