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  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!

Single Stitch

Before learning the single stitch.

We need to know some crochet patterns.

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

sc --  single crochet

Round 1

Crochet 5 single stitches in Round 1. Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

sc x 5   (5)

Since the pattern is: sc --  single crochet,

and sc x 5  means 5 single stitches,

(5)  means the total stitches.

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

Increase stitch

In this round, we need to learn the increase stitch.

Increases in stitches

 An increase stitch is making two single stitches in the same hole, that is all.

Round 2

Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

inc x 5   (10)

Since 1 increase stitch = 2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch,

1 increase stitch counts as 2 stitches.

This means the pattern could've also been written like this:

[2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch] x 5

And

2 stitches x 5 = 10 total stitches

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

Now this round will be easy for U,

Round 3

[sc, inc] x 5 (15)

Or with a lot more words:

  [1 single crochet stitch,1 increase crochet stitch] for a total of 5 times= 15 stitches

Since 1 increase crochet stitch is 2 single crochet stitches

that is:

[ 1 stitch+2 stitches] *5=15 stitches

Go ahead with the video:

Round 4

[sc, inc, sc] x 5 (20)

Do 1 single crochet at first.

Then 1 increase crochet in the one after that.

Finally, crochet 1 single crochet.

Repeat 1 single crochet;1 increase crochet,1 single crochet

Repeat that sequence of stitches 5 times. You'll have 20 V's once you've finished this round.

Please follow the video：

Round 5

Round 6

Look at the face of the penguin, we need to change the color from rounds 6 - 8,It makes it difficult for you to do this,  don't worry!follow the video and step-by-step instructions, you can do it.

The pattern of round 6  :

Round 10

[8sc, inc] x 3

(30)

Please follow the video：

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 Round 7-8, 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!

Round 11

[ 9sc,  inc  ] x 3

(33)

Round 12

[ inc, 10sc] x 3

(36)

Before we go to Round 13, 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 a single crochet.

Round 13

sc x 34，dec x 1

 (35)

Round 14

11sc ,  [sc, dec] x 3, 15sc

(32)

We divide the 14 rows into three parts: part A, part B, and part C

     Part A: [11sc] 

That means crocheting 11 single stitches after part A.

Part B: [sc, dec] x 3

       That means crocheting one single stitch and one decrease stitch in the next, repeat this pattern 3 times.

Part C:  15sc

That means crocheting 15 single stitches 

     (32)

        That means there are 32 stitches in this round.

OK, I know you already understand a little bit.

Now, let go on!

Round 15

1dec ，24sc，3dec 

 (28)

Round 16

[2sc, dec] ,    [3sc, dec] x 4,  [2sc, dec]

(22)

Part A: [2 sc, dec] 

       That means crocheting 2 single stitches and one decrease stitch in the next.

Part B: [3sc, dec] x 4

       That means crocheting 3 single stitches and one decrease stitch in the next, repeating this pattern 4 times.

Part C : [2 sc, dec] 

       That means crocheting 2 single stitches and one decrease stitch in the next.

     (22)

        That means there are 22 stitches in this round.

Now follow the video:
