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?

Just keep at it I found that I kept having problems not being able to pull it tight  so I kept watching youtube videos on it
One problem was not having the tail end wrapped around your finger.  Or I was catching the yarn with the last crochet stitch in the circle that prevented me from pulling it closed.
Once you get it  you will find it easier to do ever time now it is like second nature.  As far as working with 4 on 4 stitches  try and get your work to the right side as soon as possible this will help  yes it will be tight.
I usually pinch the tube closed to work that few of stitches, just be careful not to pick up the stitch behind it.

creo que a la hora de envolver el hilo entre sus dedos, lo puede hacer en lugar de dos dedos, con uno y asegurar que den las vueltas correctas, espero le sea de ayuda.

I can't seem to get the hang of doing the magic circle at all. I will keep on trying but I usually wind up doing it the old fashioned way!!! Maybe someday!! lol

I normally make the first stitch a bit loose so that I can insert my hook easier on the next round, and I wrap the yarn twice not once so it's tighter

Thanks for your advice!!!

Thanks for sharing!

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...

i prefer the "ch 2" method also.. i find it saves time

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

it really isn't easy. when i have to sc 4 in the round, i usually try to go pull the yarn through via the side.. it's hard to explain..

i hate small rounds.. really can't help it tho
