1. Easy Flat Circle Shape

This flat circle shape is worked in a spiral, with no slip stitches joining your rounds together, and no chains between rounds. This sort of construction helps you to avoid ending up with a visible slanted line on your crocheted circle shape — which is one of those pesky pitfalls I mentioned above.

3. Easy Curved Crochet Circle Pattern

I can think of many possible reasons you might want to crochet a circle with a slight curve. This could become an essential component of many different types of creative crochet projects.

I originally designed this pattern because I thought it would be interesting to use two of these circles as part of a duffel-style purse — one on either side. When I put my first version of the purse together, I decided that these circles weren’t quite right for the style I had in mind, so I’m re-designing the bag to make it more in line with what I want.

However, I envision that these circles will be useful for many other projects. That experiment sparked several other ideas in my head for things to do with them — and I hope you’ll find uses for them, too, if you are so inclined.
