Just here to echo what everyone else is saying: "FINALLY" is the perfect title word for this video. FINALLY my magic ring worked. Thank you very much! Well worth the 8-minute watch.

[@squishyandco]

That’s awesome to hear! I’m so glad it worked for you.

[@grammy5884]

Saved this tutorial because it is the best one I have watched. Thank you!

[@squishyandco]

That’s so awesome! Glad you liked it!

[@rlarviso]

The clearest and easiest tutorial to follow for the double strand magic ring also known as the magic loop. Thank you!

[@squishyandco]

I’m so glad you found it helpful!

[@rlarviso]

@@squishyandco I really did!

[@roundknittles]

Cant tell you how many ML tutorials ive watched over time. The technique never stuck in my brain ‘til now. Thank you thank you thank you !

[@squishyandco]

Oh, this makes my heart sing! So glad you found this helpful!

[@kathleendechellis5001]

Thank you!!!!! The best "magic" tutorial, and I have watched many!

[@squishyandco]

I’m so happy to hear that!

[@clairewright6697]

Great! I can now work on getting the loop tight, thank you 😊

[@virginiawilliams9998]

What a wonderful sturdy ring, it looks like it will last forever. I can do a magic ring but not with a double loop such as you demonstrated so well! Thank you!

[@squishyandco]

You’re welcome! 😊

[@shaynaformity1384]

Thank you! The tip about how to find which strand to pull first is genius.

[@squishyandco]

Yes! Learning that was a game changer for me!

[@mkmartin559]

amen!

[@jacquieGregor]

I have NOT been able to get this MC until now. THANK YOU! You are a fabulous teacher.

[@squishyandco]

That is so sweet of you to say! Thank you! I’m so glad this worked for you!

[@jamieconn8827]

Bless you for making this video. I can finally make the magic ring!

[@squishyandco]

Aw thank you! I’m so glad it helped!

[@tootsiequilt]

I have been crocheting for over 50 years and have watched many tutorials on how to do the "magic ring". All have frustrated me and I gave up. I almost passed your tutorial by, but decided to give it a chance. Hooray! This is the first time I have made it and it worked! Thank you so much! 💓

[@squishyandco]

This makes me so happy to hear!

[@kaystinyhouse]

THANK YOU! I was struggling so much where whenever I tightened, it turned into a big knot. Thank you for breaking it down so clearly.

[@squishyandco]

Yay! That part was a game changer for me too!

[@ineshughley7317]

Thank you for your very clear and helpful tutorial.

[@squishyandco]

You’re so welcome! I’m glad it helped! 🎉

[@cheryls4526]

100% great. I have been faking the making of this and now, I don't know what it was you did but done broke on marble head and I'm happy. Saving.. I don't have to be afraid any more.

[@ErinAndParker]

I’ve been struggling with the magic loop for almost a month, and it finally clicked with your video!!! Thank you so much!!

[@squishyandco]

Yay! 🥳 I’m so glad this helped!

[@believeinkindness4854]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you!

[@squishyandco]

You're very welcome!

[@aroha4358]

Im a beginner like this is my first ever trying to do this and mine finally worked after fifth try... tho its still far from perfect... will practice more. Thanks for the tutorial :))

[@squishyandco]

It definitely takes practice, but you’ll be a pro in no time! I’m glad it helped!

[@divetoazure]

I am still struggling with basic chaining but this tutorial makes me hopeful that I will be able to do magic loops super easily in the future!

[@squishyandco]

You’ll be chaining and magic looping in no time, I’m sure! I’ll be adding new videos soon, and I’ll be sure to put chains on my list!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

Very clear. TYFS!!

[@squishyandco]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ADHDirt]

Perfect❤

[@squishyandco]

Thank you! ❤️

[@marysieders8166]

Thanks!

[@squishyandco]

You bet!

[@chelliespider]

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a reason for using this double loop method rather than a single loop? I've figured out the single loop method through another technique and it seems to work fine, but maybe I'm not understanding the advantage of it.

[@squishyandco]

That's a great question! It really just boils down to personal preference, because they both get the job done. Over time and with use, the single loop can come loose leaving you with holes where you didn't want them. (Learned this the hard way.) You can combat that by being diligent in how you weave in your tail. With the double loop, you still have to weave in the tail, but it really only takes one quick loop back in the other direction. I don't like weaving in ends, so I go with the double loop.

[@chelliespider]

@@squishyandco Thanks so much for the fullness of your reply! I hate weaving in ends too, but I tend to be paranoid about weaving back and forth to secure things. So it makes sense that a single loop works similarly to this method for me. Appreciate it. 🙏

[@susanconniry9247]

Thank you!

[@squishyandco]

You bet! 😁

[@theresaferguson6735]

First time I have ever was able to do the magic circle.

[@squishyandco]

I’m so happy this helped! 🥳

[@aminayusuf2491]

I like this method but I have difficulty understanding it. Now I can do it.

[@squishyandco]

That’s fantastic! I’m so glad this helped! 🎉

[@cheryls4526]

Have been practicing but that tail does not land in the right place between the two threads on the left side, it seems it's twisting and I'm not sure if that is right because when I go to pull on it, neither threads, get tight?

[@squishyandco]

Hey there! Sometimes the tail does twist around the two loops and I like to untwist it so the tail hangs free. That usually makes it easier to see which loop is tightening.

[@cheryls4526]

@@squishyandco ok I will do that. I thought it was supposed to twist and that was why I couldn’t get it to work a second time

[@AliStenPlayz]

i made magic ring lol

[@squishyandco]

That’s so awesome! 🤩

[@Rubygeee]

I’m the only one who can’t do it? Ok.

[@squishyandco]

Hey there! Where are you getting stuck?

[@mkmartin559]

You're definitely not the only one. It's supposed to be so simple but I've been struggling to make the magic ring for months. This video actually pushed me into the "eureka! It works!" zone. Keep trying - magic ring seems worth it for many crochet applications, called for more often than a foundation chain in amigurumi and such. (I'm a beginner.)

[@Rubygeee]

@@squishyandco the whole thing lol from the beginning

[@squishyandco]

@@Rubygeee LOL! Totally fair. Try searching for videos on the single loop method (this one is double loop.) I learned the single loop first. Just be sure to weave in your ends really well with the single loop because they tend to loosen up if not.

[@angieh3036]

Thank you🙏 This actually the second video I have seen that makes sense❤❤❤🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶

[@squishyandco]

Awesome! 🥳🥳🥳
