Questions

How many stitches to increase in a crochet circle?

Add the starting number every round: 6 for single crochet, 8 for half double, 12 for double. Round 3 in sc has 18 stitches, round 4 has 24.

Why is my crochet circle wavy or cupping?

Wavy means too many increases or loose stitches; cupping means too few or tight ones. Check your counts, and stagger the increases each round so it stays round.

Why does my circle look like a hexagon?

Increases stacked in the same place make corners. Move the increases along a stitch or two each round to keep the circle round.
