How to Crochet a Magic Ring
A magic ring is a great way to start a crochet project. Granny squares, amigurumi, hats etc...all need a nice start, this creates a tight ring.
You will need:
Crochet hook
Corresponding sized yarn
Step One:
Wrap tail of yarn around two fingers. Overlap yarn like you are going to tie a knot. End with the feed yarn at the back to the left.
Step Two:
Insert needle into ring, pull yarn through to front. Chain up two. This counts as the first single crochet.
Step Three:
Single crochet around ring according to the pattern. Here we are creating 12. Treat the two strands as one.
Step Four:
When you have crocheted the required amount of stitches, pull the tail to pull the stitches close together.
It should look like this.
What it would look like if you use a double crochet.
