Mastering the Magic Ring Crochet Technique

Step 1: Create a Loop

Hold the tail end of the yarn in your hand, then wrap the working end of the yarn around your fingers to form a loop. Make sure the working end of the yarn is on top of the tail end.

Step 2: Insert Your Hook

Insert your crochet hook into the loop from front to back. Ensure the hook is under the working end of the yarn and over the tail end.

Step 3: Pull Up a Loop

With your hook, pull the working end of the yarn through the loop to create a new loop on your hook.

Step 4: Make a Chain Stitch

Yarn over the hook and pull it through the loop on your hook. This creates a chain stitch that will secure your magic ring.

Step 5: Crochet Into the Ring

Now, crochet as many stitches as your pattern requires into the ring. Be sure to crochet over both the ring and the tail end of the yarn.

Step 6: Close the Ring

Once you've made the required number of stitches, pull the tail end of the yarn to close the ring. You've now created your magic ring!
