Crochet Magic Circle - (Left Hand) Stitch Guide

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Crochet the magic circle by using the left hand. There are several ways to crochet a magic circle (ring) and this video tutorial shows an easy and efficient way of doing so.
The crochet magic circle can be used to begin any project that needs to have a circular or spiral shape. It works great for amigurumi/animals, hats, or for anything that needs to have a flat circle.
The crochet magic circle is also called the adjustable ring, adjustable circle, or magic loop.

    I can't tell you how much these left hand tutorials have meant to me. I've been crashing nearly my entire life, beading, weaving, etc., but the major crochet projects always eluded me because no one could ever properly shore me, a lefty, just how to do the stitches. These videos have opened a new world of crafty fun and the ability to make wonderful things for my grandchildren, family and friends. THANK YOU!!!

    I have to say a thousand thank you's to you! I've never beeen able to do a magic ring! I can do extremely challenging patterns, this absolutely eluded me! Ever since i taught myself to crochet, at 17, I've learned everything right handed, because they didn't make left handed patterns, in the 70's, I guess because southpaws were sub humans. Lol! You, after watching at least a dozen tutorials & was ready to chuck the tablet across the room. Then, after I came to bed, I thought I'd try one more time. And, there YOU were! Your only thing I wished for, is raise your voice a bit. Other than that, I learned how to do a magic ring tonight! Your turorial is a God send. You have no idea! Thank You! A million times, Thank You! God Bless You & Your Family, Always...

    I never realised how different is it just to try it in my dominant hand, I’ve been trying to do it in my right coz lots of the videos are right handed. I just couldn’t do the magic circle like that though and this is so much better! Going to look up more left handed Tutorials from now on

    I've been practicing all day and I've finally got it. It will make so much difference to my work as I mainly do toys for my 7week old granddaughter. I'm a 63 yr old man and wanted to do something totally different for her arrival, so I learnt how to crochet from all the great tutorials on here, and made her two lovely blankets, beanies, mittens and now toys. I REALLY appreciate all the work that people like you put into these tutorials. Thank you.

    I still haven't got the hang of it! I ended up in such a tangle. I guess I will have to just make a circle with chains, join the end with a slip stitch and work over the tail as I have alwaysdone. I'm disapponted as was hoping to find an easier and more effective way but thanks for trying to gain entry into my very, very left handed brain! Crochet has been one of the many bains of my life!

    Ok. Seriously. Thank you so so much. I have been trying to to a magic loop/ring since like September/October, so like 4 or 5 months. I was never able to get it cause I couldn’t tell what they were doing, or the pictures didn’t show it well, or they went to fast, or they didn’t really explain it. BUT I JUST DID IT FINALLY!!! And I think watching someone do it left handed helped ALOT. So thank you so so much

    Watched this as a refresher on how to do the magic circle, and found it much more clear and logical compared to how I was doing it before! Love how this version lets you weave the tail in too - much more tidy! For those who were finding it goes too fast, I watched it through a couple of times, then had a few goes following the video, pausing it at each stage to allow me to try it slowly. I've saved the video to my faves in case I have another brain fog in future - thank you for your help!
