Make a decrease at the beginning and end of each row,
as done on the first side.
Make another piece using the same method.
Make a slip knot and a chain.
Rows 1–41: 8 single crochets
Rows 42–70: 3 single crochets
Cut the yarn.
Skip two stitches and work 3 single crochets in the same direction,
and work up for 29 rows.
Leave the yarn attached
and sew in the zipper.
Fold this piece as shown,
then join the two edges using slip stitches while working on the wrong side.
After that, join each row exactly to its corresponding row using single crochets.
The magic ring must align with the center row.
