How to crochet the magic ring

In this video, you'll learn how to crochet a magic ring or magic loop. This is a great technique, as it lets you start a piece in the round with no hole in the middle, which is perfect for stuffing your toy with fiberfill. If you're new to crochet, it might take a few tries to get the magic ring right, so don't get frustrated. Just pay close attention to not just what your hook is doing, but also the magic loop itself - you need to keep it stable so that it doesn't twist, otherwise the magic part at the end (pulling on the yarn tail) won't work.

The BEST of all the instructions for the magic circle!

[@spitfire57whaley35]

You explain the magic ring better than the 7 others I have watched. Thank you.

[@mirandatav]

I've learned to crochet along with my 9 year old daughter! Thank you! My daughter and I would like to know how to tie a knot in the magic ring so that it won't come undone. The kits come with that knot after the magic ring and it is helpful if you misstep on the first few rounds.

[@izzy-x4n]

yes!! i was wondering that too.

[@directiioonner]

I saw like 8 different tutorials and still couldn't get it right. You are a life saver

[@BhavyaKataria-rd7wo]

I tried a DIY kit...failed miserably...the yarn frays and just cannot be knitted after a few failed attempts.My prestarted loop also got frayed coz I couldn't do the other lines properly....very very difficult...Hats off to people who could pull this off

[@alwayshungry4ever]

Am I the only one here because I bought my fist kit of Woobles however it didn't come with a pre-started piece ? bruh anyhow, took me a few tries but I got my hands on the magic loop. thank you

[@user-iq3xu6np4t]

Mine came with a pre started piece, but I took it apart like two years ago because I had no idea what it was. Glad you figured it out though!

[@reannonhay1989]

I always get so confuesed during watching these videos! I cant find a single one that helps. Its like no matter how slow they go i cant figure it out!😢😢😭😭😭😭

[@ellayen4783]

If you get confused on videos, you should find written instructions

[@Jen_RSV4]

This tutorial helped me understand! I found this Woobles video after searching and viewing a dozen different crotchet Magic Circle videos from as many content creators. Each person had a slightly different way to make these circles in their videos, but I couldn't ever remember any one way, and I always twisted my stitches in the first chain I made around the circle without understanding my circle didn't pull closed because of my stich twisting in the chain stich I was making around the circle. Only this Woobles tutorial video made any mention reminding not to twist or to be mindful not to twist the chain (the single crochet of 6 stitches, don't twist, don't mix up by doing an over when you should be doing under. Keep the tail on the left. ... This is what I have made as reminder Ed for my own ways but only figured it out after the Woobles tutorial). For anyone who is starting out, keep watching tutorials. Over and over. Practice it one tutorial over and over. Crochet has to create new muscle memory. Not just one tutorial, not just one content creator, video clicked, it took watching several from different people, one or could be many videos later, but watch repeat until you don't have to think about it much and that helped me so I wish to let you know it's OK and may take a few repeating it for you to get it . Or maybe it doesn't, it's OK too. Sometimes different videos will help click for you. This Wobble video helped me, but I can't say it would have if it was the only magic circle tutorial I watched. It helped after I seen many and in the collection of knowledge from all, this one filled in the voids of my own learning. Woobles... THANK YOU FOR TUTORIALS! Anyone struggling, hey if you want to keep going... you got this! You'll get it! ... Took me days. 😆

[@MaisyTalerico]

This is the ONLY video I actually understand 😭🙏 thank you so much!

Can you tag me in a good one or tell me I’m so confused

[@Gigi_dragoncatz]

This is NOT EASY i’ve seen 100’s of other tutorials that are better. This is complicated, not for beginners!

[@honeylemon06]

and i don't get how y'all are confused 😭 at least this video tells you how to find the first stitch. the first time i made a magic ring i was so confused where to put the sl st to end my row. the only thing different here is how this person holds the yarn, everything else is essentially the same as any other tutorial.

I’ve watched 100’s of these videos and this one makes the most sense to me. Maybe we all just learn differently? 😊

Great Vid! Easy to understand and excellent for beginners! Though if skipping wasn't a thing it would drive me mad as someone with even just the basics of crochet knowledge

[@furpaw]

This is clear and helpful. However, one question: why do you use such a short tail? It doesn't look like it will be long enough to secure it by weaving in with a back-and-forth technique.
