Crochet-covered rings can be made into a belt or even an entire garment if you feel experimental and want real 1960s nostalgia.

For a beginner, working around a solid object like a curtain ring can be a way to keep the stitches even.

Fasten off, leaving an end to sew with. Thread this end on to wool needle and join by taking it over the first dc of the round, under the two top strands of the next dc, then back into the last dc of the round, so that it looks like the top of a dc. Darn in the first end, but leave the second free. Cover remaining large rings with B, C and A.
