I know this was published several years ago, but I’ve only discovered and started using your channel for about a week. Just wanted to say I personally find the Bobby pin method of marking much easier than the traditional piece of yarn as a marker. Feels so much more secure as I move around! Thank you!
I've been crocheting for a couple years now and I was always using those little mini plastic safety pins you get in the knitting section but they are cumbersome and sometimes break. I just now saw this video and now using the Bobby pin and it is way better!
Omg you are an incredible teacher! Thank you so so much. I finally understand. I didn't realize that it was 2 single crochet every second stitch and a single crochet between them and I kept ending up with WAY TOO MANY STITCHES. You explained it so well and clearly and the light bulb in my brain went off and I understood. You are indeed a Crochet Guru.
Well done. I've been crocheting off and on for decades. Mostly making afghans and other pieces in which loose patterns and "holes" are desirable. I'm embarking on arigurumi, which requires a different mindset. Your videos are exacty what I needed to refresh my skills. Thanks for tip about increasing each round the same number of stitches you started with. Brilliant. Love the Magic Circle. Brava!
You’re amazing!! I’ve been crocheting for years and just learned how to accurately crochet in the round and using a stitch marker!! Hooray for you!! Thanks so much!! 🧶💜🎉
I agree with Shawna, I have watched loads of videos as a dear friend bought me some pattern packs for Christmas. I have never picked up a crochet needle up before so needed to understand the basics. Thank you so much for your clean and concise instructions.
Thank you so much. I have just started crocheting and found a pattern for a great hat I wanted to try. I have looked at several other tutorials and been struggling for hours getting nowhere. I have just tried as per your tutorial and have successfully crocheted two rounds. I can't thank you enough
Thank you! I got a book as my reason to start but crocheting is definitely something I have to see to understand. And you are so clear and easy to follow!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I've watched so many videos & was just about to give up, but I found your video & it all now makes sense to me. So thank you. 😁
Finally - an easy to understand video & instructor!! I've been knitting for almost 15 years, and I'm trying to learn how to crochet. You've made it easier to understand. Thank you! :)
very helpful! thanks for explaining the increases for each round! I wanted to 'write' my own pattern and didn't remember how...I will remember now! easy to follow and very clear.
Thank you so much for these videos ,you are so easy to follow never thought I'd learn to crochet but I have succeeded to learn this new skill thanks to you.
Barbara Brittain Thank you for your easy to follow crochet videos. I watched the video about crocheting in the round. I was beginning to think I would only be able to crochet in straight rows! Thanks for expanding my world of crochet.
Thank you!! I bought this jellyfish crochet set from michaels and they do not discuss the round thing and i was struggling! This was so super helpful and now i think i can get somewhere on this
Thank you so so so sooooo much!!!! ive been trying to learn crochet by my self and something about this video made this pattern just click, I suddenly understood what I was doing and it was amazing!! i have a little palm sized circle now and am gonna continue until i can cover my cat and dog in a tiny warm blanket
I enjoyed this tutorial. I had been following another one, but would get mixed up when completing the round and starting a new one....on where to put the marker, and where to put the first stitch. You tutorial was easy to follow and clear...also was easy to see the stitches etc. Thank you. Will check out your other tutorials!
Thank you! I tried to learn from other videos.ive been trying over a month. Just clicked your way...i can only say thank you!!!! Finally it's round & looks like something ;)
Thank you, SO much. I'm making coasters (beginner) and the sides were coming up wanting to form a cup. I get it now. Again, thank you! Your video is very easy to understand which is very important. Nancy
Thank you so much, now I can make that beret I've been wanting to make. Joining a 12 inch circle to a band that I'll crochet the circumference of my head! May have to gather the circle a bit first!
Thank you Bobbie for an excellent tutorial. I have been crocheting for many many years now and clicked on your tutorial by mistake and watched regardless probably because you were well spoken and easy to understand. Will keep an eye out for your other tutorials as I am sure I could always find something I either didn't know or why it was done that way.
Great stuff, it doesn't seem complicated like the magic circle one does. I'll definitely be doing this your way in future. Thanks again for the tips. 💗💯👍👏👏👏
Hi ddma... Thank you for your post and as for your question. Rnd 6: (sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc). Rnd 7: (sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc). So you are correct except for the last part. Instead of 2 sc it is actually only 1. I hope that helps!
