How to crochet in the round for ABSOLUTE beginners! | Tutorial | Kay Krochets 

I’m 12 years old and I want to start crocheting I actually already have yarn and the hooks but it’s was very hard with the videos but this video actually helped me into making my first circle :) thank you :)

I have terminal cancer and have managed to learn the basics of crochet through RU-vid video's...watching you and bag o day mostly. Im hoping to crochet an afghan for my daughter and son in law and 1 for each grandbaby thats 2 more afghans. Im half done with my daughter's. Its taken me near a year. I started soon as i was diagnosed and i started trying to learn actually about a month or so before i i was diagnosed. Ive been battling cancer for 17 months. I wasn't terminal at 1st. I now know im inoperable and my treatments are to prolong my life long as they give me quality of life and until i just have no fight left in me and the good Lord says its my time. Please pray for me yall. I appreciate the videos you make. Thank you so much

This is the only video of the like 5 I’ve found that actually explain it fully, and go slow enough that I can follow along without constantly rewinding and pausing, as someone who only knows how to chain and single crochet, thank you!!

I had absolutely never crocheted in my life, this was a great tutorial. It was super helpful and you're a great teacher!!

This was very very helpful! I get so mixed up at the end of a round when I try to crochet in the round. I think this will really help me so I don’t get confused between the last stitch and the chain one from the previous round

Thankyou!!! After hours of watching 'how to magic circle ' videos I had all but given up.. I am so glad I decided to try just one more!! This was just what I needed..perfect.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

A very dear friend of mine passed recently and another friend who visited me after it happened, showed me how to single crochet to help give me a task to do and have something to keep my hands busy. Thank you for helping expand my skillset, it really means a lot to me to have something to do in this time. I appreciate you so much ❤

I MADE MY FIRST "PERFECT" CIRCLE THANKS TO YOU I LOVE HOW WELL YOU EXPLAINED IT THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hello ! I wanted to thank you. I’m 14, and I started crocheting when I was like 12 but I completely gave up, I didn’t even know how to make a slit knot. Crocheting is the ABSOLUTE hardest thing I have ever done and I can’t stop failing but your tutorial is so much help !

Finally found an amazing video on how to do a magic circle and continuing the rounds. Thank you!

I am 12 years old and started crocheting, I tried so many tutorials on how to make a circle and all of them either went to fast or didn’t explain enough, this was the first video that really helped me understand and I made a perfect circle thanks to you! 😊 I’m definitely checking out those other beginner videos!

This was so helpful! I just started crocheting and I have been struggling with this I kept making mini hats! But I finally made my first circle and I am so happy! Thank you for sharing and you did such a wonderful job at both explaining everything thoroughly and showing what you're doing clearly that really helped me A LOT. I appreciate you! 💚

I made my first circle! thank you so much, this video was super helpful

i've watched many videos to learn 'magic circle' but it's to hardddd , and i scroll over . suddenly i found ur video! and its look easyyyy ! THANK YOU ! YOU'RE THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER! 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

BRUH I LOVE U I STARTED LIKE 2 days ago been trying to make a ball but it wouldn’t work everyone goes too fast as a “beginner“ tutorial u literally showed me so many thing that I missed and why it wouldn’t work

I am on the spectrum and I have watched so many videos on how to do this and read books. None of that taught me anything until I watched you. You explain things very clearly and have a way of making a lot of sense in a world of chaos please continue videos

I just started crocheting and this video was by far one of the best tutorials I've seen, well done!

Thank you so much!! A tutorial showing the first and last stitch of the round was EXACTLY what I was looking for and I wasnt being able to find it until now.. Your intructions are very clear, very good video!!

I have been trying for weeks to crochet a magic ring and this tutorial finally helped me! Thank you so much!

Thank you for this! I’m so happy to have found your video! You actually explain the 1-2, 1-2 break-down, which was a game changer for me!

Thank you for this video! I was working on another project and had to keep restarting it. I knew I was just missing some basics. I had always been so intimidated by crocheting rounds. You're video filled me in all the basics I was indeed missing and first time back to my project it looks amazing! I appreciate your time in making this. 💛

I made a near perfect circle in my first go with this tutorial! Thank you :)

It's been taking me forever to learn the magic circle but now i finally got it!! thank you so much for this video :)

Thank you so much! I'm just learning to crochet. I tried watching several other videos, failed terribly, and cried! Your video was fantastic! Perfect pace and very helpful with the explanation of crocheting terms!

Finally got how to go from round one to the next and continue with the round. Thank you! I liked the way you teach.

This is by far the easiest to understand tutorial I have seen so far for beginners! Thank you for your thoughtful breakdown :) I absolutely hate the counting in crochet but you made this so digestible!

