Step 1: Form the starting loop
First, you need to create a starting loop. For this, form a small 'pretzel' from the end of the raffia string. Insert the crochet hook through this loop, grab the yarn, and pull it through to create the first stitch.
Step 2: Crochet chain stitches
Now, crochet 15 chain stitches. These are basic stitches that form the base for your napkin ring. When you’re done, connect the first and last stitch with a slip stitch to create a circle.
Step 3: Slip stitches for the ring
Crochet four rounds of slip stitches. Here, the crochet hook is inserted into the next stitch and the pulled loop is drawn through the loop on the hook. This technique ensures a solid, clean result. You can best hide the beginning and end of the raffia string by pulling them through the stitches with a size 3.0 crochet hook.
