How to make a magic ring

Next, we're going to start our first lesson on how to create a magic ring. We'll teach you using very simple methods, so there's no need to worry!

******Start with the Blue or Pink yarn

How to use a crochet ring

We understand that many beginners might find it challenging to hold the yarn, so we've created a helpful tutorial on using a crochet ring. If you still feel unsure about holding the yarn after finishing your first round, we invite you to watch this video for some guidance!

Round 1

we’re going to crochet 6 single stitches. So, what is a single stitch? It’s the most fundamental technique in crochet! We’ll also guide you through it step by step in the video below!

Single Stitch

The pattern is written in US terminology and crocheted in the round

sc -- single crochet

So, in Round 1, crocheters love abbreviations, and in pattern language, that's written as:

sc x 6   (6)

Since the pattern is: sc --  single crochet,

and sc x 6  means 6 single stitches,

(6)  means the total stitches.

OK, I know you already understand a little bit.

In this video, I will show you how to crochet the single crochets.

Now, let go on!

Wow！ You've done the hardest round,
what‘s proving you have a talent for crocheting?
All you need to do is keep patient!

Round 2

increase Stitch

The pattern is written in US terminology and crocheted in the round

inc -- increase crochet

You’ll be happy to know that increases are built on single stitches! If you’ve mastered the single stitch, then increases will be a piece of cake for you!
Let me share a simple way to think about it:

when you make one single stitch in a stitch, that’s called a single stitch.

But if you make 2 single stitches in the same stitch, that’s an increase.

So, doubling your single stitch creates an increase!

Now I think you got it! let's show the pattern of this round and go on crochet!

inc x 6   (12)

Round 3

Good job! You've learned to crochet the single stitch and increase stitch.

Now this round will be easy for U,

[sc, inc] x 6 (18)

Or with a lot more words:

  [1 single crochet stitch,1 increase crochet stitch] for a total of 6 times=18 stitches

If you want to see where we're going with Round 3, watch this video:

Round 4

[2sc, inc] x 6 (24)

Or with a lot more words:

  [2 single crochet stitches,1 increase crochet stitch] for a total of 6 times=24 stitches

If you want to see where we're going with Round 4, watch this video:

You've made it past the hard part – figuring out the motions and following a pattern.
For the next few rounds, you'll keep on practicing the SC and INC stitches:

Round 5 

this is :

All the single stitches in this round.

Great!

Let's go!

24 sc   (24)

Round 6

[5 sc, inc] x 4   (28)

Let's go!

Right side & Wrong side

 In crochet, the “Right Side” and “Wrong Side” refer to the two sides of a piece of crochet fabric. The right side is the side of the fabric that is typically seen or displayed, while the wrong side is the side that is usually hidden or not seen.

Follow the video to understand what the right side and wrong side are.

Rounds 7-14

 30 sc  (30)

this is :

All the single stitches in rounds 7-9.

Relax and keep going!

Add safety eyes

Safety eyes aren’t safe for children younger than 3 years old, or pets. please take care!

1. It may be between Rounds 6 and 7; count it from the top. find two points in the middle, insert 2 pins to mark
2 Replace a pin with a bead

3. Turn the piece over so you can see the end of the bead

4. place the washer, flat side toward your piece, onto the bead.

5. Put the safety eye on a table and push down on the washer with both thumbs, so that it cinches the fabric evenly

DONE!

Before we go to Round 15, we need to know the decrease (dec) stitch.

Decrease (dec) Stitch

Decreasing in Single Crochet, dec (This pattern is written in US terminology)

*Joining two single crochet stitches together at the top to make it become one stitch is how you decrease in single crochet. This tutorial teaches you step-by-step how to decrease in crochet.

Round 15

[3 sc, dec] x 6  (24)

That is:

[ 3 single crochet stitches, 1 decrease crochet stitch ] *6=24 stitches

Please see the video to go on.

Round 16

  [ 2sc, dec] x 6  (18)
