An Alternative to the Magic Ring - The "Magic Tail" 🧶🤩

[@madmommy]

THANK YOU! I can make a magic loop with the “beginner yarn” for my amigurumi, but not regular weight 4 yarn and I desperately want to try your granny squares. It took me a few tries but I have the hang of it now 😊❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That’s wonderful! I’m glad you got the hang of it 😀👏🏻💕💕💕

[@ClubCrafteria]

Great idea of making this. This helps most of them to do the magic ring in alternative way. Lovely share.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you !

Hi there Where did you get that lovely sun pattern from (I couldn't find it on the Hobbycraft link below)? Thank you.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

www.hobbycraft.co.uk/ideas/knitcraft/granny-square-month-cal-2020. I decided not to make it "fuzzy" like the original pattern. Square 10

Seeing your blocks in the background...will you be doing a tutorial on what your making? 😆The colors look amazing! Thanks for the video.

Yes! I need to try this when I get some practice yarn. (Started weaving before I started crocheting, so I have velvet yarn. Very texture sensitive. And OCD. Are there any yarns that are soft but cheap?) I'm making scarves for my grandma and brother figure.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m sure you can find some soft affordable yarns. Most synthetic yarns are inexpensive. Chunky baby blanket yarns are pretty good for scarves . Bernat baby blanket comes to mind. The balls are big so you could get a scarf made with one ball. The velvet yarn you have sounds perfect though.

Can we please see you do the sun square pls

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Here is the pattern I adapted back in 2020. I will add to the list but this is where I started and decided to not make it fluffy. www.hobbycraft.co.uk/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-hobbycraft-uk-master/default/dwb09bb04c/Ideas/pdfs/knitcraft/granny-square-month-cal-2020%7CSquare%208%20Pattern%20Download.pdf

This trick really worked because whenever I do a magic circle I always fail lol

[@PlayHookywithMe]

🤣🧶💕

[@debannas4567]

For some reason, I’ve never been able to master a magic ring… 😱and quite frankly, I’d rather do the 3-4 chain method👍🤭

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I get that, I really do. This technique is the best of both worlds 👍🏻🧶💕
