My name is Kate, and I'm a crafter and textile designer. I come from a family of makers who never stop creating. Crochet, knitting, sewing... Handmade is definitely my thing! Make yourself at home and let's create something together! Crochetpedia is a place for all makers - full of free patterns, tutorials and info. This RU-vid channel is complementary to what you can see on the website and social media, providing with step-by-step tutorials and crochet-related content.
I made 2 stars using 2.5 mm hook and 1.0 mm hook with appropriate thread sizes and can affirm the 1 mm hook shows much nicer just like you have said. Thank you for a nice video❤
it's an absolutely valid point :) it was the first video tutorial I've ever made, so I wasn't really aware of how it would look. Maybe I will remake this video at some point with thicker yarn!
It’s nice to find an actual left handed crocheting tutorial video! Everyone else is right handed and I just can’t do magic circles that way. I’m so glad I found this video😊
it depends on the pattern, but you would probably increase by working three stitches in one, instead of two. This way you would get a symmetrical detail.
thank you very much, you helped me, I was looking for videos that would help us, but they didn't do it, except for your guide, it really helped me, thanks
yes, they will soften and may loose shape, especially if we're talking about lacy ornaments or decors! Stiffening is used mostly for projects that don't need washing.
Hi! Do you mean that your magic circle is too tight to work the very first round of stitches inside? If so, try starting with a longer yarn tail - you will have more room to work. If you mean the next round of stitches (that is, the second one), the tightness of the magic ring shouldn't matter, because you work in the stitches of round one. If these are too tight to insert your hook in, try switching to a bigger hook size for some time, until you figure out how it works. Hope it helps!
What do you mean by 'next row'? It sounds like you might be tightening the loop too early. It must remain quite loose until you've worked all of your round 1 stitches inside.
Alright, so you actually successfully did everything I show in this tutorial, right? :) If so, that's great! To continue working in circles, you need to move to the next row by making chain stitches (a turning chain) and start making increases. I'm actually working on the flat circle tutorial, so stay tuned for that or look for 'flat circle' patterns in the meantime!
Thank you, Diana! Sorry, but I don't really know what brand it is :( I bought them a hundred years ago! It was a bamboo set of crochet hooks in various sizes, all enclosed in a rather low quality purple case with a zipper.
After months of trying to make a magic ring, finally l have found someone l can understand. I have so many projects l would like to try but have been avoiding. Thank-you
