Crochet DOUBLE Magic Circle / Ring (STRONG & SECURE!)

[@HookedbyRobin]

Magic Rings - do you love them or hate them? 😅

[@estetkaninen]

I used to hate them cause I thought they were so difficult but now I made them so many times that I don’t mind them anymore 😂

[@francaperotti5934]

They look complicated to me

[@rosesmile1362]

Love them! They provide the best finishing look for working in the round! Thanks a lot for another great tutorial ❤

[@portia74]

I love them now! Once I figured it out I fell in love with them! I'm now anxious to try yours now! Got to hurry up & finish my current project so I can try it!! Tysm!!!

[@rushiaj1222]

I used to think they were complicated but once you do them a few times it becomes second nature. I like magic circles because they’re really secure

[@heathercombs9217]

I make magic rings all the time. I love this double magic ring tutorial! Honestly I watch it every time I need to make a double. Thank you Robin!

[@maybebuffalo6049]

I've been using the regular magic circle for years and had never thought about doing a double. Thanks for this tutorial, one is never too old to try something new. Just to emphasise what is being said here - leave long tails, weave in ends, and weave them in securely, minimum 3 ways.

[@Kimbermoi]

Okay, now I'm terrified for all of my previous projects that used the magic ring. I've never had them come apart simply because I weave in the end, which only makes sense. Now I'm afraid they are still going spontaneously all fall apart at once! LOL Thanks for the video. 🙋‍♀️💞🤗

[@HookedbyRobin]

I've only had one spring open and that was after quite a lot of abuse and washing 😂 I'm sure yours will be safe LOL

[@raymondmicallef2523]

You are the best on the net .you are super super . I am 71 years old and no one can show me like you. GOD bless you .and take care1😍

[@TheMouseOnTheRight]

I love that you take the time to explain and make it simple and easy to understand. That's the mark of a great teacher.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you! 🥰

[@jessicastevens5742]

Took me a moment to figure it out but got it. Been crocheting for 32 years and first tike doing double magic ring. Thank you for the very helpful video.

[@susanmukumi8500]

I avoided them like the plague until I did an amigurumi that required lots of them. Perservered through many a magic ring tutorial until I got the hang of them. Now I love them and use them often

[@thoughtsofjoyk]

I love the magic ring and never use the chain method. I’m a big time weaver of ends, though. I do the three time method (forward, backward and forward again). I have used the double magic ring a time or two. I really should make that a habit. Better safe, than sorry. You did a great job explaining and showing the method. 👍 Hope you and yours are safe and well.

[@Pitoonya]

Yes, magic ring is all I use! Can't wait to try this double one. I love all your tutorials. You explain everything so we'll, pleasant voice, some humor, and beautiful hands and nails! You're a great teacher. xxx

[@JsMomma7]

I am SO SO glad you did this video. I've watched it probably 50 times because I can't remember which loop to pull first. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!🧶😀🙏

[@maliseobanion2636]

I LOVE your tutorials! You have the best details in your instructions--and I love your happy voice and pretty accent! I try to mimic you when I am making my double magic circles!

[@sannie_0210]

This is the best tutorial on magic rings I have ever watched, I always had a problem with them coming undone even if I did weave in the ends, this video just saved me

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you, I’m pleased it helps!😃🧶

[@globalhikingcr]

This is the method that I learned several years ago to make the centre of crochet popcorn flowers for a throw. The first ones were a bit fiddly & I pulled on the wrong strand a few times 😰 -but I quickly gained confidence and now use this method exclusively for going in the round. Love your tutorial... As always, you explain things so well with good camera angles 👌🏼

[@stregarossa2112]

This is brilliant! I've been using the single magic ring and it would never stay tight. Like you said, once you get the hang of it... The ring stays in place!! ::angel choir singing::

[@samasonedderman]

Fabulous! I used to really hate them but I've tried this one and now, I think I'm a believer! Thanks, Stella

[@chrisarlington1792]

I love magic rings. Your explanation of the double magic ring is great. I like it the most.

[@1time4younme]

The magic circle has been a hit or miss for me, but this Double Magic Ring has just motivated me to want to give it another go. Thanks the tutorial. Very helpful!

[@LaurenHarrison-Short]

Always had issues with magic circle. This tutorial was perfect. Easy to follow and worked a charm! Thanks!

[@HookedbyRobin]

I’m glad it has helped, so many people find the magic circle tricky!🤗

[@8TwntyTwo]

I love the double magic circle, I’m going to try the magic (standard) circle and the double today at work. You explained this greatly! Thank you

[@HookedbyRobin]

You're so welcome, let me know how you get on.😀🧶

[@diamondcastillo4580]

Wow, I have crocheted for 15 years and just decided to try and upgrade my magic ring technique choice- found your video and it is SO HELPFUL! This made such a difference in my work. Thank you for making the lesson clear, concise, and simple to follow. 😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

I’m so glad it has helped, yay!😃🧶

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

The double magic circle has saved my sanity, the single just never played the game properly...thank you!!

