the EASIEST Magic Circle method - The BEST way to start amigurumi 

"Advanced slip knot"...truly a light-bulb moment. Hands down the simplest and best explanation for the magic circle/ring that I've seen thus far, thanks so much for this enlightening vid!

I have watched 100 videos and only yours helped it made so much more sense when you compared it to the slip knot

If only I knew sooner that it is just practically a slipknot and not the complicated advanced thing I always thought it was! I messed up so many magic circles because I was struggling with crossing the yarn over my hand and what not xD Thanks a lot!

This is by far the easiest magic circl explanation ever! Finally was able to do one

OMG is right! I have struggled to REMEMBER how to do the magic circle and you made it so simple for me to get. I do my slip knots the same way so it was JUST SO SIMPLE! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

omg. This was illuminating. I don't know why I struggle so much with Magic Circles. This really helps me. Thank You! And, king the last stitch in the round such a great idea. I like that so much better than marking the first.

i give up😢

Wow! Best magic circle tutorial ever! I have been doing the magic circle for so long another way and hated doing them! This changes everything for me. The whole process finally makes sense! 😁 Thank you SO much!!

That was great. Closeup and doing it slowly makes it easier to figure out! I knew there was an easier way of doing it. 😊

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to use this!You are a lifesaver!❤

I’m watched like five videos and looked at so many pictures and all it took was 4 minutes of this video for me to get it Thank you so much!

I'm so glad I finally seen another person holding the yarn that way. I thought I was the only one. Marking the last stitch makes sense too. Will have to try that. Thank you for a great video!

Thank you so much! You explained it so clearly, including the bits that other videos brushed over. This answered all my questions and helped me understand the structure rather than just being a set of steps. And using the stitch marker right at the very start is genius, I wish I had thought of that.

Some friendly advice: your entry level is all over the place. You specify (rightly) that a marker can go on the first or the last stitch of a round. I have never done ANY sort of crochet or knitting and i understood that. BUT, things that i didnt undertand: What is a slip knot ? What is a chain? What counts as a stitch? What do you mean by over the hook? (PLEASE SLOW DOWN YOUR HANDS) when doing your first real stitch, where you you push the hook in? How do you stop the yarn sliding off the hook (i.e. hook direction Its like, the first knot loop thing you do is the perfect speed, everything else feels like it goes at lightning speed with no break in between . Like those drawings that are like 1. Draw a circle, 2. Draw another circle, 3. Add detail, congrats youve drawn a horse. Im really grateful you put the time into making this, but it very much feels like youre trying to teach people that have zero knowledge, but posess the eyes of a crocheter. To those of us watching this video, this is a pile of spaghetti. You need to slow down and teach us the anatomy and terminology of the stitch

I've watched like 5 videos now and I was so confused!😂 This video was the only one I understood. Thank you so much!❤

Unbelievable!!! This is how I've been doing it... Good to see that I'm not weird in the way I make my magic loop 🤭

Thank you so much i just learned it tonight and I've been trying for months i love this style thank you so so so so so so so so sooooooooo much it is so helpful

Definitely the best & easiest way to make a MC! Thank you so very much!

Thank you!!! Nobody else talked about the anchoring chain and it was really confusing to me, since my pattern obviously just says to SC in MR, nothing about chaining.

omg!! thanks you helped me better than all the others😄

BRO WHAT THE HECK WHY IS THIS SO HARD IVE LITERALY RAGE QUIT LIKE 4 TIMES NOW

Thank you so much🎉. Still working on it😢, but with your instructions, I'll get it! 😊

Wow...even those of us with advanced degrees have had trouble with the infamous magic ring ! Thank you for making this so simple and easy!!

Thanks. I totally get it now.

OH MY GOSH I GOT IT! it’s literally so easy once you realize it

For me if you brought the camera way closer to the work that would be so much more helpful

I want one person to do slow motion close up. This is so frustrating as someone who's never picked up a crochet needle in her life.

... DID I JUST FIND A VIDEO THAT HELPS ME CROCHET BETTER?!!!!! OMG TYSM!!!!!EKEKEKKEKEK IM SO EXCITEDDDDD

oh this made way more sense than the other tutorials I've seen wow

Your amazing ive always wanted to know how to do a magic circle thank you so much your amazing your my #1

Thanks - so easy ❤

Thank your so much for teaching this!! I lowered the playback speed and it was perfect!!

