This is the first magic ring i understood enough to accomplish. Crocheting is harder than i thought 😂

After 70 years of crocheting, I am still learning! Thank you for this very clear explanation of where to hold the yarn while making a magic ring!

Exactly!

Thank you so much. You make it all so clear. I’m trying to help my granddaughter learn how to crochet and she asked me about the Magic Ring. I never heard of it before. It’s like somebody said in the comments you are never too old to learn. Thanks again and Thank you KZread.🥰

This really adds a lot of clarity! Thank you so much 😊! I’ve watched several videos and nobody ever clarified 1) how to hold the yarn 2) wether or not to do a slip stitch and 3) how many chains to make! My ‘beginner’ pattern just said “start with a magic ring, crochet 6 double crochets into the circle.” This was so helpful, really!

I know this is a few years old but I just wanted to say, thank you for the encouragement and tender attitude! I swear just listening to the end part as I struggled through really helped the "oh no I can't do this" anxiety! You are a gem!

Thanks for the cheat method, I've never been able to do the magic circle and personally didn't think the tiny hole at the top of a beanie hat looked that bad. The cheat method for me from now on.

I’m making beanies again, after making afghans and throws for several months. Needed a magic circle refresher, and you’ve provided a good tutorial, very easy to follow. Hang in there, crocheters, it’s worth your time to learn this technique. I only threw one or two hooks and balls of yarn out the window before I caught on. 😂🧶

This way using the double crochet has made me a nice ring that I can actually see where the next stitches are going to go. The other ways I have used so far have made the ring too tiny and difficult to work with. So this is a good way of doing the magic circle ☺️

You do a great job of explaining this. I learned to crochet from my great-grandmother - she taught me an extremely simple magic circle cheat, and from what I can tell, there is no practical difference between the easy-cheat and the magic circle. It's very easy to show but kind of hard to explain with words. You make a slip-knot just like you'd do to start a chain, except you turn the yarn direction around so that the end you pull to tighten the loop is the tail end of the yarn instead of the skein-side end. Once you've made the backward-facing slip knot, you should be able to tighten the loop size by pulling on the tail end. Make the loop big enough to work in it comfortably. After you've made the backward slip-not, turn the knot around so it's facing the normal direction with the skein-side end in front. Put your hook through the big loop, yarn over, pull through the center of the loop, yarn over and pull through to make a chain, then make two more chains (for a double crochet). Yarn over, go through the center of the big loop again and make your appropriate number of double crochets all through the center of the big loop. Once you've finished, you can pull the tail end to tighten the center hole down to almost nothing. Magic! Hopefully that was understandable.

I think I got it!

Thank you so much♥️ I have never really gotten it, until now. You have a teacher’s gift my dear. This from a 69 year old, long time crocheter. I just quit trying. Now, I’m a magic ring wiz! Because of you💕

You just made my life incredibly better, I love to crochet ( 3 months now ) but always hated to start a new project. I can do the magic circle but no one ever said that I should be doing a dbl crochet in the magic circle. I always just made a single crochet, and I could never find my first stitch, or even the other stitches easily. Thank you so much!

I was completely frustrated but the cheat makes it a bit easier to understand.... Thank you!!!! Practice makes perfect!!!

The only tutorial that actually helped me with the magic circle

I'm so glad I found this video. I've seen so many about the "magic ring," but, none have been so detailed and informative as this one is. TYSM for sharing your techniques and knowledge with us. 🥰

I want you to know that I have had so much trouble learning this stitch. I just would like to thank you. I can now finally do this after watching ur video. I have watched tons of videos on this and you are the only one I've found that has made this easy to do. Again thank you so so much 🥰

Oh my gosh! thank you so much!! I’ve seen countless of tutorials and yours is the only one that actually helped me create a magic circle! I’m excited to learn more.

Thanks to your original video, I practiced and I now am comfortable with the magic ring. Thank you so much for your videos and tv channel. I enjoy them and your teaching style. 🤗

Omg thank you! I’ve watched several videos and tried tirelessly to get this. This is a great tutorials-clear and concise. Thank you so so much!!!

That was the best magic ring tutorial….I finally got it!

Thank you!!! Best tutorial for the magic ring, made it slow and easy for a beginner like me.🙏❤

i’ve watched so many magic circle videos and this is the only one that helped me understand!! thank you!!!

This is the first tutorial that produced a proper magic ring for me. Thank you!

Thank you for this explanation of the magic ring. I have tried for years but your video is the reason I can finally do a magic ring.

