3 Alternatives to a Magic Ring/Circle! (Easy Tutorial)

Do you struggle to make the Magic Ring/Circle when starting your crochet? In this tutorial I show you how to make a ring using 3 different methods that (in my opinion) are easier, less fiddly, and more secure than the "normal" method of making a Magic Ring. The first method is using the first chain instead of a magic ring, the second is to make the tradition chain ring, and the third is my own way of doing a double magic ring. Each of these methods has it's pros and cons that I show in this video also, and compare each method side by side. I also offer recommendations of when it is advantageous to use one technique over another. In this tutorial I am using a 6mm hook and James C Brett Chunky with Merino yarn. ✨ About Meema Makes ✨ Hi!
