I learned your first way and used it for awhile. A short time ago it dawned on me that it was really just a slip knot that wasn’t pulled tight. I make my slip knots by hand so it is very natural for me. I mostly use that method now. Thanks for covering this so well for newer crocheters.
Thank you Great you found what works best for you, and yes, it is important that the magic ring doesn't put anyone off crocheting!
That was a bright idea magic circle begin like a slip knot. Thank you👍👏👏
Great, try it out!
I prefer using the magic circle method❣️ Thank you for sharing both! Have a Wonderfully Beautiful week Tuula🫂
Thank you! You too!
Thank you. This is so much easier than the way I was shown.
Great to hear!
Always use the first way. You always give us such great tutorials on stitch’s, techniques and makes. I adore your channel 🥰
Thank you so much!
@@TuulaMaaria always good to see one of your videos 🥰
Thank you, and this will always be useful to me. Thank you always.❤
You're welcome!
My fave crochet teacher!! Love her videos and all her precious knowledge and experience!
Thank you so much!
I need a ❤ instead of a thumbs up! Wonderful information! I love not just like! Wish there was a heart to give you!
Not sure I understand this comment!
Me toooooooo
Thank you so much, as always you are great at teaching new things.
Thank you!
Very clear to understand also the finishing off on magic circle.
Lovely, glad to hear! 💜
Thank you, as always I learned something on your channel!
Great to hear!
ALWAYS USEFUL TUULA & I prefer 1st one ☝️
Hi, yes, this was very useful and explained to make it very simple to follow. Thanks🎉
Thanks for showing me a different way!
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou! I started crochet only a year ago and struggle so much getting started with a magic circle. The first method will be my go to method from now forward. Clear instructions at last! Bless you ❤
Lovely, happy crocheting!
That's how I do it. It's much easier for me.
I usually use your first method. But I start my slip knot with my hook, and I need to try that method now. Brilliant!
Wonderful, do try it!
I prefer the first one since I start the slip knot with my fingers, thanks Tuula 🥰
Great if that works for you!
I prefer method #1...thank you for explaining so thoroughly!🥰
Great, thank you!
I like your way of doing it better than how I was taught. This looks easier.
Glad to hear!
Both are great tips. Can’t wait to try both to see which one I like best!! Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you, have fun experimenting!
I use the first method if/when I need to. I’ve watched many of your videos, some of them more than once. Thank you for everything you do to keep us all educated, love your videos. Love & respect💜🫂💜
Thank you so much!
Thank you. I like the first one best.
Most people seem to like that way!
Thank you 💐👍💐
Just tried it with my knitter's long tail cast on slip knot habit
Works 👍💐👍 just as well 🥰💐🥰
Oh right, yes, would work there too!
@@TuulaMaaria and I do not have to move even one fingertip to start in earnest. A definite quality of life improver 💐
Merci beaucoup 🤩 le cercle magique n’a plus de secret pour moi grâce à vous !😊
Les deux me conviennent 👍
Merci pour le partage
Thank you so much 😍
À bientôt 😊
Merci, je suis contente que la vidéo était utile!
Thank you.. I have a playlist of your tips and ever so often I’ll go through them because sometimes things aren’t relevant at the time and you can forget, so to sit and have a nice cup of tea and biscuits watching them is good around.
That's great! True, often we think of something later that we had seen - and at times we remembered where something was! Playlists are so useful!
You are a great teacher 💕💕
Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing n explaining so well,God bless you for being so generous to share your talent ❤u stay safe n blessed, love 💕 u from India.
Thank you so much! (Did you know I used to work for a while on a TH-cam channel together with an Indian youtuber, sharing differences in the Indian and Finnish cultures? - Nation Connection.)
Great video! I will have to try the other methods.
Lovely!
Thank you Tuula for always sharing with us your tips... 👌❤️💐. Looking for a happy birthday banner in crochet please 🙏
Thank you! A birthday banner might be a good idea, never thought of that!
The first way is how I (finally) learned to make a magic ring. I've seen and tried other methods, some of them totally useful, but your first way has ultimately been the easiest...again, once I got the hang of it 😅
Glad to hear!
Thank you Tuula👍 I always find the first method you used the easiest for me 😬🇬🇧
Lovely!
I will do the 1st one. Yes it was useful. ❤ I mostly use a slip knot but keep forgetting how to do the magic ring until I have seen it in your other videos.
Glad the videos have been useful!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
#1 is my preference as that is the way I learned. 🙂
Great!
Must try the "finger" version! Personally yr original magic-ring version has been transformative🎉🎉❤ its that sneaky little twist and chain that that makes the method gold for me.😅
Great, try the other one too!
@@TuulaMaariathis method broke my yarn 😭😭
@@TuulaMaariait didn't work
@@Smiley_thesmiler Wonder why! Maybe this older video would be better, it has hundreds of comments about how easy people found to do it th-cam.com/video/FFR00Ql2UKk/w-d-xo.html
This looks so much easier than wrapping it around 2 fingers. I am a lefty but am goung to try this on the hats I make for my daughters 2nd children. Thank you
Oh Hallelujah! I have fought with this for years and your excellent video has finally made it clear. Thank You XXX
Lovely to hear! Happy crocheting!