Thank you. It sure is awesome to know where to put my fingers and how to single crochet all around to make the circle. You are awesome and very easy to understand and view. I’m a follower from now on. Thank you once again.

I've watched many videos to learn this and none of them were clear enough instructions. You are a very good teacher so i know Silk learn a lot from you. Thank you so much.

This is a very clear explanation, and I think you for that. My only sticking point is, if having a lot of stitches done in the magic ring means you end up with a hole in the middle anyway, then what is the advantage to doing it this way as opposed to doing it the old way? Seems like the best thing would be to learn both methods, and decide which method to use based on how you start your crochet project; if you're going to do a lot of stitches in the ring, then use the starting method that you're most comfortable with because you're going to have to close that gap anyway.

YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND FOR THIS. OMG. Lol. The x thing was making it so hard for me for some reason. I had no issue with this. Took me 2 seconds. Thank you!

Thank you for your clear and easy explanation ❤️

Thank you for this video! I have watched so many for the magic ring and yours is the best by far.

I love this tutorial! I was specifically looking for a "how to make magic ring" tutorial. I had already made one with a pattern I was making but wasn't confident on how to do it again. A few videos came up before yours and I watched each for a few minutes before I decided they were terrible. Yours is so clear and I appreciate the "why you'd use it" part of the video and the details of where to put my fingers at all times while making this magic ring and crocheting into it and tightening it up and weaving in the tail. The cheat is nice too! I will definitely watching more of your videos. Your comments about struggling to do the magic ring are so kind and encouraging.

Thank you. Your tutorial was wonderfully done and helpful. helpful. I use 3 steps to form the not so magic magic ring. You did clear up my question(s) about chaining up to begin the project and yarn choice for practicing. 😊

Oh, Beloved . . . You are such a treasure to me! I’ve never been able to master the magic circle, until now . . . Thank you, Dear One!!! 😘❤️🌹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You are the only person that made me achieve the magic ring (should’ve been called the ring of doom but k). All the steps in the videos I watched were so easy to follow and everything went fine until I pulled the string and it didn’t fully close the circle. It was so frustrating. After a few hours of trying, searching, etcetera I came to your video and you really helped! The yarn took big place into doing it and your finger placements were really clear. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this I was having trouble pulling the string but now I know what I was doing wrong love this the instructions where clear

Oh. My. God. I literally just spent the last 3 1/2 hours going through videos trying to figure this stupid stitch out. It was SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING, but I am extremely stubborn. Anyway, eventually I stumbled upon this video, and something about the way you explained / demonstrated starting the ring made it FINALLY CLICK FOR ME! I have several discarded attempts in a pile next to my left, and now one on my hook that doesn't look terrible! I am going to keep coming back to this video until I have it down by muscle memory. Thank you so much!

This has been the most helpful video for learning how to make a ring. I'm still struggling where to place my slip stitch, but I can successfully create a ring that closes using both methods. Thank you so much!!!🎉😂😊

I finally realised thanks to you what I have been doing wrong for 2 years I have been trying to learn this. I was turning instead of just pulling it threw

Thank you thank you thank you!! Nailed it on my first try because of you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for that I’ve been having so much problems with them not no more Have a blessed day

Thank you for explaining and showing this in easy to follow directions.

Very clear explanation. Should make it easy to learn!

Thank you for telling us the instructions clearly!! 😊

Hi Brittany: Thank you so much for B.Hooked TV. I'm already a fan of your KZread video channel and your blog and think this new format is great! I'm a self-taught crocheter who learned to crochet using size 10 thread and tiny steel crochet hooks. I've been working on the magic ring a lot and can see some progress! I've been successful at making the ring but I still find it somewhat challenging, to say the least! Your tutorial is really helpful. I like it that you were so very thorough with your explanation of exactly how to place your fingers. I think that's the key to being successful in making the magic ring. I will definitely try your method! My biggest problem is with reading and understanding crochet charts. I learned to crochet by reading written patterns and the crochet charts look like a foreign language to me! Lol If you have the time, maybe you could do a little tutorial on reading charts. That would really be helpful to me. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video, it is so informative and easy to follow (especially with pause).

You are the BEST! this is the only tutorial that allows me to do a perfect magic circle/ring 😭😭😭 Thank you so much!

I really hate crocheting in the round, and this helps a lot! Thank you

Thank you!!! You’re an excellent teacher! I got it first try 😊

Thank you so very much. I had watched so many other videos each one so different. I am still having trouble finding a comfortable way to hold my thread. What I was missing was holding the thread and where the tail was and where the working thread went. It wasn’t till you said turn your pinky up for the working thread and I said what. When we started that is where the tail usually is. So my thread was backward and tail would not close the loop. In learning all the other stitches you start with rapping the end or tail around your pinky. No one had explained to do the magic ring it was opposite. Until I actually noticed, after watching and backing your video at least 2 dozen times. However, thanks to you I had a closed ring the very first time the tread was wrapped correctly.

