Magic Ring Tutorial

I use the Magic Ring for a lot of my designs because it makes a nice tight and neat center for blocks and motifs.  Its easy too - here's how to make it...


Begin with the yarn tail to the left and the working yarn to the right.

Make a loop like this...


Insert your hook through the loop, from front to back, catch the working yarn and pull a loop through to the front.


Chain 1.


Ta Da, now you are ready to work the first round.  Work over the yarn tail as you go.


When the first round is complete, tug on the yarn tail to pull the loop closed.


When you've finished your motif, make sure to sew the yarn tail in securely to stop the Magic Loop from loosening up.

Happy Hooking!\
