I can't seem to do a circle. HELP!

[ashura]

Every time i try to do a flat circle, for some reason i keep ending up with a kind of bowl shaped, semi-circle, thing! :shrugDunno why. Last time i tried to make a circular pouch and i ended up with a weird shaped hat that had an odd point on the top of it! (It is warm though, bu there's NO way in the world i'd wear it out and about!) :blush

Can someone tell me how to do a flat circle. PLEASE!

Check out this tutorial here for sc (http://www.innerchil*************/resources/how_to_design/simple_circle.html)and here for double crochet (http://crochet-patterns-techniques.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_crochet_circle_recipe_ii)

Usually you are doubling the next round then after that adding the same number of stitches evenly around the circle, each round.

If you are workng in spiral not joining the rounds make sure you have a scrap of yarn to mark the beginning of the round
