Small Magic circle

rolter

I have difficulty making magic circle with few stitches like 4 sc in the magic circle and 4 sc in the following rounds.  Any advice to make it easier?

For a 4-stitch magic circle, keep your loop loose enough so you can easily work your stitches without the yarn tightening too soon. Use a smaller hook than usual to help control the tension, and take your time inserting the stitches evenly around the loop. After crocheting the stitches, gently pull the tail to close the circle tight—this way your center will be neat without gaps. Practicing the motion slowly a few times really helps it feel more natural and less fiddly.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Keep your circle quite large until you have completed the last stitch, then pull it closed & slip stitch to join. That way you can almost crochet in a row which I find a bit easier :)

It is a bit fiddly for the first couple of rows :/

That is hard moment, those couple rows.
I use other end of my hook to pusch mgr stitches down. It is hard to explain.

I make sure to use markers so you know which one is the first stitch, which will make it easier to know where to start the next round.

I tend to do a ch2 for little loops, easier than a migic circle that leaves a hole...

well, I use Embellish-Knit tool or rope maker it have four needles and its very easy to give me the required rope or I-cord then I can manage the length required and attach it to my doll or accessory or whatever project I am doing it also have a lot of projects ideas
you can Google "Embellish Knit" and you will find a lot of images and Videos for the tool :)
I hope this solved your problem , good luck and enjoy