Easiest of all videos. Thank you!

Thank you! Finally I got it😀

Love it! Thanks!

Thank you Thank you Thank you you made it so easy

Thank you I had a realy hard time getting haw to make it and now I finally got it it was really easy I hope I can make plushies now

I’m so glad you were going slow with it all of the other ones I have found go so fast with it I give up

I love how some people understand this and some people don't then I'm just going through the commons to see what people have been through from watching this video so I don't waste my time watching this video and not watching better tutorials😂

I never could understand why people thought the malice ring was so difficult. You don’t need to wrap it around your fingers at all.

That's great video!! Thx a lot from Japan🥰

Thank you so very much for this Megan (I hope I spelled your name correctly). This made my life easier and so as my daughter's. ❤

After watching multiple videos of people doing the MC, this one was by far the easiest. I guess it depends on how your brain is wired as to what's easiest and what's not. You keep going girl!❤

So basically this method makes it easier to see the first sc stitch in the circle instead of having it mushed together with the slip knot if we did it that way if I’m understanding? Great video as always Megan!

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE TUTORIALS ALL SAY THEY'RE EASY BUT THEY'RE NOT AND YOU GO TOO FAST!!!!!!!!!

Very easy to do it perfect❤ it

Im on the hunt for the best technique for a magic circle. I love making plushies so i make them all the time but the way i do it is so awkward for me and takes me so long. Like 2 minutes usually. Fairly, half the time my yarn doesnt want to pull closed (chenille lol) but still! Thats way too much time to start a plush! Thank you

it doesn’t matter how hard i pull it won’t close and when it did there was a loop

Try putting the slip knot onto table,tape the e nd of yarn to the table,then make a chain st,with the ball end of wool,then unstick it from table,and carry on double crocheting into magic loop until you have desired number of stitches

Can you make a pattern for the Korok in the background 🙏🏻

Subscribed for sure 👍👍

Omg thx

Perfect.

Can someone make it with bigger yarn so that we can see what's going on

I have to do mine with 2 chains I have no idea why but I screw it allllll up if I only chain 1 😂

Already knew these.

I literally cried

I swear I can never find any tut that helps me at all. I cnat

I’m not giving up on this

I literally cried on trying to make a magic circle I’m so so so so bad help me please

I just started & can’t do it

Honestly.... for those who struggle like me.... I find the "magic ring" to be pointless. I just chain 4 or 5, then slip stitch into the first chain. There.... you've got a circle. Easiest ever!!!

This was the most confusing one ever😂

This is how I’ve always been doing MC I’m so confused 😂

for folks who are struggling: highly recommend slowing the video down and zooming in (I watch these on my phone while crafting and you can just pinch to zoom in on the RU-vid app on Android)

I give up this is si hard ive watched so many tutorials videos etc but i just dont get it

🎉

I am about to throw my yarn and hook any minute now 😢

We need a chain. It’s sad.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

it's a great tutorial, but im actually stupid and have been sat on my bed crying for about 20 minutes, whenever I try to do it it just unravels the whole thing 😭

I am sooooooo bad it was sooooo hard

Not any help 😢

I GIVE UP😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I literally cannot

Never mind😅😅

😢😢😢😢😢I done rage quit

Did you really have to tell us it is green yarn????

that sounded so complicated

😭😭😭😭

OMG IMA RAGE QUIT OH WAIT.... 😢 I DID HEHE😅

Sorry WAY too fast for me

What

I’m sorry but I didn’t understand this

It is a Loose Slip Knot..not advanced!! IT IS SIMPLE

"Like, like, like, like, like, like" OMG Can't watch this.

Im broken, this is such a confusing video...

ALL THESE TUTS ARE THE SAME THEY JUST SAY MAKE A CHAIN BUT IDK HOW TO MAKE A CHAIN

You going a bit to fast

I give up 😢 I’m so tired of watching it for a long time 😢😊

You are by far the worst teacher I’ve ever watched so far
