How to Crochet Around Both Sides of the Chain

When you want to create more of an oval/oblong look than a circle you will need to crochet on both sides of the chain.

In order to do this you start with a basic chain. For this tutorial I used a chain of 11.

You then sc in the 2nd chain from the hook.

You follow the instructions, in this case, sc around with increase or 2sc in each end stitch.

In order to do this, sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, 8sc, 2sc in next (this is the end stitch), (11sc at this point), then you continue on the opposite side of the chain, another 8sc, and 1sc in the last (this is the original 2nd chain from the hook so there will be a total of 2sc in it). This brings your final round count to 20.

Your round includes both sides, all 20sc and you place your stitch marker at the end of the 20th sc and before your next.

You have now crocheted around both sides of the chain.

Hope this helps!
