The Magical Circle
I have seen in some patterns that we are to use something called the magical circle. Is this very hard to learn? Is this a better way than using a chain then joining? I havent heard of this before last year, is this a new technique?To crochet a magic circle, start by wrapping the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, keeping the tail end behind the working yarn. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Chain one to secure, then crochet the required stitches into the ring. Finally, pull the tail end to tighten the circle closed. The magic circle is great because it creates a tight, adjustable center with no hole, making it perfect for amigurumi, hats, or any project worked in the round where a neat start is important.
