You are quick 👏.Now I see why people have multiple projects going cannot wait to start my evil eye squares.Now I HAVE to buy this yarn 😂 always wanted to get my hands on this yarn and you just gave me the perfect excuse or should I say project lol Thank you so much for this tutorial.
@@Sombra7567 No thank you for taking the time and sharing it with us and all the neat tips and tricks you made the magic circle look the easiest out of anybody I've seen and weaving in the ends *chef's kiss*👌. Thank you 🖤
I showed my daughter evil eye tutorials and told her to choose which one she liked for a blanket and she chose this one right away 😍. It was my first choice too. 😊 Thank you so much for the very easy tutorial.
I’ve been looking for the perfect evil eye granny square to make a summer bag with and this design looks perfect because there’s less holes and all the rounds are circular. Thanks for making a great tutorial!
I'm curious as to why every single evil eye thing I see, shows the iris in blue. Is there a reason? I like your pattern, has less holes than thers I've seen
Glad you like the pattern! I actually had the same question when I started working on this and decided to research it. Turns out an evil eye can be different colors, each with its own meaning. A blue evil eye, specifically dark blue like the one in the pattern, signifies protection from bad karma or evil spirits. I'm making a blanket with these squares so I guess I'll have tons of protection from bad spirits lol!
@@Sombra7567 OOH! TY so much, for the tutorial and your VERY quick response! Glad I have a stash of blue yarn I had leftover from project I did last year, now I know what to use it on :)
Ok, so I THINK (not entirely sure about this) you can start by chaining two and putting 12 double crochets into your first chain. Once I get home, I'll try it to see if it'll work.
Ok, I got it! 1. Chain 4 2. In your first chain (or the fourth chain from your hook), put 11 double crochets. You should see the circle taking shape as you make the double crochets. 3. To close your circle, you're going to slipstitch into the top or third chain at the beginning of the circle. Then I think you should be able to do the other rounds as normal. So basically the first chain of the chain 4 is acting as the magic loop. The extra chain 3 is the turning chain for the double crochet, which is why you only need to put 11 doubles into the first stitch after that. If this doesn't make any sense, lemme know (I am NOT great at explaining things lol). But I can post a video tomorrow if you need a visual reference.

I can't crochet but it's pretty cool to watch someone work on it.
Hey, just lemme brainwash you a little into learning how to crochet-
Happy to learn...btw, you might wanna check the community posts... There's a certain Sonic Fic that's been updated.
Also, I didn't know there was different categories for yarn
@@itsabouttome Yep! I think they vary based on the thickness of the yarn. So a category 4 yarn in this case is medium.

Is there anyway to start this without a magic loop I cannot seem to get the hang of them
Ok, so I THINK (not entirely sure about this) you can start by chaining two and putting 12 double crochets into your first chain. Once I get home, I'll try it to see if it'll work.
@@Sombra7567 thank you very much X
