    This really adds a lot of clarity! Thank you so much 😊! I’ve watched several videos and nobody ever clarified 1) how to hold the yarn 2) wether or not to do a slip stitch and 3) how many chains to make! My ‘beginner’ pattern just said “start with a magic ring, crochet 6 double crochets into the circle.” This was so helpful, really!

    You do a great job of explaining this.
    I learned to crochet from my great-grandmother - she taught me an extremely simple magic circle cheat, and from what I can tell, there is no practical difference between the easy-cheat and the magic circle. It's very easy to show but kind of hard to explain with words. You make a slip-knot just like you'd do to start a chain, except you turn the yarn direction around so that the end you pull to tighten the loop is the tail end of the yarn instead of the skein-side end. Once you've made the backward-facing slip knot, you should be able to tighten the loop size by pulling on the tail end. Make the loop big enough to work in it comfortably. After you've made the backward slip-not, turn the knot around so it's facing the normal direction with the skein-side end in front. Put your hook through the big loop, yarn over, pull through the center of the loop, yarn over and pull through to make a chain, then make two more chains (for a double crochet). Yarn over, go through the center of the big loop again and make your appropriate number of double crochets all through the center of the big loop. Once you've finished, you can pull the tail end to tighten the center hole down to almost nothing. Magic!
    Hopefully that was understandable.

    I’m making beanies again, after making afghans and throws for several months. Needed a magic circle refresher, and you’ve provided a good tutorial, very easy to follow. Hang in there, crocheters, it’s worth your time to learn this technique. I only threw one or two hooks and balls of yarn out the window before I caught on. 😂🧶

    i feel you have the clearest and best magic ring explanation on youtube, ive seen two of your videos and they are great. most videos assume u know which end of the yarn is the tail when u first start and that can make a huge difference. also you're hot :) have a nice day

  • @AndiTointonLivingAGoodLife

    This way using the double crochet has made me a nice ring that I can actually see where the next stitches are going to go.
    The other ways I have used so far have made the ring too tiny and difficult to work with. So this is a good way of doing the magic circle ☺️

    You just made my life incredibly better, I love to crochet ( 3 months now ) but always hated to start a new project. I can do the magic circle but no one ever said that I should be doing a dbl crochet in the magic circle. I always just made a single crochet, and I could never find my first stitch, or even the other stitches easily. Thank you so much!

  • @manondejong255
    @manondejong255 Před 4 měsíci

    You are the only person that made me achieve the magic ring (should’ve been called the ring of doom but k). All the steps in the videos I watched were so easy to follow and everything went fine until I pulled the string and it didn’t fully close the circle. It was so frustrating. After a few hours of trying, searching, etcetera I came to your video and you really helped! The yarn took big place into doing it and your finger placements were really clear. Thanks!

  • @theastewart6721

    Oh. My. God. I literally just spent the last 3 1/2 hours going through videos trying to figure this stupid stitch out. It was SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING, but I am extremely stubborn. Anyway, eventually I stumbled upon this video, and something about the way you explained / demonstrated starting the ring made it FINALLY CLICK FOR ME! I have several discarded attempts in a pile next to my left, and now one on my hook that doesn't look terrible!
    I am going to keep coming back to this video until I have it down by muscle memory. Thank you so much!

    I'm finding that with crooked fingers and arthritis it's just really ridiculously hard. I AM tired tonight and fighting sciatica pain so I may have to try again tomorrow. But thank you for your help and encouragement! Knowing that I'm not the only one having a hard time with this makes me feel a bit better I'm really excited to start crocheting again after soooo many years. I'm 64 and my grandmother taught me when I was a girl. I had a family and got into other crafting like painting, which I did at night while the wild three were sleeping. I had to totally give up crosstitch because counting with three little ones, two with ADHD, was just impossible lolol. But I remember my grandfather always had busy work in her lap when I went to visit and I'd like to be more like that. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time sitting and I can't master the magic hoop lying down! I've tried numerous times. It's just led to frustration.
    If you have any advice for people whose fingers are not as nimble or straight as they once were, please do a video on it! I'd be grateful! God bless you and yours.

      Dear Tracy: I started to get rheumatoid arthritis in my hands a few years ago; my finger joints had become so swollen, I cried each time I had to close my fingers down on anything. That’s when I discovered fresh ginger, turmeric and black pepper. Well . . . I made a gallon soup pot of tea using those ingredients and drank that tea throughout the days. What I didn’t drink on the first day, I left simmering on my hot plate for the next. Well, Dear One . . . The swelling of my fingers went completely down and (except for one slightly misshaped pointer finger on my left hand), I no longer have any swollen or painful finger joints. I’m 75 years old this year and continue to use turmeric and ground black pepper in almost everything I eat. I’m not a doctor, so, please check with yours to be sure there are no contraindications for your particular health issues.
      God Bless you and yours always and in all ways in Jesus’ Holy, Mighty and Victorious in the Highest and to the Uttermost Name. Amen and So Be It! 🕊🙏🏻😘❤️🌹

