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!

In this round, we’re going to learn about increases. Increases help us shape our crochet projects and are a basic technique.

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 into a stitch, that's called a single stitch. But if you make two single stitches in the same stitch, that’s an increase! 🎉 So, doubling your single stitch creates an increase!

Now that you’ve got it, let’s take a look at the pattern for this round and continue our crochet adventure! 🚀💖

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

Please follow the video：

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.

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.
