"Advanced slip knot"...truly a light-bulb moment. Hands down the simplest and best explanation for the magic circle/ring that I've seen thus far, thanks so much for this enlightening vid!

[@FalseBubbles]

Aww thanks so much!!! I'm so glad you found it helpful! 🥰

[@emilyculp]

I have watched 100 videos and only yours helped it made so much more sense when you compared it to the slip knot

[@femketje8496]

If only I knew sooner that it is just practically a slipknot and not the complicated advanced thing I always thought it was! I messed up so many magic circles because I was struggling with crossing the yarn over my hand and what not xD Thanks a lot!

[@FalseBubbles]

Omg I was in the same boat! Once I realised what I was doing it finally clicked!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@margoj2840]

omg. This was illuminating. I don't know why I struggle so much with Magic Circles. This really helps me. Thank You! And, king the last stitch in the round such a great idea. I like that so much better than marking the first.

[@lauren45211]

OMG is right! I have struggled to REMEMBER how to do the magic circle and you made it so simple for me to get. I do my slip knots the same way so it was JUST SO SIMPLE! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@lesleyrwalker]

Thank you so much! You explained it so clearly, including the bits that other videos brushed over. This answered all my questions and helped me understand the structure rather than just being a set of steps. And using the stitch marker right at the very start is genius, I wish I had thought of that.

[@FalseBubbles]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@karynbrunton5094]

I never could understand why people thought the malice ring was so difficult. You don’t need to wrap it around your fingers at all.

[@Rosybella]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to use this!You are a lifesaver!❤

[@eli3726]

That was great. Closeup and doing it slowly makes it easier to figure out! I knew there was an easier way of doing it. 😊

[@Ilovetoads2271.]

Thank you so much i just learned it tonight and I've been trying for months i love this style thank you so so so so so so so so sooooooooo much it is so helpful

[@zareien2290]

Some friendly advice: your entry level is all over the place. You specify (rightly) that a marker can go on the first or the last stitch of a round. I have never done ANY sort of crochet or knitting and i understood that. BUT, things that i didnt undertand: What is a slip knot ? What is a chain? What counts as a stitch? What do you mean by over the hook? (PLEASE SLOW DOWN YOUR HANDS) when doing your first real stitch, where you you push the hook in? How do you stop the yarn sliding off the hook (i.e. hook direction Its like, the first knot loop thing you do is the perfect speed, everything else feels like it goes at lightning speed with no break in between . Like those drawings that are like 1. Draw a circle, 2. Draw another circle, 3. Add detail, congrats youve drawn a horse. Im really grateful you put the time into making this, but it very much feels like youre trying to teach people that have zero knowledge, but posess the eyes of a crocheter. To those of us watching this video, this is a pile of spaghetti. You need to slow down and teach us the anatomy and terminology of the stitch

[@sneakypuppy6778]

exactly and it doesnt help a beginner when they look in the chat and evryone gets it (beginner or not) this was quite frustrating for me and i feel like she’s trying to teach beginers but it feel targeted towards people who know how to make a magic circle and i trying to improve them not learn from scratch also for you i suggest learning chains and single crochets before magic rings because that’s what i did and this is still very confusing

[@sneakypuppy6778]

but it is easier to comprehend sort of what she’s talking about

[@zareien2290]

@@sneakypuppy6778 I later found some videos by the Woobles, and their videos are very clear!

[@julieharris146]

But if you don't know what a slip knot, single crochet or any other basic stitch is then you need to start with learning those before moving on to something that is more than basic. Need to learn how to do the chain before doing anything else. This video isn't meant to teach how to do the most basic stitch. There are many, many tutorials to learn to crochet.

[@zareien2290]

@@julieharris146 it's part of starting the magic circle. Starting a magic circle can be explained in a single sentence without video if you already know everything else. But they made a video to make it accessible to beginners. In addition, how am I supposed to learn those things if I haven't gotten the information on how to START a piece??? Crochet is not something you can start at step 5 and then learn step 1 afterwards The videos by the Woobles are VERY clear in their video in this topic, both with their terminology and their actions in the video. I recommend to the creator to check out some of those videos to see how they can make their tutorial more beginner friendly

[@angel_bonzai]

I'm so glad I finally seen another person holding the yarn that way. I thought I was the only one. Marking the last stitch makes sense too. Will have to try that. Thank you for a great video!

[@FalseBubbles]

Hehehe definitely have been told it is improper but who cares!!! Happy to have someone in the same club 🥰

[@teresaworth6008]

Thank you so much🎉. Still working on it😢, but with your instructions, I'll get it! 😊

[@gennystansel1145]

Thanks. I totally get it now.

