Magic Ring Tutorial (Updated)

In this video, I show you two different methods on starting a magic ring. This technique is for crocheting amigurumi and projects that require crocheting in the rounds.
Method 1 begins at 0:24
Method 2 begins at 3:38

I've watched sooo many tutorials today, still couldn't get through the first stitch. I already gave up on crochet forever, but then this video came up. I watched it one time and actually did it. I'm so happy. You guys please don't give up. You'll get to it, even if takes you two hours like me

[@Cora_gacha-offical]

OMG sameeeeee!!!

[@bokiemuffin3729]

i'm literally crying and throwing up bc i cant do it ive tried so many timessss

[@emmao6578]

@@bokiemuffin3729 I'm sure you'll find a video example that'll make it click for you and if not you shouldn't worry too much because there are very few things in crochet where you actually need to do a magic ring. Look up what to do instead of magic rings and you should find several options. The magic ring only features in most patterns because it's one of those weird things that's initially really confusing but once it clicks it's actually easier than the alternative options.

[@donnaoneill1269]

Don't give up do it old school!!

[@Uahagwyabanjanah]

2 hours? I’m giving up. It’s been a year and I still can not do it.

[@MrsSM-fe1hr]

I've gone through 6 videos where they all skipped through chaining the loop. You are the first to show it plain and simple and now thanks to you I can make a magic ring.

[@thaloblue203]

YES! Thank fucking god someone showed it. I've been stupidly redoing the old method for an hour now.

[@treasure2148]

Same me too. Im so glad i finally made it right

[@icebluq]

Thank you! I finally get it!

[@danonation6355]

literally 😭😭😭

[@averyflesher4367]

FINALLY A GOOD MAGIC CIRCLE TUTORIAL!!!!!! you went slowly and very clearly!!! Everyone else goes very fast and I’ve watched 18 different tutorials this past two days. Been on the verge of tears.

[@payal7136]

Literally the first time I've been able to make a magic ring after a whole year of crocheting, thank you!

[@moma7252]

Followed along easily and it worked the first time! You were slow, clear, and precise (the three things we need in tutorials like this). Thank you so much.

[@margiea.uhlemeyer560]

I, TOO, WATCHED WAY TOO MANY MR VIDEOS ONLY TO GET SO FRUSTRATED THAT I HAD QUIT FOR THE DAY. TODAY I STARTED OVER WITH VIDEOS AND FOUND YOURS. YOU ARE SO PERFECT WITH INSTRUCTIONS, SLOWLY MOVING THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO SLOW VIDEO DOWN TO WATCH. I HAVE PLACED YOUR VIDEO IN MY CROCHET STITCHES FOLDER AND WILL CONTINUE TO GO THRU YOUR VIDEOS TO FIND MORE ON STITCHES THAT MIGHT CONFUSE ME OR THAT I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A SUPERB INSTUCTIVE VIDEO.

[@jamieloonam1]

I’ve watched a number of tutorials on the magic ring, and yours is the first I can figure out. THANK YOU!!

[@krisjugan2033]

Method 2 is now my favorite way to make the magic circle. It starts out exactly how I make my slipknot. Thank you!

[@van-islanders9686]

A magic loop *is* just a big open slip knot 😉

[@megandjasper]

I like that too! It's easier to see what's happening

[@harrysasscheeks]

This was probably the only crochet video I ever understood like I watched so many and nothing clicked but this one was so straight forward I love you.

[@user-db6jw9tp1y]

I almost gave up on being able to make a magic ring. Thank you for this perfect tutorial!

[@Ello4754]

I’ve watched around 10 videos today trying to understand how to make a magic circle but always ended up knotting up the yarn with the first stitch. This Video helped me understand what to do on the first play through without needing to rewind at all! I loved this and got it on my first try

[@imeldavisitacion1584]

Thank you second method, amazingly simple and easy to follow.

[@lovelyjunk7048]

Thank you so much for making this video! I almost lost my hope on mastering Magic Ring, when I found it. If you are able to, please, create more tutorials, that's totally your thing.