I watched this video about a year or so ago and no tutorial was able to show me how to properly make a magic circle I came across this video and now I can do it so thank you so much for making this because the magic circle is in like everything so this was so helpful

This tutorial was a wonderful refresher for crocheting in the round and counting. It is easy to understand Kay and she explains things very well and slowly. She hit the right details. I look forward to watching other tutorials by Kay.

Thank you so much for going so slowly!! And going back and repeating!! And reexplaining everything. You are doing a great thing helping us slower 😂 people. ❤

I looked through other crochet videos and this one helped me crochet best, now I know how to crochet. Tysm!!! 😊

I’ve been crocheting on and off for years, and have always without fail tried to make flat circles that just always ended up curled and too tight. You really managed to slow down the pace and explain it perfectly, for the first time ever, my crochet is not a bowl! Thank you so much for this tutorial.

I made one and found this tutorial super useful!! My tension wasnt perfect so its a bit too tight in some areas but it sort of makes it look like a flower petal 💗

The first video I watched that was easy to follow and went at a beginners pace. Super easy to follow and love how you were supportive through it all even though you’re just talking to me through the screen. 10/10🎉

Thanks for this video! I have always had a terrible time making magic circles, thanks so much!!

I just started doing crochet and I'm very thankful for the tutorial, it helped a lot! 😁

This video is so helpful because you stick with a single crochet and explain the increases (which my book was not as clear about). Also you repeat the important parts so we can really see what to do. Thank you.

You are the fourth person I've watched to understand how to increase, but stay flat ( I'm stuck on row 3)... but the first to phrase it in a way I understand. It's late, so I'll try this tomorrow. Thank You!😊

I have been struggling to see which stitch to crochet into at the start of the next round. This has really helped, thankyou

Finally, I understand the circle. You explained it so well. Thank you

This helped me so much! All the other videos have just confused me, but with this one I now know to work in rounds! Thank you so much!!

Hello Kay. Thank you, this tutorial really helped me with learning to actually finally make a magic circle. Really clear instructions! :)

im working on my first crochet project, a jellyfish amigurumi, and you made it SO CLEAR for me to understand how to work with the magic ring so thank you so so muchh

Just now learning crocheting mostly using fingers and big chunky yarn because it's been the easiest for me go pick up, but I got stuck on this nicer circle I'm making with a hook that's taking many more stitches lol. Thank you so much for this video! It already looks so much better xD

This is so super helpful.i've watched other videos on crocheting circle but they were so confusing but with yours its so easy to understand.Thank you

Thank you! I finally understand after watching your video. Appreciate that you explained how to do the crochet slowly and clearly. All other videos go slowly through how to do the circle, then start flying when they get to the crocheting part. Thanks again!

I'm just learning to crochet and this video is by far one of the most helpful and easy to follow I have found.

I watched half a dozen videos and was still confused! Your video was well made and easy to follow. Thank you so much!!

OMG.....I am making an afghan which has a couple youtube follow along videos. Since I'm a knitter, and have only done a very simple crochet projects in my life, this magic circle business seemed impossible. Thank you for your clear concise directions. I have watched several videos but your's takes the cake. Very clear, concise, slow and repetitive.....perfect!! Thank you.

Thank you so so much for this video, I always get confused for where to put my first stitch and which is my last stitch of the round, you're saving me from regular headaches in trying to figure it all out

Finally!!! I’ve been crocheting for many years and always have struggled with crocheting in the round. Most videos are hard to see and confusing, this was fantastic, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! 🧶

This was an absolutely fabulous video. You really took your time with each step and it’s very easy to follow. Can’t wait to get started!

Thanks a lot! I've been looking at tutorials for this and yours is the only one I could properly follow. I really appreciate how you emphasise and show off each step!

Thank you this video was fantastic I have been trying to learn how to do a magic ring and it was so easy with your instructions.

I think you're the only one on RU-vid that is not confusing me with this topic 😅 thank you!!!

I love how she does it twice so you get it, and she slows down to make sure we know what shes doing.

I’m watched SO MANY other videos similar to this and this is by far the easiest one! Thank you

Thank you so much for this video. I have an amigurumi kit and each piece starts with a magic circle, but the instructions that come with it aren't great. I've rewatched your video every time I have to do one (not because your teaching is bad, but because I'm leaving such a long gap in between that I forget). I really appreciate the pace, and that you actually show how to do the next round. So many zoom through and then stop once the circle is done - I'd never know to slip stitch and chain one to start the next round if not for you!

easy to follow and very clear!!! I’d tried a few videos before this one and couldn’t figure it out. She does a great job explaining/teaching (and that’s coming from a teacher)

Having watching tens of videos on how to do this, can I say THANKYOU for going at a speed slow enough and explaining so so well so beginners to understand, you're amazing :)

I had to redo it a few times to understand but I understand SOOOO well after this!

