    • Chain 1 to secure the ring.
  2. Crochet the Letter O:
    • Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. This forms the center of the letter O.
    • Pull the tail end of the magic ring to tighten it, closing the center hole.
  3. Round 2:
    • 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc).
    • Join with a slip stitch to the first sc of this round.
