Magic Circle or Ring Crochet

March 18, 2013 By: Lorene

Magic Circle or Ring Crochet Rounds

There are many methods to start a hat or any item in the round.  My favorite way and the way that I believe gives the most professional finished look is the magic circle or ring.   You can watch my video tutorial here…

Check out my other tutorials HERE

Picture Tutorial

001
pick up the yarn, hold the short end in the palm of your hand, leaving approximately 6″, leave the long working tail over the back of your hand

002
wrap the long working tail under the bottom of your hand to the top and grip the place where it intersects with your thumb and forefinger

003
place your hook in the resulting circle and pick up the strand of yarn from the long working tail

004
pull up and make a loop

005
yarn over and crochet a slip stitch (this will NOT count as any stitches in your pattern)

006
this is what it will look like after you complete your slip stitch

007
begin to crochet around the circle, using the circle like you would any stitch

008  009
once you have completed your stitches, pull the short tail to close the circle

010   011   012
slip stitch into the top of the first stitch in the magic ring (not the original slip stitch)

013   014
and now you have completed your magic circle or ring.  You can make the center hole smaller by pulling the short tail taut.  Stitch tail into finished item to secure tight.

For a professional look all the way throughout your hat check out my tutorials on seamless rounds.
