I have seen WAY too many comments here about giving up crochet because you can’t get this magic circle. PLEASE understand that if you are an absolute beginner, you are not watching the right tutorial. You do not need to know the magic circle in order to learn crochet. Go through my FREE Learn to Crochet Masterclass here on KZbin if you are new to crochet 👉🏼 kzbin.info/aero/PLmobLoMZ1riTNFsxCena7K93Zsls6F2CF

Hello! I’m sorry you’re having trouble learning, but if you are in the beginning stages of learning how to crochet, then you’re not watching the right video. This video is just to learn how to do the magic circle and you don’t have to know how to do the magic circle if you’re just looking to learn. If you’re interested, I have a free masterclass that you can watch here. kzbin.info/aero/PLmobLoMZ1riTNFsxCena7K93Zsls6F2CF

[@ashwinibala7333]

I felt like that too for the heart

[@kalab6755]

You can do it! I finally made my first granny square today! I had to try like a million times, you got this!

[@luislandofficial]

There are so many other videos on here and ppl teach differently, take some time and watch others it might be easier the way someone else explains it. Good luck you can do it if I can 😆 ni hate on this video just we all learn differently 💜🖤

[@suzannedavis4996]

your saying the you had a hard time doing this gave me the confidence to keep trying!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yes! 🙌🏻 This was my goal. I’m so glad I was able to give you some encouragement. We just have to be patient with ourselves sometimes… or get mad and try again later 😂 You got this!

[@lindabrimmer1118]

I really like your tutorial. Thank you.

I have had the biggest tantrums all morning, watching so many different tutorials and simply not getting it. You have been a life saver. I’m now one step closer to making a little mushroom doll 😂❤️❤️

[@Camomile-fb7fu]

Thank you so much!!! 😊 I am not quite there but so far your video is the only one I have not been in tears over. It actually makes sense, you take the time to go through every single step. I had almost given up but now I think I am actually going to learn.

[@COMPERDOG]

OMG!!! I can't thank you enough! For the past three years I have been watching numerous tutorials, videos, and instructions on 'how to do a magic circle'. Never could do it until YOUR video! Ty so much. You made it easy & explained it in a way that anyone could master it!

[@angelageren48]

As I kept reading g OMG, I tried it. You are BRILLIANT! I don't know what you did differently then the 90 other YT vids I've watched...but I did it!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰

[@ashleylawrence3371]

I just wanted to tell you that i am an extreme beginner and watched SO MANY videos and had to unravel my project countless times. Your video is the only one i found that has made sense and showed good angels so i could actually comprehend what’s going where. Being a full beginner I love that you taught this with only single crochets. Most of the circle videos do three chains and then i was so lost with them doing doubles and trebles like that’s too advanced for me at the moment 😅🤣 thank you for making this so comprehensive! I’ve been watching it on repeat at .5 speed 😂😂

FINALLY!!! Thank you!! I knew there was an easier way. I love the second method. I’m all excited now to start my journey. Will be following you. Your video was great, clear and close n nice n slow. Thank you!!!

Well I m crying n mad cause I watched u all night n been watching n trying for a week thought I had it nope toany circles thank u I wanted to make my daughter a pocket book from my area well I'll have to try the other handbag thank you n god bless cause someone said if I don't get magic circle I'll never crochet

[@SigoniMacaroni]

@@marybeckett4777 Hi Mary, I’m not sure if you actually watched this video all the way through but if you haven’t, you should. In the video I explain that the magic circle is a good technique to learn but it is NOT mandatory to crochet in the round. This is why I included two alternative methods. So there’s no reason to give up. Maybe give the magic circle a break and use one of the other two methods I explained

[@whokilledannamaree]

You have no idea how much this video helped!! ❤❤ You were really good at teaching veryyy slow, and that’s exactly what I needed! 😂 Sending a BUNCH of love your way❤!

[@beafrench1333]

You are truly an angel from heaven! I’ve only gone mad for one evening trying to do the Magic Ring! Found your video and this morning, worked the 2 chain ring method and voila…success! I’m now into row 3 of a bucket hat pattern using a tape yarn….yeah!!!!

[@marjorieannapav1717]

I can’t thank you enough for the different methods for the magic circle. I thought I was going to go mad trying to make a damn circle!

