How To Crochet - The Magic Circle (or magic ring) 

Hi Everyone, after reading through the comments (some saying I was too fast or they didn’t know where to work the stitches) I have made an UPDATED VIDEO WHICH YOU CAN FIND HERE - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Odqjbg4bMeA.html

In the last 2+ years, I've been making infant beanies for a children's hospital. I have made over 200 of them, but began working on another project as well for the same hospital. I've kept working because so far, the COVID restrictions haven't been lifted, so I can't donate them yet. Today, I decided to go back to beanies, and went completely blank on the magic circle. That is the other thing that has happened in the last 2+ years. I'm in early stages of dementia, and it's short term things I can't remember. I've already watched this 3 times today and I don't know why I even need it. I never did before, so it's not just embarrassing, it's scary. Thank you for keeping it brief.

she didnt lie when she said u'll fly when know how to do the magic circle... im flying to new york rn

I cried for an hour while making this, I made it once, ruined it, so I’m back. Thank you for posting this 😭 you’re a life saver

Every time I have to make a magic circle, this is the video I watch. Try as I might, I simply cannot remember how to do it. Your video and explanation is very easy to follow and understand. I appreciate the time you took to make it

I have had the HARDEST time learning the magic circle and I've given up, avoided everything that calls for a magic circle. UNTIL your video! Thank you so much!!! I FINALLY learned it thanks to you!

Omg I was so horrible at making the magic circle and other tutorials made NO sense...until I found this one! Thank you!!

“i’ll just do a couple stitches” i don’t know how to do stitches bestie i thought this was for beginners

For the love of God I’ve watched trillions of videos on this damn circle that I can’t sleep. I typed in search box, easiest magic circle n here you are. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I've watched countless videos on this subject, and sure, I could make a functional magic circle afterwards, but it always looked loose and horrible. Your video was the best. First off, you were sure to point out where the tail end of the yarn went. So many times I watch videos and they never show which end they're working with. I think that's why I couldn't do it right until I watched yours. Thank you so much.... now I can be proud of my work. ❤❤❤

I have been trying so many tutorials to understand the magic circle and this is the first time I ever have been able to make one. It was so clear when you explained it. Thank you!!

MAAM! must you know this! I've watched a million you tubes on how to do this dang magic circle you are the very first to explain it properly! Thank you so much!

Can I like this 100 times? I finally got it after not understanding several other videos, thank you!!!

I have tried the magic circle loads of times and gave up but yours has been the best I have done it. Thank you x

I've finally come to comment after all this time that this video has been helping me for years because I always come back to it. THANK YOU for uploading this video.

3 weeks ago I watched this tutorial and it was the ONLY magic circle one that made sense to me. Now I can do it without even thinking about it. Thank you, you’re a life saver!!

I've been struggling with the magic circle for a while now and this video helped me get it first go. Seriously thank you, you went just the right speed and explained just the right way!

Thank you!! Out of all the videos I have seen to learn how to make that magic circle yours was the easiest to understand and follow!!! I can now make a magic circle! I have been crocheting for 32 years and have never been able to learn how to make this circle until now!!! Again Thank you!!!

BEST magic circle how to EVER!!! Thank you! 💞

I agree with the other comments. All other tutorials made absolutely no sense. With you, I crocheted my first magic ring. I sincerely thank you

I had been struggling to do a magic ring for so long, this video is the only one I've found that broke it down in a way that I could follow. It's easy, it makes much more sense than other ways to me and now I can make my little girls their stuffies for Christmas

Thank you so much! I've tried endless tutorials on this and this is the first time that I have actually managed to make one!

THANK YOU!! Finally! I've watched a video demo that clicked for me!!!

BEST tutorial on magic loop available!!

Hands down, the best magic circle instruction vid on RU-vid..thank you so much !🌙 🌟💜

This is literally the only magic circle tutorial I’ve been able to follow. I cannot express how difficult it was for me to get this!!! But you’ve helped me get there!

Finally someone who doesn’t go too fast and u can see your movements clearly

This help me crazily! After watching thousands of videos this is the one! Thank you so much! We appreciate you lots!🤩 Keep up the good work!!!

