Single Crochet : Sc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (2 lps on hk); yo, draw through both lps. One sc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/ghACqBpA-3k Start Round 1 : with a magic circle and work 16 sc in it. Join with a sl-st to the 1st st.
Note : As my yarn is super fine, I've started with 16 hdc
Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk);
[yo, draw through 2 lps] twice. One dc made.
Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.
Round 2 : dc in the 1st st ;
(ch 3, dc in the next st) ;
rep (to) all around ;
dc and join to the 1st st with a sl-st.
Note : In ending with the dc + sl-st we are in the middle of that last ch-3 sp.
In case you find this confusing, please end with ch 3 and join with sl-st to finish. Then to start the next round, please sl-st till the centre of the 1st ch-3 sp.
Round 3 : sc in the 1st ch-3 sp ;
(ch 5, sc in the next ch-3 sp) ;
rep (to) all around ;
ch 2 + dc and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
Note : In ending with the ch 2 + dc + sl-st we are in the middle of that last ch-3 sp.
In case you find this confusing, please end with ch 5 and join with sl-st to finish.
Round 4 : (3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-5 sp ;
*sc in the next ch-5 sp ; rep (to) in the next ch-5 sp* ;
rep *to* all around ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
How to work a picot stitch : Traditionally for a ch-3 picot, you work (ch 3, sl-st in 3rd ch from hook). For a ch-5 picot, you will do (ch 5, sl-st in 5th ch from hook).
Here’s a great video https://youtu.be/8s3zVaBcn4s
We will work a ch-3 picot in the middle of the ch sp. So work ch 6 to start, then work in picot in the 3rd st from hook and work another ch-3 before working the dc's. Got it?
Round 5 : sl-st past the 1st 2 dc ; dc in the next dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;

*{ch 1 + picot + ch 1} , sk next 2 dc, dc in the next dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the next ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next dc* ;
rep *to* all around ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
Round 6 : sl-st past the 1st 2 dc ; dc in the next dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next dc ;
*{ch 2 + picot + ch 2} , sk next 2 dc, dc in the next dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the next ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next dc* ;
rep *to* all around ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
Round 7 : sl-st past the 1st 2 dc ; dc in the next 2 dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;

dc in the next 2 dc* ;
rep *to* all around ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st

(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next 3 dc ;
*{ch 2 + picot + ch 2} , sk next 2 dc, dc in the next 3 dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the next ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next 3 dc* ;
rep *to* all around ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
Round 9 : sl-st past the 1st 2 dc ; dc in the next 4 dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;

dc in the next 5 dc* ;
rep *to* all around ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
Round 11 : sl-st past the 1st 2 dc ; dc in the next 6 dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next 6 dc ;
*ch 13, sk next 2 dc, dc in the next 6 dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the next ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next 6 dc* ;
rep *to* all around ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
In the following round, we will work sc all around - in each st and in all ch-sp
Round 12 : sc in the 1st 9 dc ;
(3 sc in the next ch-3 sp ; sc in the next 9 dc ;
13 sc in the next ch-14 sp ; sc in the next 9 dc)* ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
In the following round, we will work in the centre st of the ch-13 sp (so you can go ahead and mark the 7th st there) and the centre st of the ch-3 sp between the 9-dc sets (so go ahead and mark that st too).
This is simpler than counting sts each time - but do whatever suits you.
Round 13 : sl-st past the 1st 10 sc ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc all in the next sc) ;

(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the same 1st ch-3 sp ;
*ch 3, 9 sc in the next ch-11 sp ;
ch 3, rep (to) in the next ch-3 sp* ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
Round 15 : sl-st into the 1st ch-3 sp ;
(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the same 1st ch-3 sp ;
*ch 5, sc in the next sc ;
[ch 3, sk next sc, sc in the next sc] ;
rep [to] 3 times ;
ch 5, rep (to) in the next ch-3 sp* ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st

(3 dc ; ch 3, 3 dc) all in the same 1st ch-3 sp ;
*ch 9, sc in the next ch-3 sp ;

dc in the next 3 dc ;
ch 9, rep (to) in the next ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next 3 dc* ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st
In our final round we will work a ch-3 picot once again. This time we will work in the ch-3 sp between the 6-dc sets.
You could choose to add a bead at this point. In that case you will work (3 dc ; ch 1 + bead + ch 1, 3 dc) instead of the picot.
Round 19 : dc in the 1st 6 dc ;
(3 dc ; ch 1 + picot + ch 1, 3 dc) all in the 1st ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next 3 dc ;
*ch 9, sc in the next ch-3 sp ;
[ch 3, sc in the same ch-3 sp] ;
dc in the next 6 dc ;
ch 9, rep (to) in the next ch-3 sp ;
dc in the next 6 dc* ;
and join to the 1st st with a sl-st.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
