How to Crochet - Magic Ring (or Magic Circle)

Hi everyone! If you're finding the tutorial a little too fast, you can adjust the playback speed on the video settings. Thank you!

This is a quick tutorial on how I do my magic ring and how to work single crochets into the magic ring.

This technique is for crocheting amigurumi and projects that require crocheting in the rounds.

Happy Crocheting!

I see all of these people going "easiest tutorial" and it makes me feel even worse because I've tried 5 times now and still can't figure it out

[Abstormal]

I return to this every time I need to start a new project, just can't remember how to make the first loop correctly XD

[Anna-milo]

This is the literal ONLY video that makes ANY sense at all in teaching a beginner how to do this. Thank you so much!!

[robbirainwaterwallen]

I’ve been making amigurumi for years now and this is by far one of the best tutorials. Thank you MJ!

I have been failing at learning how to make a magic circle on and off for over a decade. This is the first tutorial I watched that ended with me successfully having a magic ring, and for that I'm indebted to you.

No, can't do it. I've tried 9 hours. Gonna do it another time.

This was a good tutorial that helped me actually remember and do it without the video! My only issue was I had the wrong end I was wrapping around so my magic wasn't working to close the circle, making me do it 3 times. The working end of the year is the one you wraparound and hangs off the topside of the 2 fingers. Leaving this for me to remember next time!

You have no idea how many videos I’ve watched to try to get this and I gave up. I decided to watch one more video and this was it. I GOT Thank

I've been trying to do this for nearly 2 hours and audibly gasped when I finally managed 😭😭

[mariposawolf]

out of the many, many different techniques i've seen to start off the magic circle, yours is the one that actually helped me make one successfully!

[Kimberkovar-ixyy]

This is the best magic ring video I have found. As a beginner I found this very easy to follow, and made my first magic ring a lot quicker than I thought. Thank you!

[kiarabanman]

when i pull the starting tail to try to pull it together, the tail won't budge. What am i doing wrong?!

[aliciabeaudry]

I was having such a hard time with the magic circle until I found your video. It finally "clicked" for me. Now I'm even doing it on my own!!! thank you!!! I hated the mc for awhile. lol

[ThirdStreetCreates]

Fantastic! You saved my frustrations! Tried for about an hour without good success and then looked for a video…found yours. So easy to understand and worked perfectly!

[indiradas]

This is the best video I've seen for doing a magic circle- very clear instructions, thank you!

[Cassy_Crafts]

Thank you for this video. I've been trying to make a magic circle all day and this is the only video that helped me.

[leslieb]

This is the BEST magic ring tutorial I’ve seen! I appreciate that it was fast. I’ve been crocheting for a few years and never got the hang of this. This is the first time I’ve seen it done this way. Thanks!

My mother taught me to crochet a very long time ago. She crocheted all the for many years. I have never seen this technique before right now. You make a difference. With Gratitude. Beaula Bix.