    @user-kd7un9pz1p Před rokem

    Thank you so very much. I had watched so many other videos each one so different. I am still having trouble finding a comfortable way to hold my thread.
    What I was missing was holding the thread and where the tail was and where the working thread went. It wasn’t till you said turn your pinky up for the working thread and I said what. When we started that is where the tail usually is. So my thread was backward and tail would not close the loop.
    In learning all the other stitches you start with rapping the end or tail around your pinky. No one had explained to do the magic ring it was opposite. Until I actually noticed, after watching and backing your video at least 2 dozen times. However, thanks to you I had a closed ring the very first time the tread was wrapped correctly.

    Hi Brittany:
    Thank you so much for B.Hooked TV. I'm already a fan of your CZcams video channel and your blog and think this new format is great!
    I'm a self-taught crocheter who learned to crochet using size 10 thread and tiny steel crochet hooks.
    I've been working on the magic ring a lot and can see some progress! I've been successful at making the ring but I still find it somewhat challenging, to say the least!
    Your tutorial is really helpful. I like it that you were so very thorough with your explanation of exactly how to place your fingers. I think that's the key to being successful in making the magic ring. I will definitely try your method!
    My biggest problem is with reading and understanding crochet charts. I learned to crochet by reading written patterns and the crochet charts look like a foreign language to me! Lol If you have the time, maybe you could do a little tutorial on reading charts. That would really be helpful to me. Thanks!

  • @BarbaraHarden
    @BarbaraHarden Před rokem +1

    In the tutorial you might consider pointing out it the tail (ending or working tail ) is on top or bottom or bottom during each step. For example when you are holding onto the ring after you’ve made your first chain, when you’ve dropped the ring to get a more comfortable position, when you start to secure the ring. Not knowing which tail is top or bottom can sabotage you when you start to pull the tail because it can twist preventing closure. Also fore people who tend to make stitches tight, closure can be difficult. Keeping those stitches looser creates greater success especially for those doing the magic ring for the first time.

  • @hodgeelmwood8677
    @hodgeelmwood8677 Před 3 lety

    This is a very clear explanation, and I think you for that. My only sticking point is, if having a lot of stitches done in the magic ring means you end up with a hole in the middle anyway, then what is the advantage to doing it this way as opposed to doing it the old way? Seems like the best thing would be to learn both methods, and decide which method to use based on how you start your crochet project; if you're going to do a lot of stitches in the ring, then use the starting method that you're most comfortable with because you're going to have to close that gap anyway.

A few videos came up before yours and I watched each for a few minutes before I decided they were terrible. Yours is so clear and I appreciate the "why you'd use it" part of the video and the details of where to put my fingers at all times while making this magic ring and crocheting into it and tightening it up and weaving in the tail. The cheat is nice too! I will definitely watching more of your videos. Your comments about struggling to do the magic ring are so kind and encouraging.

    I, too, felt so good when I finally got it. I also advise to keep trying until you do, but your little cheat will help someone who gets a little frustrated. This is an excellent lesson for you to get it. Good luck to those. What I can't do and have walked away from is the foundationless chain thingy. I forget what it's called, lol, I'll go back and try again, but right now I can't.

      Hi Sylvia:
      You'll get it and when you do, you'll wonder what was so scary about it! Lol Using it is a great way to make sure that your foundation chain isn't smaller and tighter than the rest of the project. This method of working the foundation chain is really stretchy so the foundation chain isn't too tight. Before I knew how to do it (I still refer to a video tutorial when I use it to make sure I'm doing it right), I used to just use a crotchet hook one or two sizes larger for the foundation chain. Then once the chain was made, I'd switch back to the size hook I was going to use for the pattern. This helped keep the initial chain looser. You've mastered the magic loop; I'm still working on mastering it! But I'm getting better. Like Brittany said, I've got to keep practicing! You practice some more on the Chainless Foundation Chain and I'll practice on the magic loop, and we'll meet in the middle! 🙂 Crocheting is really so much fun and with great teachers like Brittany, it's just getting better! 👌

      @@char8059 Thank you so much for the encouragement. You'll find the same when you master the magic loop! I agree, crocheting is so much fun and everything is mastered by practice. I remember when I first started and look at me now *BIG SMILES* Let's keep learning and growing in this awesome craft.

    Take the slight of hand and complication of a magic circle out.
    Make any slip knot, leaving the working tail long enough to sc over. Go into the slip knot loop and sc, for instance x 6. Do this Over the loop strand and the non working tail both. Once done pull gently on the non working yarn tail.
    Walla. Magic circle .
    Yes. It stays. I do all kinds of crochet including amigarumi which is mostly a bunch of circles, increases and decreases to pattern. I use this way always. I don't understand complicated. But of course you can do all the fancy finger work if you prefere...I guess I just like magic to be simple!
