Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Creating the Evil Eye Circles

You will need to crochet two circles to create each completed Evil Eye charm.

1. Round 1 (Black or Pink for visibility):

   • Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and chain 2 (counts as first half double crochet - HDC).
   • Half Double Crochets: Make 11 more HDCs into the ring for a total of 12.
   • Close the Ring: Pull the short end to close the hole, slip stitch into the top of chain 2 to finish the round.

2. Round 2 (Light Blue):

   • Attach New Yarn: Insert your hook into any stitch and pull through the new color yarn.
   • Chain 2 and HDC Increase: Chain 2 (counts as HDC), make another HDC in the same stitch. Then, make two HDCs in each stitch around for a total of 24 HDCs.
   • Finish Round: Slip stitch into the top of chain 2 to join.

3. Round 3 (White):

   • Attach White Yarn: As before, attach new yarn by pulling through a stitch.
   • Chain 2 and HDC in Each Stitch: Chain 2 (first HDC), then make 1 HDC in each stitch around for 24 HDCs total.
   • Finish Round: Slip stitch into the top of chain 2 to join.

4. Round 4 (Ink Blue):

   • Attach Ink Blue Yarn: Attach yarn in any stitch.
   • Chain 2 and HDC Increase: Chain 2 (first HDC), and make two HDCs in each stitch around for a total of 48 HDCs.
   • Finish Round: Slip stitch into the top of chain 2 to join and cut yarn, leaving a tail for weaving.

Part 2: Assembling the Evil Eye

1. Join the Two Circles:

   • Align Circles: Place the wrong sides facing each other.
   • Join with Slip Stitches: Using ink blue yarn, slip stitch through the back loops of both circles' stitches around.
   • Stuffing (Optional): If desired, stuff the circles with fiber filling before closing the last section with slip stitches.

2. Creating a Loop (Optional):