[@SewardWriter]

Ahhhhh, thank you so much, Robin! Once again, you prove yourself a skilled, knowledgeable, and excellent teacher. I'm making a nylon doily to hang on my front door, and the regular magic loop just doesn't cut it. (As much as I love nylon thread and yarn for certain applications, it's the very devil to work with. Even cuts my fingers if I'm not careful. Love hurts.) Magic loops are absolutely integral to my use of crochet. I cannot work or design without them, to the point that I will modify existing patterns to use them wherever possible. If I ever start selling independent patterns, magic loop haters will descent upon my quiet suburban apartment complex with torches and pitchforks. (I really hope the inevitable smoke and blood come out of the carpet. My deposit can't take an angry mob.)

[@HookedbyRobin]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This video will be helpful to bookmark for later! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3_WdKJpYt1ghLc

[@oregonmusicfan9496]

Beautifully explained and demonstrated. By far the best tutorial I've seen on the magic ring. Thank you so much!

[@theramblingdreamer]

I'll admit I've never had a problem with the normal magic ring coming undone but with certain projects it is definitely better being safe than sorry and using the double magic ring. I watched another tutorial and found it fiddly but yours was much clearer and easier to understand so thank you very much!

[@plumechat]

I love magic rings. I use double magic rings for nearly all my projects that are crocheted in the round.

[@saracantello7417]

I’ve never succeeded with a magic ring before but your video was really easy to follow. Thank you so much.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I am so pleased it has helped Sara! 😃🤗

[@Tipsey_McStagger]

I really like the magic circle, especially since its really the only way I can get a Granny square started. I tried doing it with chains and it always went horribly wrong but today I followed your tutorial and I swear it is the magic ring that made it possible for me to make a Granny Square for the first time! So thank you very much for that!! 😁

[@HookedbyRobin]

It's quite hard to find that central ring section with chains - it can be a bit of a mare!

[@misssheri.d5254]

A very big thank you from a viewer from NZ. ❤ I have shared this video with friends and family, some who have been crocheting for over 30 years and have never come across a magic ring.

[@HookedbyRobin]

That is lovely to read, thank you so much for sharing and I’m glad it helps.😃🧶

[@howaun]

This is the best and effective magic ring that I ever learn. Thanks Robin. You are extremely amazing!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, thank you so much. I’m glad it helped.😃🧶

[@janettemcgregor5712]

I’ve had trouble with the magic ring (as well as) chaining 4 & connecting the two ends But after following this ... I DID MY FIRST MAGIC CIRCLE!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼

[@totally.not.arya_]

Congrats

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

The double magic circle is my favored method. Thank you for your clear instructions.

[@lisbethsjostrand5397]

- This is great! I didn't even know that the Magic Circle could come undone, that has never happened to me. Anyway, the double Magic Ring seems better. I'm going to change my magic circle, starting today. On my way to make a summer hat. (Hoping for sunny weather) Thank You for this video!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JulieAnnAdventures]

I've never had one come undone, either. I'm going to watch video not that I'm almost done reading messages!!

[@MrsBrownGnome]

I LOVE magic rings! They look so much neater and go together easily. You taught me well from the beginning. :)

[@ShawnLawson414]

Awesome. Don’t know how I missed this video. I have gone through all your videos so many times. Learn something new every day. After a year I had never heard of this.

[@gregoryvozar6236]

I’ve always been a CH3+join guy, BUT… this may just change that! Thanks for the fab tip!

[@jujuseducer6055]

Love it, especially when making granny squares and Amigurumi, as I find that everything is neater this way. Thanks for a more secure option.

[@denisethomas2437]

I have preferred magic rings ever since I first learned, and I am very excited to try this double magic ring. Thanks!

[@sandraouaguena9097]

I prefer the magic circle and I like the way you just did that in your tutorial!!! Thanks!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Glad you like it! 😀

[@marjoriemichelleeslinger7284]

I like doing the magic circle, but this is the first time I've seen the double magic circle. Ty 💜

[@mariamiguelalhambra1991]

I love the way you explain everything. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@juliemorley57]

Amazing! Thank you. I’ve started doing my magic rings this way and you explained it so well!

[@vadec5909]

Thank you Robin best tutorial for double magic ring!!!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, thank you! 😃🧶

[@pattiweller4553]

I love them and have learned to weave in ends multiple times on the traditional magic ring. I know this video has been out for a bit but I just found it and let out a big sigh of relief. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough.

[@MrMonet111]

Thank you. Doing my first granny square car blanket. Almost finished but glad I found this tutorial. GodBless.

[@hannahjaneheathson]

The best double magic circle tutorial I’ve seen! Your tutorials are always the best. Thank you! My hexi cardi should be super secure now 🎉🎉

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you!😃🥰

[@Eve.v]

oh my gosh, SUCCESS !! i really struggle with the magic ring because it can be really frustrating to make and throw off my tension. i'd also heard that magic rings can come undone, so i figured if i ever needed to learn it, i might as well make a double magic ring. and now i've done it !! it was a bit confusing figuring out which loop was which, but i did it, and it tightened so cleanly, and now it's done, and i'm so excited !! i will be coming back to this video many times until it becomes second nature, like making a slipknot. thank you !!!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yay, well done Eve!🥳 It will definitely become second nature before you know it.😀

[@jansisk8973]

I love the magic ring and use it all the time. I also always weave in the end by following weaving in the natural direction a little more, then go backward at least half way. I have not tried the double yet but love the idea and it will likely be my new go to! Thanks Robin!