[@vivienleell]

I have been struggling to make a magic circle until I saw your second method. Thank you for sharing this!

[@ElizabethDobson]

I’ve been trying to crochet the magic ring for two months and this is the one that worked, thank you so much

[@MJCarlosHelloYellowYarn]

Glad I could help!

[@honeycakesx4976]

I've watched a ton of tutorials and none of them ever helped a ton like this one. I gave up crochet for a few months because of my inability to make magic circles. When I was finally able to make one, I burst out in tears and finally felt accomplished. I guess I really just needed something like this to help 💗

[@tameraskeans4269]

Finally!! I have had absolute fits trying to get the magic circle started on all other tutorials. Came across your tutorial and somehow your second method just clicked. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

[@scotty9110]

Thank you I was getting so frustrated about the holes in my first layer when starting. Updated video is much better.

[@jennyirwin4373]

I've been looking for a video that I can recommend to my students at my beginning amigurumi classes. Yours is the first to show method 2, which is easier and less scary for many people. Thanks so much for including it! I will be sending my students to this video.

[@MJCarlosHelloYellowYarn]

Hi there! No problem, glad I could help!

[@ratonoralo4358]

THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE WATCHED SO MANY TUTORIALS FOR LITTERALLY MONTHS BUT YOUR VIDEO WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HELPED ME!! thanks a lot

[@julieturias1377]

Omgg this is so helpful its not even a joke she says everything clearly and takes her time. Thank you so much for thiisss.

[@cmthompson1]

Thank you so much for the alternative start! I just don’t have the dexterity for the traditional start and have struggled for so long to get the magic ring because of it. It’s such a simple break down and change. Thank you!

[@yeoman2k1]

Thankyou!!! Finally a video that actually shows you how to make a start with the magic circle crochet stiches and not just how to tie a slip knot with a loop!!

[@lc8916]

I finally succeeded in making a magic ring using method 2. I’m so happy. Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial!

[@aquasnake08]

I've never been able to do the magic ring and I've probably watched dozens of tutorial videos on how to do it and always got so frustrated with it I ended up going with the chain two method for a while. But after trying your second method I was FINALLY able to do it!! Thank you so much! You made it look so easy and did it so slow in a way that I could fully see what you were doing! No longer will I struggle with it! Thank you so much again!! ❤

[@icharades]

THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO LEARN HOW TO DO THE MAGIC RING! THANKS!

[@kwiggy1]

This is the best video! I looked at a bunch of others that did not explain it well. Thank you!

[@nataliestewart6706]

this is the most easiest slip not i have ever seen where my fingers dont feel so akward at all. thank you for this tutorial

[@patricia6809]

So glad to see you back with new content!! Thanks!

[@sm2057]

I finally found a video to properly learn how to do the magic ring. THANK YOU EVER DO MUCH!

[@lindajeffrey9646]

Oh wow! I am left handed and new at crocheting. I've been watching tutorials on and off for weeks trying to learn the magic loop. Found your method 2 and after trying just a few times I am ready to go. Thank you so much!

[@dahyana]

I just came across your old magic ring video and it was the best explained one I have come across that I feel comfortable following. Thank you so much!

[@jasminesolomon9596]

You are a life saver!! I've been looking up on tutorials for two days and this video just made my day. Thank you soo much💞💞

[@pissyjo1213]

Thank you so much. I have had nothing but problems with this magic ring. You were the first to explain it so I could understand what I needed to do.

[@AngelOfU2]

I can never remember how to do a Magic Ring. Thankfully your video is super clear and easy to follow . Thank you so much!

[@glodas3218]

Thank you! ive gone through so many tutorials trying to figure this out with most tutorials using the first method. the second method was so much easier for me to figure out

[@carriehandy4247]

Thank you for the update! I followed your original magic ring tutorial, but I find the second method easier.

