Plan a flat crochet circle
Use an increase schedule tested for the actual stitch height. A fixed number of increases is not universal across stitches, gauge and yarn.

Before you start
Confirm whether the instructions use US or UK terms. On a smooth-yarn sample, mark the first and last stitch and note whether the turning chain counts.
Try this example
If a reviewed round grows from 24 to 30 stitches, it adds six net stitches. Mark six sectors, count each and lay the circle flat before the next round.
Check your result
- Count stitch tops separately from chain spaces and compare successive row or round totals. Lay the sample down without stretching it to inspect the shape.
- A symbol or familiar stitch name does not supply a complete construction. Use the project’s own counts, turning rules and joining instructions.
