Ideal Circle

The circle is made in single crochet and is worked in spiral rounds (from the inside to the outside). I’ve also made sure that it has the correct number of stitches in each row to make it a mathematically ‘ideal’ circle.

You can use this pattern but crochet in rows instead of spiral rounds to achieve a concentric circle look. After row 1, slip stitch to the very first Sc. Chain 1 to begin the next row (this starting chain 1 stitch becomes the first stitch of the next row). Follow the pattern around and finish by slip stitching to that starting chain 1 stitch. Depending on how you want your circle to look, you could even turn the piece after your starting chain 1 stitch on each row so that the stitches alternate from facing back to facing front. If you do it this way, you will have a little seam running up your circle.

You could use this pattern to make coasters, an applique, placemats or anything you can think of!
