Magic Ring

How do I crochet a magic ring? Do I double the stitches in every row?

Thanks for your help
Monika
 

Hi Monika,
the magic ring is a special loop used to start a project. Try searching Google Images and enter:
“crocheting a magic ring” or “magic ring crochet.” There you’ll find lots of illustrations and photos that show you exactly how it’s done.

I wrote an explanation about this in the blog:

Of course, there’s also a video about it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fIGsD6MrKJg.
In it, eliZZZa from Nadelspiel demonstrates the magic ring. But really, Karin’s blog should be enough—it’s just that some people learn better from videos than from text and pictures. It just depends on the person. You’ll get the hang of the magic ring.

Thank you so much—it’s actually really easy!
Best regards
Monika
