What is this ‘Magic Ring’, anyway?
A magic ring is a way to begin crocheting in the round by crocheting over an adjustable loop and
then pulling the loop tight. The advantage of the magic ring method (below, right) is that, unlike the
regular “chain 2,
x single crochet in 2nd chain from hook” method (below, left), there is no hole left
in the middle of your starting round.
L: ch2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 2 sc in each st around.
R: magic ring, 6 sc in magic ring, 2 sc in each st around.
How do I make a Magic Ring?
Please note: in the following photos, the starting yarn tail is always on the left and hanging down.
The working yarn begins on the right and is then picked up over my left forefinger in Step 2.
1. Make a loop a few inches from the end of your yarn. Grasp the join of the loop (where the 2
strands of yarn overlap) between your left thumb and forefinger:
2. Insert hook into the loop from front to back. Draw up a loop:
3. Ch 1. Note: this does NOT count as a stitch:
4. Insert hook into the loop, so you are crocheting over the loop and the yarn tail. Draw up a
loop to begin your first sc:
5. Complete the sc. Continue to crochet over the loop and the yarn tail until you have the
required number of sc for your first rnd (6 sc shown here):
6. Grab the yarn tail and pull to draw the centre of the ring tightly closed:
7. Begin your second round by crocheting into the first stitch of the first round (below, left). At
the end of round 2 your work will look like this (below, right):
You’ll never go back to your old method again.