[@HookedbyRobin]

It's a little bit more fiddly but totally worth it!

[@zoilarivera8866]

I finally got it! I’ve watch 5 videos and couldn’t do it, thanks for the easy to follow directions! Hugs🤗

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yay! Well done Zoila.😃😃

Thank you so much for this video! I was so confused on which ring to pull first, but you made it so easy to identify which one I want. Thanks again!

Yes I am the def magic circle fan, thank you so much for this double circle tutorial, I’ll be using this from now on & you teach very well 👍💜

[@jsummerwestman7458]

Love Magic Rings and always use them. Great video!

[@linhdoan9033]

Thank you so much for showing me how to close the magic ring that easy. Yayyyy

[@craftymath-chick]

Thank you! Definitely a Magic Circle fan - I like the look of a tight pucker in the center, and can only seem to achieve that with Magic Rings! :)

[@CharlaWainwright]

I’ve wasted so much time and yarn trying to make pretty daisy granny squares. All of my magic circles get sloppy by the time I finish the petals. It’s been driving me insane. I’ve tried different yarns, different hooks, more tension, less tension and using the chain method. This worked the very first time! I have all 12 petals on this daisy and the magic ring is still intact. I’m going to frame it. Thank you!

[@sleepyspacegremlin]

I had trouble learning this but I finally got it with your tutorial! Thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yay! I’m pleased the video helped Ash.😃🧶

[@kraftyiam]

Howdy, I came across you by chance when I saw a 'double mr' in a pattern and had to look it up and I found you. I use both ch/join and mc but use mc when I want a small/tight circle in the center. This double surely gives me a tight/closed circle. I'm loving it. Thank you for this. You have a new fan. Hope you and yours are well and safe! Happy Holidays.

[@creative2716]

♥️ magic ring, will def try double magic ring now. Also big fan of your tutorials 🌟🤜🤛 😷 Stay healthy and keep on hookin. ✌

[@fhewes7773]

Oh lordy,just starting out they were a pain in the booty ! If you had a snag and didn't realize it...the good ole magic ring would let you know because it wouldn't close ! Oh ROBIN 😭 Where were you when I needed you back then? 😂🤣 I have GOT to try the double though😍 Thanx hon🌹 You are such a smarty pants ! You ALWAYS come up with ALL the GREAT IDEAS❣️🌹 Much love ✌️❣️😊🌹❣️

[@BramblewoodCrafts]

I really wish I’d learnt this before I’d done my granny square cardigan of 42 squares!!! I had to go over them all again!

[@quirkyoppossum]

I love this method of making magic rings (like, the way you explained it in general, not specifically because of it being the double stranded one)! It's so much easier than any way I've seen it done before. I always get confused which way to lay the strands of yarn to make it so that you can actually pull it tight with the tail at the end. And this makes it so simple to understand with the way you just have it crossed over and looped around your fingers. I haven't used the double magic ring enough to know if I prefer that or single yet, but I'm looking forward to trying them both out more using the method you've shown here. Thanks for sharing!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re welcome, everyone definitely prefers doing it different ways but both is good too.😃🧶

[@bjlipas]

Thank you for this video!!! I have finally conquered closing the double magic ring!! ♡♡

[@GumboGirl13]

Thank you! As always, your videos are so well done, and your explanations are THE BEST!! I love magic rings. Had a hard time learning them, but I can nearly do them with my eyes closed. Most of my crochet is amigurumi. I will now start using the double magic ring as it will be more secure. Your video is so clear about the instructions to make it. ♥

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!😃

[@Smaragdpfote]

Lovely, thank you a million. I detested the magic circle, but I think I'm going to give them another chance. :p

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re welcome Franziska! Definitely give it another go.😃

[@lainyjane4581]

whoa, so smart, clever, helpful. i was always wondering if that tail should be in front or back when putting in dc and if that made a difference. i usually flipped it back out of my way. i really like the look of finished circle and HATE trying to cram a bunch of stitches into a too small hole, let alone, nothing to hold on to, and i have longer nails, which makes it harder as well. Thank you. just found that caron 'almond' big cake on sale at Michaels for $5.00. Yippie. i really liked. your tutorial & pretty blanket. course i had to buy more colors because of price. (which was NOT marked) gotta love 'clearance'.

I am a Magic Circle fan; thank you...🤗

[@Kellycreator]

You make it so simple to understand, after having several unsuccessful attempts from other channels I’ve mastered the “magick” ring. 😊. I worked on an up cycling project a while ago. I made skirt and bodice front from ironing plastic bags together with tissue paper and free machine embroidery over the top. My friend made the back of the bodice with Freeform crochet, it had lots of loopy chains and circles. I can see exactly how she made it now. Strangely I find crochet like making patterns on square paper by colouring in blocks. Is this something you use to create yours?

[@terriwhite9164]

Very slick. I definitely like!! Thank you for sharing!!
