FLIPPERS (x4)

R3: (Sc, inc) x 6. (18 sts)

Without FO, follow the steps below:

1. Fold the circle in half so that it is a semi-circle. You will now crochet through both layers of the circle.
2. Sc in the first pair of sts. (Inc in next pair of sts, sc in next) across.
3. FO with a long tail for sewing to the body later.

Make a total of four flippers.
