BEGINNER Crochet Magic Ring Single Crochet 

Finally, somebody on RU-vid can slow down and show us precisely how to do this.I just started me and my child.Thank you

Thank you so much, Mikey! I’m almost crying 😂 tried the magic circle with several tutorials for a while now and with yours I finally succeeded!

Thank you so much Mikey for making my life so much easier.I learned to crochet from my mother. She could crochet anything and make it more beautiful than the original.My mother passed away May 2011.She was crocheting right up to her surgery which she did not pull through from. She did not know about the Magic Circle and she would have been blown away if she would had known about it.Thank you for being a person I can now go to when I need to refresh or learn something new.I felt lost without her.

I have been crocheting for 20 years and I have no idea why I always mess this up. Your video is the only one that makes sense and I never have to watch it again. I just do it along with you right from the beginning and done! Thanks!! Hugs!!

Genius!! I can finally do it. Thanks for the “Magic!”

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! ❤❤❤ I have been losing my mind trying to learn this!

Wow! I should have known that your tutorial is the best! I've watched others but you make it so easy. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video know now how to do the magic ring your such a brilliant teacher so understanding and kind you taught me how to crochet thank you so much look forward to learning more with you big crafty hugs

Thanks so much! This was so much easier to understand than the other so-called tutorials that I found! The magic ring has daunted me since I first heard about it...

Thank you! I've watched multiple videos for this technique and none of them have stuck so far. When I saw Mikey had one, I knew this would be the one to 'click" for me and it was. Very much appreciate your work.

Mikey I'm ashamed to say I'm having a problem relearning to do the magic ring, I've watched so many but could not get it. I watched yours and through the slow motion I finally got it! Thank you for having the patience to teach your method, it's much appreciated!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have tried other tutorials and while I made a circle I couldn’t pull it tight. This worked on the first try. Hallelujah. My Christmas ornaments are saved, I’ve onky been at the craft for a month self taught while recovering from ankle surgery. But your tutorials have saved me every time. Thank you!!!❤️

Blessings upon you for the slo-mo!!! Have tried magic rings before, but they were a mess. Your slo-mo worked Needed 4 magic rings to start feet on my first amigurumi. Didn’t want stuffing leaking out. Thanks!

I want to say after watching many videos you give the best explanation. Really like the slow motion video. Thank you.

I have to agree with folks... I have read/watched a dozen tutorials, and this never worked until I saw this. Mikey, you rule. Thanks.

You are the BEST!!!! How much easier this is than all the other ways people teach it on youtube. I was getting so frustrated doing this technique, that I was about to give up until I watched your video.....I cant thank you enough for making a magic ring easy to do and now I can do it without wanting to throw my hook and yarn across the room. BTW I have been crocheting since January 1st of 2014, and thanks to you my items I make comes out very nice....most people are so surprised I have only been crocheting for less than 3 mths.

I have combed through at least 8 magic circle videos. This one is by far the best. And thanks for including working the stitches as well in the slow motion!

Best tutorial on utube explaining how to do the Magic Circle. I watched 10 other videos and still could not get it. Watched this one and got it the first time. Thank you.

Absolutely THE best tutorial for the magic circle!! Thank you!!

I am a regular crocheter now. I did try watching a lot of videos to make a magic ring but was unsuccessful at it; till I stumbled upon this video. Thanks a ton for helping me out

thank you so much, I've literally watched almost every magic ring tutorial and I can never seem to concentrate and Learn from them, but yours was super easy to understand and the slow mode really helped, 🤗

I know you did this awhile ago, but thank you for the slowed down time. It really helped!

Thanks for this. I've been working on a puff circle granny square with 8 puff stitches making up the very center. The problem..I had a horrible time getting 8 puff stitches around the circle of 4 chain stitches. The magic circle is so much easier. No struggling to squeeze my puffs together to allow room for all 8. This way I can easily put the puffs into the magic circle and when completed just pull it shut...easy peasy!!!! Can't thank you enough.

once you make the circle and you make your stitches going into the middle of the circle and you pull the circle closed ...you work into the available stitches as normal to increase around and continue ... Cathy@ The Crochet Crowd :)

this is amazing, i have such a hard time doing a magic circle even if I did it an hour before this way of doing it is so much easier. I love that you slowed it down too, I will defiantly be looking for other tutorials of yours

Thank you you are the first video to help me learn this method

This is awesome! I've always struggled with these and this was super easy and worked first go!

Thank you so much for the slow motion. I have watched three different ones and tried 20 different times and yours helped me do it the first time. I really appreciate the post. Keep up the good work :D

Mikey, you always make everything so much easier! I worked another project,please don't hate me, but when they showed The Magic Circle I wasn't only lost, I don't even know how she learned it! Thank you for always helping me and all the other crocheters of the World!!!

Finally I think I’ve got this!!! Tank you so much! 👍😁

I love the magic circle method. It gives the inside hole a smoother effect and less bumpy than the regular chain method.

This is the BEST magic circle tutorial I've found! As always,,, Mikey rules!!!

Thanks! This is the best demo I’ve found for the magic ring.

OMG THANK YOU!!! i watched like 6 other magic ring video and this one finally made sense lol.

Thanks so much for this video! My magic circle looks great!

This is a great tutorial. Just one comment: you mention that when you have completed your single crochets and pulled the string to close the circle you can simply cut of the straggler. That straggler needs to be weaved in really well. It's really easy for it to come unraveled (especially if your project is a garment that will be worn and washed regularly), and if it does it can't be fixed. :)

Perfect -- thank you.

Thanks so much. Best video I found after wanting to give up on the many others I found.

Thank you! I am a beginner at crochet, and this has helped me very much. I've watched tens of other videos, but this is the only one I could understand. :)

Your directions made perfect sense. Thank you for that.

