To begin, anchor your granny circle securely and cut off both loose ends, close to your circle.

Start with a slip knot on your crochet hook.

Single crochet (UK double crochet), yarn to granny circle. Crochet 7 chain, leave 4sts on your circle, single crochet between fourth and fifth stitch. The result is a 7 chain scallop.

Chain another 7sts, leave 4 stitches on the circle, work another single crochet. Repeat around the circle, working 7 ch and slip stitching to the first single crochet to finish off. You will have 8 scallops around your circle.

Cut your yarn 2" from the end, thread through the stitch and pull tight to fasten off.

To join scalloped circles:

You will be joining 2 scallops of circle 1 to 2 scallops of circle 2, as shown in the diagram above.

Start as you did with circle 1 - Single crochet, crochet 7 chain stitches, leave 4 sts on the circle, single crochet again, until you have completed 2 scallops of 7 chains each.

Next, crochet 3 chain stitches, slip stitch into the 4th chain stitch of any scallop on circle 1. Crochet 3 chain sts, leave 4sts on circle 2, work a single crochet. One scallop is now attached.

Crochet 3 chain sts, slip stitch into the 4th chain of the next scallop on circle 1, crochet 3 chain sts, leave 4 sts on circle 2 and work a single crochet.

Two scallops from circles 1 and 2 are now joined.

Continue around circle 2, making scallops of 7 chain stitches around. FInish as for circle 1.

Join the rest of your granny circles in the same manner, joining them to the following circles as shown in the diagram.