OMG.....finally!!!! Its taken me months to get this right. Thank you!!!!

Yours is the seventh video I tried to follow and the first one that works. Good job. I was thinking, Why not just use that gathering stitch and forget the magic ring? And then you did it! Am ready to make crochet butterflies now. 🦋

Thank You. I was frustrated and finally got it! Yeah!

I send so many people to this video when they struggle. Thank you for making this video!

OMG... I have tried and failed at the magic ring so many times...Before this that is. Thank you for doing this. I can't believe I did it after just a few tries..

I just learned a cheat too. I decided to use two threads to make a chain so I wouldn’t have to the single/double crochet that was messy and confusing. I don’t really know if it was single or double because I am still so new to crocheting but it was such a relief! But I am still having trouble rounding my word. Thanks for the help and understanding.

Excellent Video.... I tried to learn the magic circle from many videos but this was the easiest to follow, your explanation was so good and easy... Thank you

It took me quite bit to get it right, but once I had it down... Best thing ever for eliminating holes! By the way: you were the first KZread video teacher that got me started on crocheting... Thanks for still being around!

Oh, what an excellent teaching video. Thanks so much for sharing!😊

Thank you for sharing you knowledge & encouragement ❤

Thank you SO MUCH!! I spent so so long looking for tutorials on how to do this and yours was by far the best! Thank you for sharing your tips! 🙌

Great video after watching others..yours by far is so thorough! Thank you!

Youre so nice and calm. Love the tutorial!

i feel you have the clearest and best magic ring explanation on youtube, ive seen two of your videos and they are great. most videos assume u know which end of the yarn is the tail when u first start and that can make a huge difference. also you're hot :) have a nice day

Miracle thank you I could nt understand this couldn’t get it before now I’ve managed it 👍👍xxx

This is so amazing what a great help you have been

Great thanks so much. I love the technique. I have a bad relationship with the magic circle hahahahaha I promise though that I will try yours. Your calmed voice and simple instructions gave a motivation to try again and again.

This is the best method. Thank you 😊

This was incredibly helpful!!! Thank you so much!

I got it on the first try!! Thank you for the video

I'm finding that with crooked fingers and arthritis it's just really ridiculously hard. I AM tired tonight and fighting sciatica pain so I may have to try again tomorrow. But thank you for your help and encouragement! Knowing that I'm not the only one having a hard time with this makes me feel a bit better I'm really excited to start crocheting again after soooo many years. I'm 64 and my grandmother taught me when I was a girl. I had a family and got into other crafting like painting, which I did at night while the wild three were sleeping. I had to totally give up crosstitch because counting with three little ones, two with ADHD, was just impossible lolol. But I remember my grandfather always had busy work in her lap when I went to visit and I'd like to be more like that. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time sitting and I can't master the magic hoop lying down! I've tried numerous times. It's just led to frustration. If you have any advice for people whose fingers are not as nimble or straight as they once were, please do a video on it! I'd be grateful! God bless you and yours.

Dear Tracy: I started to get rheumatoid arthritis in my hands a few years ago; my finger joints had become so swollen, I cried each time I had to close my fingers down on anything. That’s when I discovered fresh ginger, turmeric and black pepper. Well . . . I made a gallon soup pot of tea using those ingredients and drank that tea throughout the days. What I didn’t drink on the first day, I left simmering on my hot plate for the next. Well, Dear One . . . The swelling of my fingers went completely down and (except for one slightly misshaped pointer finger on my left hand), I no longer have any swollen or painful finger joints. I’m 75 years old this year and continue to use turmeric and ground black pepper in almost everything I eat. I’m not a doctor, so, please check with yours to be sure there are no contraindications for your particular health issues. God Bless you and yours always and in all ways in Jesus’ Holy, Mighty and Victorious in the Highest and to the Uttermost Name. Amen and So Be It! 🕊🙏🏻😘❤️🌹

Hi Brittany! Gave you a like of course... It's a habit I've gotten myself into.. I do it first thing so I don't forget. I already have mastered the magic ring, but your episode and technique was very good. Also, I liked that little cheat you did with using the ch 4 instead.. good to know! You sound like you're from PA. I can hear the accent in some of the words you say. Thanks for another great episode of B. Hooked TV. 🌼🙂🌼
