Phase 2 - Clue 1

You will need Cotton yarn solids or milti- colored and size F or G hook ( if you crochet loose go for F, if your spot on for gauge go with G.)

I used a US G Hook. My opinion solid would look better.
Starting at center, ch 6. Join with sl st to form ring.
1st rnd: Ch 1, 15 sc in ring. Join with sl st in 1st sc.
2nd rnd: Ch 3 (to count as 1 dc), dc in same place as sl st, 2 dc in each st around (30 sts). Join with sl st in top st of 1st ch-3.
3rd rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * half dc in front loop of next st, 5 dc in front loop of next st, half dc in front loop of next st, sc in front loop of next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. Join last sc in same place as 1st sc.( You are using the front loops only in this round.)

Clue 2

4th rnd: Ch 3, dc in remaining loop of each st of rnd before last,* Dc 1 in the next backloop,2 dc in the next st.* around (45 sts). Join.
5th rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * half dc in front loop of next st, 5 dc in front loop of next st, half dc in front loop of next st, sc in front loop of next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. Join last sc in same place as 1st sc.
6th rnd:Ch 3, * Dc 1 in each of the next 2 backloop,2 dc in the next st.* around (60 sts). Join.

Clue 3
7th rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * half dc in front loop of next st, 5 dc in front loop of next st, half dc in front loop of next st, sc in front loop of next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. Join last sc in same place as 1st sc.
8th rnd: Ch 3, dc in remaining loop of each st of rnd before last,* Dc in each of the next 3 backloop, 2 dc in the next st.* around (75 sts). Join.
9th rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * half dc in front loop of next st, 5 dc in front loop of next st, half dc in front loop of next st, sc in front loop of next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. Join last sc in same place as 1st sc.
10th rnd:Ch 3, * Dc 1 in each of the next 4 backloop, 2 dc in the next st.* around.Join. (90sts)

This is where I stopped. If you want yours bigger just repeat the 2 rows and increase 15 sts evenly.

The back you can either make another one or I just did a plain circle and sc around the outside to join. When I sl st the first sc to the backloop of the front I chained 15 then continued to sc around then when i got back to the loop I sc in the loop to make a hanger.
