I've watched sooo many tutorials today, still couldn't get through the first stitch. I already gave up on crochet forever, but then this video came up. I watched it one time and actually did it. I'm so happy. You guys please don't give up. You'll get to it, even if takes you two hours like me

I've gone through 6 videos where they all skipped through chaining the loop. You are the first to show it plain and simple and now thanks to you I can make a magic ring.

I, TOO, WATCHED WAY TOO MANY MR VIDEOS ONLY TO GET SO FRUSTRATED THAT I HAD QUIT FOR THE DAY. TODAY I STARTED OVER WITH VIDEOS AND FOUND YOURS. YOU ARE SO PERFECT WITH INSTRUCTIONS, SLOWLY MOVING THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO SLOW VIDEO DOWN TO WATCH. I HAVE PLACED YOUR VIDEO IN MY CROCHET STITCHES FOLDER AND WILL CONTINUE TO GO THRU YOUR VIDEOS TO FIND MORE ON STITCHES THAT MIGHT CONFUSE ME OR THAT I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A SUPERB INSTUCTIVE VIDEO.

I’ve watched around 10 videos today trying to understand how to make a magic circle but always ended up knotting up the yarn with the first stitch. This Video helped me understand what to do on the first play through without needing to rewind at all! I loved this and got it on my first try

THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO LEARN HOW TO DO THE MAGIC RING! THANKS!

[moma]

Followed along easily and it worked the first time! You were slow, clear, and precise (the three things we need in tutorials like this). Thank you so much.

Literally the first time I've been able to make a magic ring after a whole year of crocheting, thank you!

[krisjugan]

Method 2 is now my favorite way to make the magic circle. It starts out exactly how I make my slipknot. Thank you!

[leslieyoakum]

I can't say thank you enough! Some people have the gift of teaching and some people just don't.

[jamieloonam]

I’ve watched a number of tutorials on the magic ring, and yours is the first I can figure out. THANK YOU!!

[paulaortega]

Finally! A video that is slow enough to comprehend what the steps are! Thank you!

[sabrinangwira]

Thank you so much. This is the best tutorial I've watched. I was about to give up.

[vivienleell]

I have been struggling to make a magic circle until I saw your second method. Thank you for sharing this!

[carriehandy]

Thank you for the update! I followed your original magic ring tutorial, but I find the second method easier.

[lovelyjunk]

Thank you so much for making this video! I almost lost my hope on mastering Magic Ring, when I found it. If you are able to, please, create more tutorials, that's totally your thing.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU, not a single one of the past 5 tutorials I've watched ever mentioned crocheting OVER THE TAIL as well, and that's how we get it to close when we tug

[ratonoralo]

I finally succeeded in making a magic ring using method 2. I’m so happy. Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial!

[ElizabethDobson]

I’ve been trying to crochet the magic ring for two months and this is the one that worked, thank you so much

[b.stocker]

Thank you so much for Method 2, so much easier to do. Your teaching method so very clear. I'm saving this in case I need a reminder. LOL
