Hate the Crochet Magic Ring?

🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:

*How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!

*How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀

*How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's?* Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.

Omg yes! Magic rings confuse me so much, I feel like a need a video tutorial every time I want to do one. Definitely will use this!

Girl you saved me. When I was watching the other tutorials I was ready to throw my hook to the wall

I'm new at crocheting and therefore new at the frustration on the magic ring... The brilliance of this alternative method is amazingly wonderful! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!

I love the magic ring, because it’s easy to do and super nice to have a neat and tidy look once your project is done, but I’ve found that it wastes a lot of yarn for shedders like velvet yarn because of how much extra tail I have to leave for it to close without breaking the yarn. Thank you so much for this!

Ive been crocheting for a little over a year and this is what i needed no other magic ring techniques worked bot this really takes the cake for best one. Ive been through many tutorials that are around five minutes long but this fifty seven second video is the best 5 stars ✨✨✨✨✨

[SabineScollo]

Thanks, this helps so much.

[beeeedance]

I love crochet tips, they help me improve a lot :)

This is such a game changer for crocheting!!! Making magic loops has always been so difficult! So helpful!

[tkgosselin]

I find the magic circle so much better than this way, it doesn't leave a center ring. This way I use for making roses only now. The star is adorable!!!!

[sanneros]

Thank you!!! I started a couple days back and I couldn't find a good instruction for this. I just stumbled on this

[kathleenborsch]

I just now saw this video, rushed over to my crochet basket, and followed your directions. It worked! So easy! This comes after searching and viewing several different versions, explanations, and faulty demonstrations of the magic circle, and I was ready to give up.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! You made my day!

It’s an easier way to make a magic loop for beginners (you’re stitching into the first stitch instead of the loop) but it comes out like a magic ring (the chain method of this; you can’t really cinch it closed, but in a lot of projects that doesn’t even matter - like you said, you can always sew it shut if it bothers you). A lot of people use the terms interchangeably, but they’re not the same; In one you begin by stitching all your stiches into a single loop and with the other you start with a chain.

Nice way of combining two techniques! It’s the **magic hoop**!

[Lenore_Ayche]

There’s an easier way!

You make your slip knot, then chain two. From there you work all of your stitches into that first chain. To close it, you just pull the tail away from you and the knot towards you.

Hope this helps! ❤

I don’t understand why people hate the magic ring so much. I understand that some people find it difficult and so did I but once I got the hang of it it was so easy ! This just looks harder in my opinion, but great alternative!!

Somebody PLEASE reply to this so I can see it later. This is the best tutorial I have ever seen!