[@queencleo1151]

Unbelievable!!! This is how I've been doing it... Good to see that I'm not weird in the way I make my magic loop 🤭

[@tracywalker5431]

Definitely the best & easiest way to make a MC! Thank you so very much!

[@jonibergmeier854]

I’m so glad you were going slow with it all of the other ones I have found go so fast with it I give up

[@AnnaWillo]

for folks who are struggling: highly recommend slowing the video down and zooming in (I watch these on my phone while crafting and you can just pinch to zoom in on the KZbin app on Android)

[@hjhghuhgsj]

omg thanks, i didn't even realize we could zoom in until i read this

[@charlottequist8327]

Easiest of all videos. Thank you!

[@qilinlin2744]

... DID I JUST FIND A VIDEO THAT HELPS ME CROCHET BETTER?!!!!! OMG TYSM!!!!!EKEKEKKEKEK IM SO EXCITEDDDDD

OH MY GOSH I GOT IT! it’s literally so easy once you realize it

Don’t u will get it never quit

[@user-ct3vf3gd6d]

It really is hard and most times mine are way too loose.

NOOOOO DONT DO IT!

[@yourhappygirl.]

I still haven’t learnt this yet but DONT QUIT

[@Cat52342]

Aww it’s ok you just suck 😂😢😅

[@dantosinferne]

Im on the hunt for the best technique for a magic circle. I love making plushies so i make them all the time but the way i do it is so awkward for me and takes me so long. Like 2 minutes usually. Fairly, half the time my yarn doesnt want to pull closed (chenille lol) but still! Thats way too much time to start a plush! Thank you

[@butterfly-mi1mr]

Thank you I had a realy hard time getting haw to make it and now I finally got it it was really easy I hope I can make plushies now

[@AmeenaBarakeh]

Subscribed for sure 👍👍

[@melissale7971]

So basically this method makes it easier to see the first sc stitch in the circle instead of having it mushed together with the slip knot if we did it that way if I’m understanding? Great video as always Megan!

[@FalseBubbles]

Hey Melissa!!!! The Slip knot method is a bit different and there is a time and place for the slip knot (or I like to call it the "Ch 2 and Single crochet in 2nd Ch from hook" method! LOL. I am a magic circle kinda gal but sometimes the slip knot is a little better for chunky yarn so you don't break the yarn by tugging and it tends to lay flatter!

[@melissale7971]

@@FalseBubbles Oh no, I never got the hang of the slip knot method so I will just avoid forever and stick with the circle that I know and love 😂

[@FalseBubbles]

@@melissale7971 hard agree 😂

[@_keilani_]

Omg thx

[@Burnrate]

For me if you brought the camera way closer to the work that would be so much more helpful

[@dee.c1107]

Thank you so very much for this Megan (I hope I spelled your name correctly). This made my life easier and so as my daughter's. ❤

[@teresaworth6008]

After watching multiple videos of people doing the MC, this one was by far the easiest. I guess it depends on how your brain is wired as to what's easiest and what's not. You keep going girl!❤

[@GM_Flynx]

Perfect.

[@CrochetRagekitties]

BRO WHAT THE HECK WHY IS THIS SO HARD IVE LITERALY RAGE QUIT LIKE 4 TIMES NOW

[@badappleart7589]

I want one person to do slow motion close up. This is so frustrating as someone who's never picked up a crochet needle in her life.

[@Sara_and_Keaton]

I swear I can never find any tut that helps me at all. I cnat

[@heatherweaver841]

Can you make a pattern for the Korok in the background 🙏🏻

[@flobz7465]

it doesn’t matter how hard i pull it won’t close and when it did there was a loop

This was the most confusing one ever😂

[@Br0ken_B0ne]

I give up this is si hard ive watched so many tutorials videos etc but i just dont get it

[@JillyMae89]

I have to do mine with 2 chains I have no idea why but I screw it allllll up if I only chain 1 😂

[@FalseBubbles]

The chain 2 method is different! The reason why one chain doesn't work is because you are putting the yarn back through the loop you just made... Essentially un-crocheting it.

[@Ellmarie29]

I GIVE UP😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Moonlightlove31]

This is how I’ve always been doing MC I’m so confused 😂

I just started & can’t do it

Never mind😅😅

I am sooooooo bad it was sooooo hard

[@ruby_ivy]

it's a great tutorial, but im actually stupid and have been sat on my bed crying for about 20 minutes, whenever I try to do it it just unravels the whole thing 😭

Oh no!!! Be patient with yourself. It will click! I promise. Definitely lock down your slip knot before you try this one!