Great job! However I didn't have enough time to read the pattern example at the end. Since I'm a "visual" thinker, I would've really benefited from being able to read the pattern example. Thank you for your instruction!
You have the best crochet videos on youtube! Thanks so much! I've learned so much from your tutorials!! And finally! I can finally crochet a clean circle after many attempts. Can you please do a tutorial for making different shapes like stars and triangles? I'm learning how to make stuffies and it's really hard! My boyfriend has requested me to make him a jirachi pokemon stuffy, but I don't know how, and I'd love to surprise him with one :) Thanks!!! Tricia
Thank you for such a clear and easy to understand video! I'm trying to make a DIY door knob cover to keep my toddler from opening ing bathroom doors and I couldn't remember how to start a round shape
Hi! Love you video! I have found other videos for making hats and such but now I was looking for a video for working in a round and this one is super helpful! Thanks for uploading! I do have one question though: in order to continue increasing the size of your work, would continue to increase each round by 6 stitches by continuing the sc 1 and sc 2 pattern until you get your desired size?
Hi there. I haven’t crocheted in 40+ years but my granddaughter really wants a Harry Potter which is crochet… and it’s done with DK yarn on 2.5mm 😳 Your teachings have been so amazing. I started with magic loop and crocheting in the round flat. Question: when creating a tube, do I chain 1 at the end of each round before going onto the next round in order to step up, if you know what I mean. And, do I still go into the 2nd stitch or is that just for the first round?
Sometimes watching too many videos and too many teachers can be confusing. I recommend that you find a few people that you like and stick with their channels for learning the basics. After you are more proficient, then branch out. keep at it; you'll get it! ;-)
Your video tutorials are super useful for beginners like me! Thanks a lot Bobby. I have a small query however. After i tried step 2 of your method 1 and counted how many stitches i had, there seemed to be 7 and not six, where have i gone wrong?
Hi Jackie, By reading what you explained it sounded like you are probably not doing it correctly...but don't get discouraged. (sc in next 2 sc) this means to place 1 single crochet into the next 2 single crochets. (2 sc in next 2 sc) this means to place 2 single crochets into only (1) the next single crochet. I hope that helps if not let me know and I will try to explain it further!!
Then isn't it written wrong? Shouldn't it be written "2sc in the next sc". The way you wrote it sounds like you do 2 single crochets in each of the next 2 stitches...
I'm a crochet beginner. I followed your instructions making a circle. I had no problems with the circle starting to form a dome. However, I did have problems with it ruffling, as if there were too many stitches. So, I pulled my work back out and started over 2 more times. But, it continued to start to ruffle as my circle got bigger. Can you advise as to what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it. Thanks.
hi Bobbie, i'm learning from you. Your videos are the best! Thanks for all. I have a question about this example, i start with 6 sc in magic ring, in second row i get 12 and in third row i get 18 as you said. but in forth i can not get 24, it is always 26. Why? Is it because of just starting sc in next 2sc and 2sc in next 2sc as in the pattern? where do i make mistake?
I believe in the fourth round it goes: Single in 1 stitch Single in 1 stitch Single in 1 stitch 2 singles in one stitch. 1.2.34.5.6.78.9.10.1112.13.14.1516.17.18.1920.21.22.2324... What I did was try to separate each stitch with the period but showing the the stitch number 3&4 will go into one stitch... I hope that makes sense...
Hi, your video is fone nicely ,easy to understand,I fo have a question. I've been trying to crochet in the round but always get confused on the formula to increase, I can't get it for some reason but I think I might have it now by liking at your written instructions do if I were to continue on, would this be right.... Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next 2sc, Rnd 7: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next 2 sc, and so on?
hi bobby!! I've been following you and i learn a lot from your videos but u never mention how to end the circle project and thats where am stuck...please do explain that too.. thank you
Oh my god!!! I watched so many videos and this is the first one where I actually got it
And me. Thank you.
I'm making my first amigurumi and I was soo confused by the pattern. This helped so much! Thank you!

I need this on DVD or something so I can play it over and over for my students.

i love that you always find a yarn color to match your nails LOL :D
Thank you for this clear tutorial!
You're welcome and thanks for your comment!
I absolutely LOVE that you say the circle will LIE flat!! It is not LAY flat, as everyone seems to say these days. Hens LAY!! :)

Wow this is the most detailed and easy crochet work yet for some reason I can't even do a magic ring lmao

Thanks so much for your clear video! Now I feel more confident - I keep trying - I think I am watching too many videos and confusing myself!
