How to Crochet the ALTERNATIVE MAGIC RING or CIRCLE

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Did this video help you? Let me know below

[@donnayarbrough8500]

Good to know there is an alternative.

[@char8059]

Hi Nikki: I was previously able to use a magic ring but then broke my pinky finger on my left hand last year. This has caused me to have to change the way I hold my yarn and it made making the magic ring nearly impossible. I tried your alternative method and it works great! I think it even looks better than a lot of my magic rings did! Thank you so much for sharing this method. Now I feel confident in crocheting things in the round again, knowing that the hole in the center will be nice and closed up! 🙂

[@annaroseannadanna1]

Been doing it this way for 50 yrs. never could get the hang of the magic ring.

[@dorisphillips523]

Definitely! I had despaired of ever being able to make a magic ring, so am delighted to find your alternative. Thank you very much.

[@vivianbelderes9064]

no what dose this mean

[@janicegoodwin2034]

Oh how wonderful I found you. That magic ring is just beyond me. Nerve racking! Thank you so much. I love your alternative to the magic circle!

[@jaydenlee5477]

Thanks for showing us this. There r so many projects i want to make but don't because of the dreadful magic ring.

[@abbiedelacruz3638]

I Know! It’s annoying

[@lougagne47]

I really have trouble making a magic ring, so this one is so very helpful. Thank you, Nicki.

[@elisecreations]

Thank you, I cannot do a magic circle no matter how many videos I watch and try. This method works so much better.

[@lynnluther8275]

Yes, very helpful. There are just days I can not make a MR. Like today Thanks bunches Keep gettin' hooked!!!

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad it was helpful

[@hazelfujimoto138]

This was helpful, since I’m not that great with a magic circle. Thank you. ☺️

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

I'm so glad you think so. Do you know someone who might need to see this?

[@deborahjacobs2664]

Thank you so much for this video! It seems much easier now! I have finally made 1 magic circle by accident and Janet in my new group posted this for me to see! Wow! I have a little time before work to try this again! Thank you!!!

[@wvjmat1]

Deborah, I hope this helped you. This week, while waiting for my turn for a lab test, I was crocheting and a woman nearby asked, "Is that a pumpkin?" I told her yes, I've become obsessed with making them. She said she crocheted too and was excited that she finally learned to make the magic ring, but with difficulty. I told her about this video and had to quickly find it before my name was called. Yes, seconds later my name was called and I said, "just a minute, I have to find something for this woman." she must have thought I was nuts.

[@Mjollyqd]

I was taught this way when I first started crocheting in 1975. Though I do not tied the knot.

[@robinlewis2451]

I needed this.God Bless you. I never s. Say anything ever but Thank you I can

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad it was helpful

[@SparkiMcSparks]

Thank you! I just couldn't connect my brain to my fingers with the magic ring. Your video saved me!!!

[@donnayarbrough8500]

What a great alternative!! So easy to make.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad you say that 😍

[@abbiedelacruz3638]

Thank you thank you thank you! This helped so much I suck at magic rings and I was able to do this one on the first try! ❤

[@maryalvord2112]

Amazing I do have trouble with the magic circle. I’ll try your method. Thanks

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad it was helpful 😀

[@connied2795]

I don't have a problem with doing one but usually do it with double because I don't want it to come undone. But I had a thought while watching this, doing it like this would be good for messy buns or scrunchies that start with crocheting around an elastic. If you carried the yarn like that around and just didn't pull it tight, then if the elastic breaks, the article won't fall apart you could just thread more elastic through and would be good as new.

[@anitastevensdavis4402]

Wonderful information and I'll be using this from now on.

The link for the tutorial does not go to the tutorial. Goes to your web site with an error 404.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Thanks for letting me know. I just fixed it. Here is the link also: www.nickishomemadecrafts.com/crochet-alternative-magic-ring/

[@lorettasinclair919]

Thank you so much now I want have the hole in the middle i don't trust the magic circle

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

I hope you can trust this version 😊

[@char8059]

Me, too. I don't trust the magic circle, but this one seems extra secure. I think it will really stay closed!

[@Kathkanso]

🙏🏽

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Glad it was helpful 😘Do you know someone who might need to see this?

[@kimreamey3580]

I love the magic circle. Don't do the chains anymore.

[@ritatadros3764]

T this video didn't help at all I thought it would be a good way to not do the magic circle but you did it so fast I am a starter so I didn't really know what to do and this didn't help me at all..

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

I’m sorry to hear that. KZbin does give you the ability to slow it down. Hope that helps ❤️