Have watched so many videos and this is the first one that’s clicked! Ugh lifesaver will be watching for about the next 50 times haha

Perfect. It was just the right pace, and you explained it so well. I now know how to make a magic ring . Thankyou 😊

Best magic circle tutorial on RU-vid. Thank you so much for the up close view, repetition, and going slowly.

I’ve watched about 4 videos and finally done it watching yours 😆😆😆

It took me backing this video up 5 times, but I GOT IT!!! You are the first person who has ever been able to teach this to me. THANK YOU! And, thank you for keeping it brief. Great tutorial. 🎉

Thank you so much for this and struggling on doing it you’re the first person who has been able to explain in a way that I can understand thank you 😊

I'm totally a beginner and i watch a lot of vd on how to make a magic ring and then i found you,you're the only one that i can follow your step hahahha thankyou so much 🤭✨❤️

THANK YOU!! I gave up crocheting for a bit because many of the beginner projects i wanted to do required a magic circle, but I couldn't follow any tutorials! This was the ONLY one that has helped me, and I finally did it!

Thank you so much! Your video/explanation is the 4th one I’ve watched today, and yours was the only one I could follow.

Starts off really good for beginners and then it's like you're already supposed to know the rest. I appreciate the video and all but the part I was confused about just got blown past. Am I the only one?

This is THE tutorial I needed to make the magic ring work for me consistently. Thank you so much!!!

This has been the best video of showing how to make the magic circle that I have found. And believe me, I have watched many. Thank you so much!

This is the clearest most detailed magic circle instruction! I am trying to master this and tried a few confusing tutorials until I found you! Thanks

I’ve watched so many videos on this and haven’t been able to get it, until this one. Thank you!!!

This is by far the easiest magic circle tutorial! I can finally do the magic circle consistently 😊

what does a person who wants to learn crochet search because so far every "beginner" video has been way beyond my ability like how to make the magic circle but also already know this list of stitches. Thanks for the video I can't wait to look back on this and be like ooooh yeah I get it 😎

I’m the first minute I love this video more than a lot of others simply because you SHOWED which end is the tail! Thank you!

Thank you for breaking this down so simply! As others have said, this is by far the best tutorial on this. I really appreciate how you included stitching into the circle once you make it.

I have struggled with this for so long and never really got it until now. Thank you!!

I had to watch this a couple times before I finally understood. I've looked up heaps of tutorials, and none of them were making sense to me, but this helped heaps!! I really like making things for my friends, no matter what they are, but I never learned to crochet, and so I kind of freak out when I try to make them stuffies and things. This tutorial really helped me understand, so I appreciate it tonnes. I still don't really understand completely how to crochet yet, but this definitely helps me understand the magic circle. Thank you!!

FINALLY! A magic ring tutorial that actually explained in a way that I finally “got it!” Thank you x1000! 🥰🥰🥰 I can’t tell you how many projects I was afraid to start because they began with the magic ring!

This is the best instructions I have found for the magic circle, my problem is I am left handed, I will try to figure i out i am 75 have not crocheted in years but my first great, great, grandson is on the way, i want to crochet him the elephant snuggle blanket , thanks so much .

My grandmother taught me to crochet/sew during summer visits when I was 7 yrs old. I must have been a very patient little girl & her a patient teacher. she made beautiful blankets for the church. Those memories with her have stayed with me all my life.

Finally, a tutorial that's up close and slow so I can actually see what's happening. Thank you!!

I swear I have watched 1 million videos on the magic circle for years and this one has helped me the most out of any of them! I think I finally conquered it! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much! LOL!

Who agrees that the magic circle should be the circle of torture 😃

You were the 1st person out of exhausting many, that could actually teach me the magic ring!!!! I just did my 1st one after I cant even remember how many frustrated failed attempts! Thank you sooooo much! Finally!!! So appreciative!!!

I tried so many videos before this one, and this is the only one that worked for me!

Oh Lordy thank you thank you thank you I was beginning to think the magic circle was jinxed at last I found your video ‘gets down on knees and bows’ lol 😂

Thank you for sharing this, I will be bookmarking it.

Im all thumbs! But this was easy peazy...Ive seen so many ways, but I like this one the best! I don't use the magic circle often, but when I do, I always come back here to refresh the steps.Thank you.👍

Watching your fingers & how you used the crevices between them was the most insightful way that I've seen how to do this. Thank you!!!!!!

