Ch - chain

Sc - single crochet
Sl st - slip stitch
St - stitch
Hdc - half double crochet
Dc - double crochet
Rnd - round
Rep - repeat
Hook size: H (5mm)
Orange (make 2)

The orange circles are worked in a spiral - don't join your rounds. Mark them with a stitch marker. Note: A particular stitch pattern may not end exactly on the right stitch. (I.e., the pattern may read "increase in next stitch, sc in next 6 stitches" and you may have only 5 stitches left instead of 6.) I didn't do a very good job at this! It's pretty forgiving though. Just keep going and start the new round a little further on, or don't finish the stitch pattern. The general idea is to make your increases at different points around the circle, to avoid corners and make a smooth circle shape (you don't want an octagon-type thing).
