So which one is your favorite, the Magic Loop or Magic Ring? Do you have any other techniques to make this?

Until 2 years ago I had not crocheted in 40 years. When I retired from teaching school for 36 years and having acquired arthritis in both hands, I started crocheting again. Things have changed, and I so thankful for you tube. After this video, I just made my second magic loop. He really explains it so well but I did have to rewind SEVERAL times. Then it clicked. I am so excited.❤

I have watched about 30 different videos now trying to learn how to make a magic circle. Was starting to feel like my hands just weren't coordinated enough to crochet, but I did it thanks to you! You explain things in such a simple and slow way that it actually lets me try along with you instead of pausing and rewinding multiple times just for one step. You also just position your hands in a way that feels more open and shows me what you are doing, while slowly doing it. So glad I found your channel and look forward to learning more from you!

I constantly come back to this video specifically for a reference on a magic circle/loop. Absolutely the best video ever for learning how to make a magic circle/loop. Thank you for this video 🙏🏼

A magic loop is just a loose slip knot. One day I was doing all kinds of maneuvers to make a magic loop. Then I was looking at it for the longest time. It was then then that I realized it was just a very loose slip knot. Give it a try.

Where were you when I was trying to learn this 10 years ago ? THANK you for explaining this so clear and precisely. You are easy to follow . Your voice a very pleasant to listen to thank you again you have a new subscriber.

I have crocheted for over 30 years off and on. I never saw this stitch, which is odd, because I have made things that would have really looked more polished with this. I guess I made it. :)

I want to thank the video maker. I looked at two other tutorials and was beyond frustrated. This is a first with crocheting, but this time, it was better with a male teacher. Nice, and very patient. Two methods.

my first time learning crochet was learning magic ring with your videos..i think it's easy for me..and thank you for your videos on invisible decrease as well, i finished my first miffy crochet :)

I know I'm late to the party, but this video is the best video I have ever found on the Magic Loop and Magic Ring. Thank you so much for your slow pace and easy to understand phrasing and word choice when explaining how to make it.

[rosalindmailander]

Wow! Yours is the first video out of 10 that actually showed and explained how to make the magic circle clearly. I finally got it! Thank you

[insanekitten]

Thank you so much for showing how to do both of these methods. I was trying to learn to crochet from amigurumi books and as you know, you generally start off with circular pieces for most projects and the Magic Ring (2nd method you showed?) is the method I saw being shown in books but was not as detailed. I kept getting stuck on why the tail wasn't tightening properly, so I really appreciate how clearly you showed how that worked!

I’ve been trying to figure out the magic loop for WEEKS! This video finally made it click! THANK YOU!!! ❤

[landingswithlexi]

I’ve been using the first method for a while now so I decided to try the second method you did and so far I love it! I might have to include this in more of my projects!!! 🤗

[cdngirlntx]

I am so glad I found your video. I have tried to so many times to do this and really dreaded any time I saw one used in a pattern. This is the first time I've actually been able to do it!

[katherinelangford]

I have watched at least a dozen videos trying to teach this. Yours was slow enough, concise, gave options, and FINALLY, after multiple videos, attempts, and 2 months of giving up and finally circling back to find your video I got it to work. A little bIt more practice and I will be making my first little star. I've done cloths, beanies, cowls, triangle scarfs, but the magic ring was throwing me for a loop. THANK YOU!!!

[carolaldrich]

This is the best video to learn the magic ring/ loop/circle. I have watched several other videos, and watched them two or three times, but this one I can understand, and the demonstration and instructions are easy, but thorough.

[beezerz]

Thank you so much! I watched an absurd amount of tutorials without getting any results and after seeing yours I got it!
I prefer the Magic Ring method, not sure why but I get less stuck, anyways keep up with the amazing content! 💖

[beatricesalazar]

I was watching other crochet courses and I was having a lot of trouble following the instructors explanation about how to tackle a magic loop. Your video provided very clear steps on how to go about making a magic loop. I got it now thanks to you.

[knitwit]

Thanks. I always was confused by that. You did a great job of demonstrating it.

[Tasarlin]

Wonderful and helpful video Louie, thank you!
