The project is started by chaining twice and then single crocheting six times into the first chain.

If you prefer, you can use a magic circle instead.

[crochet words]x6 - brackets indicate that something is repeated multiple times in one round. The number outside of the brackets tells you how many times it should be repeated.

(##) - Numbers inside parentheses at the end of a round tells you the stitch count of that round.

If you are unfamiliar with FPSC, here is a video by The Yarnist that will show you how to make it: The Front Post Single Crochet (FPsc)

Crocheting in the front loops can also perfectly replace the FPSC in this pattern.
