Sc around hair tie 32 times.  Join with a sl st to 1st sc.  

Ch 1, sc in same stitch.  Ch 3, *skip next sc, sc in next sc, ch 3.  Repeat from * around.  

Join with a sl st to 1st sc.  Sl st in 1st ch3 loop.

(Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in same ch3 loop.

 

*Skip next ch3 loop, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next loop.  Repeat from * around.  

 Join with a sl to to top ch of beginning ch 3.

Sl st in next dc, ch 3.  Dc in next dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the ch2 space.  Dc in next 2 dc.   

Skip next 2 dc.  Dc in next 2 dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the ch2 space  Dc in the next 2 dc.  

Repeat all the way around. 

Join as before.  

Sl st in next dc.  Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in ch2 loop, dc in next 3 dc.  Skip next 2 dc.

   

*Dc in next 3 dc, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in ch2 loop, dc in next 3 dc,  skip next 2 dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before. 

Repeat the last round increasing the number of dc's on the sides.  

I have wracked my brain trying to come up with an easier way to explain this, and I can only come up with this:

Keep in mind that at the beginning of each Rnd, the ch 3 counts as a dc.

Rnd 6: dc in 5 dc's, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc), dc in next 5 dc's

Rnd 7: dc in 6 dc's, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc), dc in next 6 dc's

And so on.  The number of dc's will increase by one on each Rnd.

10 or 11 Rnds make a nice size lovey.

- beginning shell:  (ch3, dc, ch 2, 2 dc)

- shell:  (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)

Directions:
Rnd 1:  With pink ch 3, work 12 dc in 3rd ch from hook.  Join with a sl st to the 1st dc.  (12 dc)

Rnd 2:  Beginning cluster in same dc as joining st, ch 2.  * cluster in next dc, ch 2.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to beginning cluster.

Rnd 3:  Ch 1, sc in same beginning cluster as joining st, ch 2, sc in ch-2 space, ch 2, sc in next cluster.  *ch 2, sc in ch-2 space, ch 2, sc in next cluster.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to 1st sc.

Rnd 4:  Ch 1, sl st into next ch-2 space, ch 1, sc in same ch-2 space, ch 2.  *sc in next ch-2 space, ch 2.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.  End off.

Rnd 5:  Join green with a sl st to any ch-2 space, beginning shell in same ch-2 space, skip next ch-2 space, *shell in next ch-2 space, skip next ch-2 space.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.

Rnd 6:  Ch 1, sc in same st as joining st, sc in each dc around with (sc, ch 1, sc) in each shell ch-2 space.  Join with a sl st to 1st sc.  End off.

~ comfy slippers ~

Materials:
- 3 oz. 4-ply worsted weight acrylic (these slippers were crocheted with Bernat 'winter sky')
- small amount contrasting color 4-ply worsted weight acrylic
- J hook

Size:  these are a size 7 - to make smaller or larger:  leave off or add dc rows on the back foot part before Row 21 - then work Row 21 as the last row.

Notes:
- I crochet tight, so you may need to adjust the size of your crochet hook
- the ch 2 at the beginning of Rnds 1 through 11 do not count as a stitch

Directions:
Rnd 1:  Ch 3, work 12 dc in the 3rd ch from the hook.  Join with a sl st to 1st dc.  (12 dc)

Rnd 2:  Ch 2, 2 dc in same dc as joining st, dc in next dc.  *2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.  (18 dc)

Rnd 3:  Ch 2, 2 dc in same dc as joining st, dc in next 2 dc.  *2 dc in next dc, dc in next 2 dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.  

Rnd 4:  Ch 2, 2 dc in same dc as joining st, dc in next 3 dc.  *2 dc in next dc, dc in next 3 dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.

Rnds 5 - 11:  Ch 2, dc in same dc as joining st, dc in each dc around.  Join as before.

Row 12:  Ch 3, dc in next 21 dc.  Turn.  (22 dc)

Rows 13 - 20:  Ch 3, dc in each dc across.  Turn.

Row 21:  Ch 3, dc in next 7 dc, hdc in next dc, sc in next 4 dc, hdc in next dc, dc in last 8 dc.  End off leaving a long tail.  

Fold last row in half and matching stitches, whipstitch together.

With a contrasting color:  make a chain about 23" long - start in the front of the slipper and weave through the dc stitches, then weave through the dc's and ch 3's around the ankle of the slipper.  Put slipper on - pull a little tight - tie into a bow.

~ rippling shells ~

Materials:
- 4-ply worsted weight acrylic
- J hook

Notes: 
- the ch 2 at the beginning of Rnds 1, 2 and 3 do not count as a st
- beginning shell = (ch 3, dc, ch 2, 2 dc)
- shell = (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)
- v-st = (dc, ch 2, dc)

Directions:
Rnd 1:  Ch 3, work 12 dc in the 3rd ch from the hook.  Join with a sl st to 1st dc.  (12 dc)

Rnd 2:  Ch 2, 2 dc in same dc as the joining st, 2 dc in each dc around.  Join as before.  (24 dc)

Rnd 3:  Ch 2, 2 dc in same dc as the joining st, dc in next dc.  *2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.  (36 dc)  

Rnd 4:  Ch 1, sc in same dc as the joining st, sc in next dc.  *ch 2, sc in each of the next 2 dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to the 1st sc.

  
Rnd 5:  Sl st into next sc, sl st into ch-2 space, work beginning shell in same ch-2 space,  v-st in next ch-2 space.  *shell in next ch-2 space, v-st in next ch-2 space.  Repeat from * around.  Join with a sl st to top of beginning ch 3.  

Rnd 6:  Sl st into next dc, sl st into ch-2 space of shell, beginning shell in same ch-2 space, shell in next v-st.  *shell in next shell, shell in next v-st.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.

Rnd 7:  Sl st into next dc, ch 3, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc.  *dc in next dc, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.

Rnd 8:  Sl st into next dc, ch 3, dc in next dc, shell in ch-2 space, dc into next 2 dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc.  *dc in next 2 dc, shell in ch-2 space, dc in next 2 dc, skip next 3 dc, shell in next shell, skip next 3 dc.  Repeat from * around.  Join as before.

Repeat Rnd 8 increasing the number of dc by 1 on the sides of the ripple points on each succeeding Rnd.  The shell points will remain shells.
