AFTER 78 FAILED ATTEMPTS AND 3 MENTAL BREAKDOWNS I FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT DOESNT RIP THE TAIL OFF. YOU CANT UNDERSTAND HOW GRATEFUL I AM

This will be so much better for me than a magic loop! For some reason the tension on my stitches is never right if I try to do a magic loop. I always find it fiddly. This is perfect for me now because I've just started a granny square blanket so I will be using this technique for it. Great timing! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

@Anne5440_ Год назад

@Myrtana1 Год назад

This is how it has always been done over here in Germany . My grandmother taught me that 54 years ago. The magic loop is something that came over from America I think and has only become popular in Germany through RU-vid and other social media platforms. It is funny because I stopped doing "our" ring and I've been using the magic ring ever since I first saw it on YT. 😀

@mariakristinahawl1640 Год назад

I, too, dislike magic ring. It's not safe, in any sense of the word, to put all your stitches literally on one layer of the fiber you're using. Much too unstable.

@kayleighbutler2259 Год назад

I switch between methods but I do always crochet over the end to pull it closed like this. It works with both methods. I'm glad this works for so many people, took me years to work out magic rings

@jantina144 Год назад

This seems like a more complicated magic circle. It is closed the same as a magic circle so I don’t see the point. I have never had a gap in any of mine, if someone does they aren’t pulling the tail tight enough.

@jennifertalwar6099 Год назад

This is to give those who can’t get the hang of a magic circle the option to close the gap. You may be able to but others don’t, I do both ways.

@Kiss_My_Art Год назад

No magic loop here, just stitch over the tail as I'm working the first round then give it a little tug to close the hole, it's worked for me for 55years ! 😊

@heatherpiper1448 Год назад

Great video but I also have been doing this for a while.

@kathywelch8722 Год назад

I like either way to close the gap.

@tben-xc2fg Год назад

Always ch 2 and work my round in the second ch from hook, the slip knot chain. It never fails because you can pull up or expand the circle just like a magic circle. It never fails and I've been using it for over fifty years. It does the exact same thing as a magic circle. Whatever works for you but you don't have to do all that. It's not that complicated..

@lunasmum6869 Год назад

I've always done it this way. When I was a girl, many more years ago than I like to remember, (65ish) I taught myself to crochet. There was nobody else to show me. I found a book in the library which showed basic stitches but nothing else so making my circle the way you have shown seemed obvious at the time. Your video is very good as those who have only ever been taught the magic cirle may be unaware of this method and find it easier. Personally I find the magic circle fiddly and time consuming.

@lisajones2210 Год назад

Been doing this for decades. I thought I invented it. Here's something else to do with those tails: When changing colors or adding a new ball, DON'T knot. Pull the new yarn through the last 2 loops on the hook. Crochet over both tails as you just did in the ring, GENTLY tugging the ends as you near them When you run out of tails, straighten the fabric and watch the tails seamlessly disappear. It's a pain for about three inches, but the result is magical.

@thewitchhut63 Год назад

I've been using the magic ring for a few years now and I've never had a hole in the center, let alone one as big as shown. The only time I've ever had a hole was when using this method you're demonstrating in the video. I've never liked using this method because I could never get the hole to close completely, but, using the magic ring it always closes tightly and never comes loose enough to create a hole/gap of any size. To each their own I guess.

@Boesisi_548 Год назад

Hello, how many should i chain if i need 6 single crochet (in the common way of msgic cricle)

@bellacococrochet Год назад

If you only need to work six single crochet stitches, I would work a chain three circle 😊

@celiamckenna2840 Год назад

I struggle with the magic ring when using the plush yarn! The plush yarn gets stuck and won’t close. I’m hoping this method will work better for the plush yarn. 😊

@bellacococrochet 6 месяцев назад

As long as you work over the yarn tail you should find that giving it a good pull will close the hole in the centre 😊 I have a tutorial that shows how to make a granny square here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GALGQdP_POw.html

@vickijackson5547 Год назад

I am just learning amigurumi and the magic ring does give me trouble. This looks much easier, but how do you decide how many chains? If a pattern says 6SC in MR - how many chains before you join and start the single crochets? - Thanks!!

@bellacococrochet Год назад

I guess it depends how loosely you chain. I’d say 3 or 4, but give it a go and see you it’s looking x

@lorinapetranova2607 Год назад

Is there a standard rule about chain x amt n then y number of stitches in the loop if there's no info in the pattern or maybe no pattern at all? What you showed is the only way I do start circles. The magic ring is too confusing n messy. So is how ppl do the slip knot sometimes. Many blessings of crochet happiness. 😁

@bellacococrochet Год назад

There’s nothing wrong with starting with a chain circle if you prefer, many crocheters do 😊 You’ll find that most patterns use a chain 4 circle as standard; you would use this for a granny square for example. If you’re working something very small you can work a chain 3 so that the ring is less noticeable, and if you’re planning on working a large number of stitches you can increase the number of chains, although there are no hard and fast rules.

@Value1lady Год назад

I have finally mastered the magic loop in a very easy way by making a slip knot and it works for me. Let me ask is it always either 4 or 3 chains no matter what stitch? Is that the only numbers 3 or 4?

@bellacococrochet Год назад

For a standard chain circle most will chain four 😊 But you can experiment and try different numbers to see what works best for you - if you crochet more than four you’ll find the inner circle easier to work into, but you will be left with a bigger gap.

@Value1lady Год назад

@@bellacococrochet got ya thanks

@nunalunaberey_ 9 месяцев назад

Question, how many chains do you do for different stitches? Like you said 3 chains, but did 4 bc you’re doing a half double crochet. So is it a different number of chains depending on the stitch? How many for a single crochet or double crochet?

@bellacococrochet 8 месяцев назад

The number of chains you make for the chain circle depends more on how many stitches you’re planning to work into the centre, and not the type of stitch; four chains would be standard but if you’re planning to work lots of stitches then you may want to chain five or six so you have more room 😊 Once the chain is joined into a circle, I then chain two which counts as the first half treble crochet (you’d chain three for a treble, or one for a double crochet)

@bellacococrochet 10 месяцев назад

This is a really simple alternative to a magic ring and will work with all yarns; as long as you thread the end of the yarn through the base of the stitches in the first round you’ll be able to cinch the gap closed 😊
