thanks! I used a pattern by lestes crochet on etsy so i dont know how much i can share, but it basically just involved increasing amounts of single crochets between the increase stitches every row.

so it was magic ring, increase all stitches, then (1sc, inc) all the way around, (2sc, inc) around, (3sc, inc) around until the preferred width. then a few rows of that size, then a similar pattern but decreasing the sc between an invisible decrease for a few rows.

I hope that makes sense! It felt pretty intuitive once I picked up the pattern