[@vegastrina]

I've never even heard of the magic circle until today. Looks interesting. I've always done the second or the third method, usually the second method. I've actually never had anybody teach me crocheting, I just picked it up one day when I was 14 and fiddled around with some yarn and a crochet hook making doilies because I thought it was fun. I just figuered it out by looking at other peoples finished projects. I decided to look at some videos and pictures today for inspiration, because I haven't crocheted in ages, just to see what ideas people came up with for kerchiefs and stumbled across this. :) This is literally my first "lesson" since I started playing around at 14 and I'm now 47. Thanks for teaching me something new.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

That's great that you've spent your entire crochet journey just being creative and figuring things out on your own! I'm glad I was able to teach you something new 😊

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Thanks for watching! Which of the 3 techniques is your new go-to?

[@lindaloutotz999]

First one but they are all great

[@K9WATCHER]

The 2nd one worked much easier for me. I'll have to practice the 1st one. Are you chaining one, before you start the next round? Is that always the case?

[@wingedeyeliner600]

You are literally the best human being ever

[@abigailallen7712]

THIS. SAVED. MY. PROJECT. thank you!!!

[@louwalmsley2674]

Great magic circle tutorial. I think the first technique, the magic circle would be best. I'm definitely going to use that one. Thanks!!

[@applelim3809]

Same as me too. Watched a lot other tutorials and tried for 4 days but still cannot do it. Luckily found this video, thanks Sigoni.

[@VernaBradshaw]

I ❤️ the magic loop. Once I was able to see where the tail is I had no problem. I think the common problem is not knowing what end to work with. Funny enough I can’t get the chaining and going back into the the first chain to work. I think because I’ve always went through two strands. Great video.

[@elizabethalexander-pukerud7951]

Exactly! This is the fifth tutorial I've watched! I guess no one attempting to teach a stitch has learned its best if the student can see the tail so they can tell which threads to wrap! Omg I use to know! Seems I've forgotten! It also seems we have many teaching that do I have a clue how to teach! Lol they are here to chat! One person I shut off after 8 minutes of meaning less chatter. She still hadn't started! Oh well tomorrow ill go visit my neighbor

[@Sara-xk1ns]

I’m just learning how to crochet and one thing that’s helped me know which stitch to go back to is a stitch marker. I bought a bag off Amazon for just a couple bucks and really thought they were an item I’d rarely use and only experienced people used them….boy was I wrong. They’ve been a huge help!! And I’ve only made a few things so far lol but i will put a marker on as the yarn is still on the hook so I know it’s going in the stitch I need, or I’ll put it on as soon as I finish that last stitch of the row. Then when I come back around I don’t have to guess where to slip stitch or something. They are so worth the $3!

[@ashleykristina2964]

I saw a video where they used a bobby pin to mark where you want to start and stop.

[@victoriaagius8389]

Great informative video. I very recently picked up crocheting after many years. I fell in love w/ amagrumi after not liking it at all!!! I guess I’m in the club of frustrated crocheting people. I watched so many videos on that darn magic circle; I knew i would be able to do it. Yea well NOPE. I tried so hard over & over. It was a no go. I did put it aside for a day or 2; picked it back up and I GOT IT!!!! Don’t give up people; YOU CAN DO IT. ❤❤gayle

[@jennkrucien1044]

Thank you for the other options for the magic circle 🔵 🔴 The 3 finger method and securing a stitch before letting go of the circle is the 1 that works for me. Prior to that I was definitely brought to tears and thought it was hopeless. Thank you again for all your amazing videos!

[@wendo____O]

OMG THANKYOU SO MUCH this is so helpful honestly because whenever I pulled it before it would always tighten instead of making a circle and now it works and I can make my mushroom hat!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@ginettedupuis7502]

ouf! I got it on my 2nd try..yeah! thank you so much

[@faithheart2404]

Thank you!!! I have spent the last week watching Magic Circle/Magic Ring Videos and was ready to tear my hair out - your method above just clicked for me! I have been crocheting for over 50 years but never doing anything the "correct" way. It used to drive my Mother crazy to watch me crochet - my end results were fine but I never held my hands "correctly", I never drew the thread with my left hand little finger, I always stop and drag a new section of thread from the skein. My technique is so awful that when I asked her to teach me to knit she laughed and said, "You and two needles? Never, let's just stick to Crochet!" She didn't hurt my feelings, we always laughed about all this until we nearly cried because the lessons were always so painful and funny. I lost her almost 30 years ago and I am now 66 years old. I decided to use the miracle of KZbin to finally learn some real Crochet Techniques before my hands give out. Let me tell you that Magic Circle was causing me to seriously second guess my plan - and then came you. Thank you so much Sigoni!

This is a PERFECT, SIMPLE and STRAIGHTFORWARD video! Thank you for your videos, they are helpful and extremely simple! 😊