Hello from Canada. Thank you so much, Tuula, for your clear, straightforward explanations and video. There are so many tutorials for magic circle and yours is best.
Thank you so much , really glad to hear!!
Love your video helps alot
Glad to hear!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you! I need to try the slip knot method, I'm right now crocheting some body parts for my Pokemon amigurumi so I'll have plenty of chances to try out the method, hehe...
Great, that method is ideal for those!
Thank you. This video was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I use the first method of making the MC.🙏
Great!
Blessings😊
Thank you, you too!
❤❤❤
I like the first method it’s much easier than somebody other magic ring tutorials that I’ve watched
That's the easiest I find too!
Some people crochet a chain of four and join in the first to make a ring of chains ^^ then they use that as their magic ring, you just don't tighten it.
It works great if you want to keep the inner circle a bit more open, unless you crochet a lot of stitches in it.
Yes, that sounds very similar to the second method I'm showing on this video if I understood correctly. But definitely works well too.
Hi Mrs Tuula, at last I learnt how to do the magic ring correctly, I was doing it in a wrong way, that's why I couldn't tight the circle completely afterwards. Your #1 method is very helpful.
Another method, not in this video, which I learnt, is by making a slip knot, then chaining 4, and then making dc in the circle, and finally tighten.
What I don't know is if these 2 methods are used for different patterns, if you can let us know.
Thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful! There are many fairly similar methods.
These two methods both go for any pattern that needs a magic ring. It is just a personal preference.
🤗
I prefer the first. I’ve heard that a double magic ring will make the center of a granny square more secure for wear and washing. Would I simply wrap the yarn twice? Seems a bit obvious but I appreciate your advice.
NOW I realize that’s a rather stupid question when I could just try it myself!
Thank you❤
Welcome! 💗
I crochet an extra stitch for example if my first stitch is a DC I crochet 4 stitches. Then crochet my DCs in the beginning stitch. Works well for me. Sometimes I start with SC around first. For example if I needed 12 DCs, I’d chain 3 stitches then make 12 SCs in the first stitch. Then continue with my pattern of DCs after that.
Thanks for sharing!!
I normally do the first but around two fingers just for comfort
Great, works that way too!
That's an interesting new way to me. Can you get the Susan Bates finishing needles here in Finland?
No, as far as I know you can't. I ordered them from the US just for the video originally and postage and customs made the price to be about $30. You can order them from Germany and UK at times but their Amazon doesn't necessarily deliver to Finland. I checked Karnaluks in Estonia but they don't have them either. All of Susan Bates stuff is mainly sold in the US. So I'm keeping my needles carefully because I know I won't be ordering more!
Thank you so much for the information. That's rather expensive. :) Maybe they'll come to Finland someday. I'm going to try the new method the next time I need to start something that way.
I tried to do the magic ring, but I can’t do it. Maybe you could do a video a slow video on how to do the magic ring cause I tried other videos and I can’t do it.
Same. I think it works easier for her this way because of the way she holds her hook. I don’t hold my hook that way, I hold mine like a knife and I use my index finger straight. So it really depends on how you hold things.
I was able to do it. But it was very cumbersome & messy. I’m right handed and it relies a lot on using your left hand fingers.
Slow the video down from the settings. You can try out which speed would look best to follow it. You can select 0.75, 0.50 etc speed. Hope that will help!
@@LisaT_ Good it worked for you! I'm right-handed too. Like I wrote to this comment, often slowing the video down can also help in tutorials when something feels complicated.
I always do 2 strands in my circle.
That works for some, I find it causing unnecessary tugging! 😊
I have a question why when connecting another yarn to the project i see they always make a knot before doing any stitch?? what happens if you don't put a knot just attach the yarn with a stitch??
I never make knots in crochet, so definitely, there is no need for knots when you join yarn. You just take the new yarn and start.
Me neither and I've never had any problems. I make one exception though: If I make things for small children I'll make a knot for a little bit of extra security because children play rough with their toys.
@@TuulaMaaria thank you Nora
My mom and aunts have crochet all my life, I also crochet ( I'm 71 years old ) I can't remember them using this circle thing. I have never made or used a ring. WHAT DO YOU USE THEM FOR ? Please explain. Thank you
You use them in everything that is crocheted in the round, to start the circle. You can of course almost always replace the magic ring with some amount of chains, that is why some people never use it. I find this better because you can adjust the size of the hole in the middle. If you chain you have to keep trying out how many chains you need.
It would be very difficult to do any amigurumi without first starting with a magic ring.
@bettymarshall2702 what is a amigurumi ,Please ?
Toys and small animals.@@gloryannfox8368
Method 1 is how I make mine
Good to know!
Idk what but if I was you then I’d subscribe
This method broke my yarn 😭
Oh my, wonder how that is possible!!
Thank you so much! Love the first method you showed. I've been crocheting for over 20 years now, but I still struggled to remember how to make magic circles and would use 2 single crochets instead and make the next stitches into the first one, struggling because it was tight.
Great, glad it was helpful! 💗