Thanks for doing this in slo mo! That made it even easier to follow. 😁

Thanks Mikey this one always works

I finally got it! Thankyou very much.

Thank you Mikey!! I finally got it!!!

Oh man! I watched so many videos and NONE of them I understood. I was getting extremely yarngry! This is my keeper video! Thank YOU!!!

This is the only way I do this. Thank you!

Great video! I've been wanting to do the magic circle and haven't found a good way to do it until now.

I tried and tried, but could not do this until I watched your video. THANK YOU!!!

thank you so much! i kept messing up my magic circle and this was so helpful!

I love the Magic circle.

Amazing Florianópolis Santa Catarina Brasil

You have the best tutorials thank you.n

Thank you! Very easy to understand.

Thank you Mikey

Thank you Mikey!!! I finally did it

Thank you so much, after spending some time on this, I've got it with you!!

THANK YOU! Man, I had to try this seven or eight times, but I got it! :D :D :D

Thank you,

Fantastic

I'm trying to figure out how to do a 2nd magic circle in a line of motifs similar to this using one continuous piece of yarn, without having to join together separate motifs. I'd like to pull closed the center holes that chain 4 & slip stitch leaves me. Is that possible, &, if so, can you explain how, please?

I watched other videos for the magic ring but this video helped me the most. Thank you

You make it look so easy

Thank you thank youuuu

thanks :)

Mikey, can I link to this video as a reference for a pattern I'm writing for an amigurumi horse? I don't have the tools to do my own videos, and want to provide a reference section for techniques and I love your teaching style so much!

there is a much easiter way, simply make a circle at the end he's calling the 'straggler'... pinch & hold the circle between thumb & finger, slip needle in middle of circle & pull yarn through & chain ... so simple...

Not the best but so far the most helpful

how do u inc on a magic circle or continue ?

I noticed you put 8 sc into your ring most patterns want 6. When I do 6 I get a dome and it starts from this foundation. How do I do more without messing up my pattern?

how do you crochet ‘into’ the ring. i haven’t seen a single tutorial so far that explains this or shows this

I must be slow. I can't seem to get this. It's a great tutorial, but mine isn't coming out right.

I don't understand how to crochet around the circle. Could anyone give me tips?

Hmm. See, I don't have the problem of not being able to close the circle with the regular method. I just pull the tail when I'm done. Maybe it's the way I make my slip knot, which is different from everyone else, too. (My mom taught me, eons ago, so it's old-school.) But more and more I see "start with magic circle" in instructions and, frankly, I have no idea how that would translate to a regular circle.

hi i'm using my moms computer (picture of her)i really love this video the others that i watched from people other than you were not the lesson i was exatly what im looking for you did exactly that!!exept you do stuff way too fast for me an 8 year old you talk a little fast ...k gotta watck the rest gbye ; )

once i got to the tighten part i got frustrated

Ötletesen oldód meg a "kőr" készítését.

I've watched like a hundred magic circle videos, and every one just glosses over the most important part! Wtf does it mean to crochet around the ring?!? Is nobody gonna explain that?

Pl

It is impossible to follow along with this video because your hands are in the way and you don't say how your doing it at all. You seem like you are genuinely wanting to help people is why I say this but I am teaching myself to crochet and don't know anything except I am trying to make a basket. Also I have attempted to doing the 1st concept of the 4 chain but found the 2 and 6 in the 1st chain the most helpful for that and I think as I am typing this it could be the same thing as the magic circle as far as the yarn is in the same position at the end even though the start is more complicated and I just thought you should know I tried to follow along found the x and pulling through more helpful then others but can't figure out if you out the yarn over then the hook in the circle and pull it through or put in the circle then yarn over and out it through and some say to out the "straggler"as you say into the circle and do the single crochet on top and you say not to I am super frustrated have gotten as far as the circle then2 single crochet or double I'm confused on words I over think things I'm a disabled chemist trying to find something to do the doesn't require leaving my bed because I have pain I am not getting help for so even using the rest room is hard for me so as I sit here watching your video after 5 more unhelpful ones but helpful more so in other ways so they all are good and try which is what counts I guess my boyfriend is putting together a shelf for me to out next to the bed to keep all the yarn and stuff I've bought online currently stacked up in my floor I have a brain injury which makes me overshare and why I'm not able to make a video like I wanted to do kind of documenting my journey of learning watching these videos since I can't control where I stop and what I say but it's gauranteed to be alot regardless and I can't even remember my point in this however how do you get your phone to show just your hands like that as I wanted to do a video just one of my learning this not a channel as I am to fat for video and hate the way I sound though I'm seeing other people are worse and to bad to listen to though not you which I actually thought was odd since I haven't watched chrocet videos with guys doing it since the first time when my boyfriend heard and obviously gay guy telling me how to do stuff and I didn't listen to him long but wanted to prove to him not everyguy who chrocets is gay and wouldn't think even half but don't really know I don't think of that kid of thing but then my ex was a bartender at a gay bar so I've met a lot of openly gay guys in the 40s(mostly) I apologize be if any of this had offended you I typically do offend most people but I don't mean to I just cant stop however if you could please tell me how you get your phone to do that it what you sit it on I'd appreciate it however if you can't follow this and I get no reply I understand too it's annoying and biuced around if I knew how to send things privately I wouldn't have out all this on here sorry

Luv that a guy can crochet. .it's hot...

So fast🤦🏻‍♀️

You guysss do not make it eassssssy no you ssssssay it's for beginner

I have been crocheting for 20 years and I have no idea why I always mess this up. Your video is the only one that makes sense and I never have to watch it again. I just do it along with you right from the beginning and done! Thanks!! Hugs!!
