Instructions:

Ribbed pattern 

We start work with green yarn and hook size 4,5 mm (US 7, UK 7)
Make 11 chains.
Row 1: skip chain and make single crochet stitch (SC) in each of the next 10 chains, Total 10 SCs.
Row 2: CH one and turn, make SC in the back loop only (SCBLO) in each of the next 10 stitches; Total 10 SCs
Rows 3 – 68: repeat Row 2
Total 68 rows = approximately 48 cm / 18.9 in
10 SCs = 7 cm / 2.6 in
Row multiple of 2 (because of the pattern we are going to do)
If you need a different size, make more or fewer rows or more or fewer stitches in the row.
Connect the first and the last row with slip stitches.
Now, We continue to work in a circle
Rnd 1: Chain and make SC one in every stitch across. One row one stitch (68 rows / 68 SCs).
Slip stitch to the first st just to close the round. Total 68 SCs.
Use hook Size 5 mm (US H/8, UK 6)
Rnd 2: CH 2 (don’t count as a loop), DC in every stitch across; Slip stitch to the first st just to close the round. Total 68 DCs.
Rnd 3: CH one and make SC in every stitch across. Slip stitch to the first st just to close the round. Total 68 SCs.
Rnd 4: CH 2 (don’t count as a loop), Skip the first stitch and make DC in the next stitch. Then, make DC in the skipped stitch work in front of the previous stitch. This is the crossed DC. Make crossed DC stitches to the end of the row. Slip stitch to the first st just to close the round.
Rnds 2 – 4 = Pattern
Repeat the pattern 2 times
Now we have a total of 7 rows.
Change color yarn (beige color of yarn)
Repeat the pattern 2 times
Now we have a total of 13 rows.
Change color yarn (green color of yarn)

Now we have a total of 16 rows.

In the next rows, we will decrease the number of stitches.
