Magic Ring Crochet Video Tutorial
Are you wondering what the magic ring, a.k.a. the magic circle, is? Simply put, it’s an awesome little technique that is the ideal way to start a crochet project that will be worked in a round that needs to be cinched closed in the center (think hats!).
It’s an alternative to working into a chain. You may notice that a hat pattern, for example, would instruct you to chain 3 and then proceed to make a round of double crochets into the 3rd chain from the hook. Well, the magic ring works in place of that 3rd chain from the hook.
The reason the magic ring is so cool is that it’s really easy to close up! Have you ever ended up with a hole in the center of the beginning round when using the chain method? When you use the magic ring, all you have to do is pull on the tail and it’ll close that hole right up!
