Yarn over once more and pull that loop through all other loops on the hook.
So I am going to show you how I do it. This is wonderful…..wish I had found it much sooner!! Thanks so much!!! This confused me, because the technique was so easy.Let me know in the comments below if you like this Magic Circle technique.For this Magic Circle Tutorial you will need to know the difference between the yarn tail and your working yarn. (Or as many as you pattern calls for. This gives us a hint. Hdc chain 2, dc chain 3, etc, just like a turning chain. From here, you either work in rounds or in spirals according to your pattern. Was it easier or harder than the other way? What if I ever want to make a doily or coaster? When crocheting a circle, patterns typically say to increase 6 stitches every round, which relates to pi, or 3.14. Hopefully, there’s not an evil gremlin somewhere.Bummer. (Or however many single crochets your pattern calls for.) You are exactly right.Once you complete step 9, you will need to make 2 (for half-double crochet), 3 (for double) or 4 (for treble crochet) chain stitches. The dome of the hat gets pointy and it appears the initial ring is the issue when it is actually later rows causing the problem.Please let me know if you found my magic circle tutorial useful.Yay!
Quite often the circle comes out lopsided or more oval than circle and often leaves a large hole in the center.I’m left handed and i figured it out. You are a lifesaver!
Once you get the basic idea down, you will most likely find a different way to do this. Most of the time when you use a magic ring, you will use single crochet, so for this example I have chained one. I don’t have any suggestions for you I’m afraid other than trying to wrap the yarn around your right hand. If I were to use the magic circle with double crochets, I would start the exact same way, but instead of stopping at the ch-1, I’d ch-2 or maybe ch-3 (if I wanted that to count as the first st of the round). Continue making the tall crochet stitch around the ring for the appropriate number of times called for by the pattern you are following.So, if you don’t want all of your hard work to fall apart, weave the tail into your stitches before trimming it.Thank you, thank you, thank you!Pull the sting to tighten the circle as shown in step 16.
For most Half Double Crochet patterns you will start with 9 Half Double Crochet in the first row and 12 stitches in the first row when using Double Crochet. This chain will not count in your total stitch count for your circle.06/27/09 – Added instructions for making a crochet circle with tall stitches.Anyway, I have three suggestions…If you are making an Amigurumi or other project that is worked in spiral rings rather than rows, use a regular stitch to join your ring. Start with a magic ring.
"I tried to follow this and adapt it as I am left-handed but I just couldn’t figure it out My issue is, they don’t lay flat. I have dial-up internet, & good photo tutorials are hard to find. But it drives me nuts! Check out more of my tutorials while you are here.I hunted down some Youtube Videos to see what the matter was, and I discovered I have a different method when making the Magic Circle.
Creative things happening here and I'm not always neat about it.