[@b.stocker4900]

Thank you so much for Method 2, so much easier to do. Your teaching method so very clear. I'm saving this in case I need a reminder. LOL

[@izziesc9403]

Thank you so much - watched a ton of videos before I got here, this is the only one that made sense!

[@smellyellie3806]

thank you so much for this!!!! i wasn't able to get the technique down but you really helped me!!!! much love!

[@rain2932]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Every other one I looked at showed how to make the loop but didn't explain how to crochet into it. This was so helpful!

[@barbarahorner5399]

Thank you! you are slow with each demonstration which is an enormous help. If I had a teacher like you in school I would have been a more successful student. I can’t express my appreciation enough. So a very humble thank you. PS: I’m using flimsy DK yarn making this more difficult because the yarn splits. But I AM going to master this.

[@kandala80]

Thank you so much for this. Nice, slow, clear. This is the only video of many that I got it right the first time and complete a magic circle. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@joycehiew5491]

Thank you so much. This is the best magic ring tutorial I have seen!

[@esoteric.alignment]

Three years later and its still the best tutorial! Thank you! 🎉

[@thatskyciel3067]

[@sunhopark7016]

[@bunnymoth7794]

Thank you so much for showing how to chain the stitches on, i was able to make the loop properly but couldnt figure out how to actually get the stitches on it the right way until this video!

[@loudaconnoway]

Watched about 10 other videos and finally got it right with yours! Thank you :)

[@valentinarios5348]

i´ve watched many tutorials and i didn´t understand a thing but this tutorial explained everything clearly and now i made a crochet magic ring :3 thank you so much for your explanation

[@ladyjcreates22]

Finally! I've been trying to learn this stitch since I started and thanks to you I finally got it!

[@ol3291]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU, not a single one of the past 5 tutorials I've watched ever mentioned crocheting OVER THE TAIL as well, and that's how we get it to close when we tug

[@lindasummerville4431]

Excellent Thank you! Best and most thorough demo I’ve seen. 👏👏👏

[@vanessacirilo9612]

yep, got it on your video, really helpful. I went through 8 videos before this one, and had to keep trying, got this one on my first time. Thank you!

[@pidgeeeey364]

Thxxx!! Best tutorial from the dozen ones I saw. Thxx! I gotta do this for school however they sent the worst video clips and I gotta find my own when I saw yours - it’s perfect! Well done!

[@sonnie1680]

[@ItsChilly-hk4cm]

Oml I spent all of yesterday watching videos on this and none of them told me to loop in through the ring and single stitch. Finally got it and thank youuuuu!

[@ariirodd1122]

thank you!! you demonstrated both methods so well i picked it up very fast!!

[@paulaortega3756]

Finally! A video that is slow enough to comprehend what the steps are! Thank you!

[@haileystaiger7323]

Thank you!!! Method 2 is my favorite but most videos only show method 1

[@brynkleekerlin5438]

Aaah thank you It took me about a dozen tries but I finally got it😁

[@pigeon9842]

Thank you so much!! I was able to follow along and easily learn how to do this technique!

[@sophiab8143]

GOLD STAR THE ONLY VIDEO THAT HELPED ME !!!

[@CarolynBough]

This was a great tutorial - Method 2 (at 3:38) is my new favorite!

[@Colinupham]

Your video was the best for me to understand. I like the second method the best. THANK YOU!

[@monelleny]

Thank you for this video! The second way is easy, but I had a terrible time trying to make it using the first way, which is what most videos show. I tried over and over and over, but could not get it to work. Then I noticed that in your video, you said that the working yarn had to be in the back. That was the clue to my whole problem. If you try the first method holding the short end in your right hand, it gets twisted in such a way that you can't use it. So again, thank you!

[@lillianjaho3199]

Wow, once i finished it i couldnt beloeve i had just made a mr after all the failed attempts. Thank you so much!!

[@jennyallan8794]

Thank you so much for sharing, I can Now Do The Magic Loop 🎉🎉👏👏🤩 Yay ! You make so easy to follow Thank you again .