I’m beginning crocheting because i wanna make cute things for me and my friends. I have very shaky and fidgety hands and this tutorial was very helpful for me. Edit: this was much more helpful then many other ones

I've watched so many tutorials, you're the only one that made sense to me. Thank you ❤️❤️

this is the 4th or 5th video I’ve used to try to learn the magic circle stitch and this is the only one that was explained clearly enough for me to follow and replicate on my own later. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤍

I have been crocheting for about 3 months now, and, for the life of me I couldn't figure the magic circle out. I watched so many videos. I finally decided that I was just going to give up. This is the ONLY video that made it make sense! Thank you so so so much!

Best video I've seen in the magic circle, thank you!

You're literally the only person that was helpful. Thank you so much, I wanna cry because of how relieved I am!!!

I have been crocheting for years, but couldn't seem to catch onto the magic ring. Your tutorial was the only one that helped me understand! Thank you very much!

I have been struggling with the magic circle - you have made it much easier! Thank you! 😊

Great camera work and explanation! The color choices helped visually, too.

Thank you, this really helped me!! Wonderful tutorial!

i’ve tried to follow instructions for a magic circle before, but was never able to get a grasp on how it worked. you made, by far, the best video for me to understand. not too fast, not too slow, and i managed to understand it very well. thank you!

Thank you so frickin much you have no clue how many times I wanted to chuck my yarn and crochet stick at my wall while watching this and not getting it, but after rewatching over and over again I DID IT I MASTERED THE MAGIC CIRCLE!! So that you! ☺️

So clear, best video on this - thanks so much

Took me viewing multiple videos before finding this one, and I'm so glad I did! Thank you so much for the clearly detailed instruction :)

Thank you so much. This is one of the simplest tutorials that I have seen so far!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've watched at least a half dozen other tutorials and was just not understanding how to do this. I watched this video through once and tried your method the second time through and got it from the first attempt! You went slow enough for me to actually see each step, unlike all the other videos I tried. Thanks again!

That is so much easier. Thanks

This is not for beginners. I made the circle but after that you went way too fast and didn't explain :(

The best magic ring tutorial I’ve seen, nice and slow. The others make it way more complicated, thanks 😊

thank you so much, i FINALLY figured out how to make a magic circle with this.

I can make the circle easily enough, it's the pulling the yarn to close off the circle after I've crocheted into it that's tripping me up.

No matter how many tutorials, how many hours, days, and I still can’t make a magic circle.

I was clenching my jaw at how tension this was giving me. Thank you!

How I wish I'd found this 2 years ago 😁 Trying to follow the instructions on a kit my daughter bought me made me give up , your method is slightly different but works just the same! Brilliant!

I just don't understand what you are doing once the magic circle is done and you are making chains and stitches?

I've been so frustrated trying to understand thank you!

Thank you! I have watched many videos trying to figure this out and no one has explained it right except for you

You are a godsend. It’s been hit and miss up until now. Thank you thank you xxx

What did you do at 2:20 i’ve watched it 5 times at half speed i think i may be too simple for this technique. 😓

all of the tutorials I searched shows the first stitch and then they go so fast for the rest like idk how to do any stitch 👁👄👁

I always refer back to this video when I need to make the magic circle. Thank you, you are much appreciate!

I've watched like tons of magic circle videos, your the only one that worked! Tysm you"re a life saver 😅

That was literally the most complicated version of starting a magic circle that I’ve ever seen

This tutorial was great. I was finally able to make a magic circle!

Thank you for explaining this so perfectly ❤ You're the first one I've watched do this, that I could get it right the first time. Thanx❤

Them on the east parts:🔝🔚🔛 Them on the hard parts:🔚🔝🔜🔙🔝🔜🔚🔙🔜🔝🔜🔜🔝🔚🔙🔛

you didn’t help !!! 😢

I have been crocheting for many years. About 5 years ago I tried to learn how to do the magic ring and gave up after watching many videos and repeatedly failing. I decided to give it another try last night and found this video. I've made about 10 magic rings since then, 2 while watching and 8 on my own! I FINALLY got it! Yay! Thank you!!

shes literally going so fast and not explaining well on the hardest parts.

this makes no sense
