Abbreviations:
ch = chain
st = stitch or stitches
sc = single crochet (US), double crochet (UK)
tog = together
sc2tog = decrease by working two sc together
BLO = work in back loop only
FO = fasten off

Work in rounds unless otherwise stated and do not join rounds unless told to. Use a stitch marker to mark the start of a round - a small piece of different coloured yarn placed under the stitch at the start of the round will do. To start a round, you can use the magic ring method, but I prefer to ch 2, and work the appropriate number of sc into 1^st ch. If you work the sc over the tail of yarn as well you can use that to pull the hole tight.