Thank you for this! I started crocheting 1 month ago and im makjng great progress! This helped with my first circle. It was hard but eventually you'll make it. Once again, thank you and wish you a good health!

Seems like one of the best tutorials on the magic ring/circle! Thanks

I have to say that I e watched a few other videos on this and your videos explain it so much better. I finally now understand what I’ve been trying to accomplish. Thank you!!!

I’m 12 and I bought a crochet kit to make a highland cow and didn’t realize it was an intermediate level and so the video is really hard to understand and I had to make a circle so I have to look up individual videos to make a highland cow now, but this really helped me. Thank you.❤️

Wow this is one of the easiest tutorials I’ve seen I used to struggle so much with the magic ring and now I find it really easy Ty :))

wow!! IN EVERY OTHER TUTORIAL THE MAGIC CIRCLE IS LIKE ROCKET SCIENCE....YOU MADE IT ABSOLUTELY EASY. THANKS, LOVE IT

Thank you so much for going at a speed I can follow. It finally makes sense. Very much appreciated.

Lovely tutorial. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

I've been crocheting for a year and I just figured out how to work int he round thank you so much

amazing i loved this video it helped me because i was struggling on my circle and every other video i watched it was to fast for me or i could not do it so helpful

I have watched so much magic circle, magic loop videos and FINALLY I found you! You made it so simple and uncomplicated. I could actually crochet in the round. It isn't quite as pretty and well formed as yours, but I think with practice it will. I'm sending your site to friends!! Thank you!!!

I got my daughter a Woobles starter kit and we wanted to know how to start a circle from scratch (the kits have a pre-made circle) and this tutorial is very helpful!

I am only 11 years old I I always wanted to learn to crochet i watched millions of videos to how to make a circle and this video is the best!!!! ☺️☺️

Great video...Thank you. I needed this to make your plastic bag holder.

Very helpful showing the appropriate stitches to begin & end the round.

This was really helpful and well explained, thank you! I have never crocheted before and made a really good circle I think. :)

That did it! Thank you for the clear instruction.

Thank you for making this make sense at a speed I could follow!!!

this is the first vid I've seen to show the hook twisting at the start thank you so much

was super confused what to do after completing a circle in the magic loop, this video really helped!

I'm literally about to cry, this is the first tutorial on circles that I actually clearly understood 😭 thank you so much ❤

thank you for this tutorial! I got the initial magic ring correct first try ☺️but still need practice on increases

Omg so help full!! So many tutorials just go insanely fast but this one taught me a lot better then the other ones. You are such a good teacher❤

Great video thank you, watched 20 videos and you're the first that actually repeats a step. Very helpful. And clear camera, clear voice. Superb!! Request: make a video on how to make a ball? I want to crochet juggling balls... super video!

I just made my first circle! 3 other tutorials didn't do the job. You're a great teacher! Thank you x

This was really easy thank you, couldn't get my head around the circular works until this video

Thank you! This is by far the easiest explanation I have seen yet. The yarn you are using makes it very easy to see. I was having trouble with which stitch to slip stitch and which one to start the next round. I am happy to continue now!

i just wanted to say that this was the least confusing tutorial on how to do a magic circle and how to crochet in rounds so thank you so much

Thanks a million for your details and showing us the right way. Now I can crochet 🧶 beanies, socks and anything that’s round and it’s a perfect ring. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅🎉. I enjoyed it so much.

Thank you SO much! My pattern says just ch1, xxx stitches, slip stitch, but where I should put slip stitch and how I should treat ch1 - zero words! Many magic ring tutorials cover only first row, but yours with 3 rows was a life saviour!

You are great. You take your time, and repeat I love it. You have help me alot!

Thank you, as a total beginner this was very well explained, please do more tutorials xx

thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!!! i am crocheting plushies for family and friends this christmas and the products kept looking wonky. after watching your video i realized i have been skipping the first stitch and crocheting on the “last” stitch. thank you for making this tutorial!!!

Such clear and concise directions…thank you

My first magic circle! Thank you!

Thank you!!! I finally did it. You’re tutorial was the right pace and really helped me figure out the increase! 🎉

I've seen so many videos for this, but i haven't understood any of them until now! this helped a lot, thanks!

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!!!!! I learned to crotchet last week and other videos just werent explaining it well, you really helped. Im coming back to this video for the second time to try and make a pattern just by looking at a picture of it.

Thank you for this! It was great. I’m having trouble finding how to end my circle though once it’s as big as I’d like.

Thank you! You’re a great teacher!
