A magic ring is a way to begin crocheting in the round by crocheting over an adjustable loop and then pulling the loop tight. The advantage of the magic ring method (below, right) is that, unlike the regular “chain 2, x single crochet in 2nd chain from hook” method (below, left), there is no hole left in the middle of your starting round.

Pattern:

R1: 8sc in magic loop

R2: 8 increases | 16sc

R3: (1sc, 1inc) x8 |24sc

R4: 1sc in each stitch | 24sc

R5: (2sc,1inc) x8 |32sc

R6- R11: 1sc in each stitch | 32sc

R12: 5sc, 10ch, skip 6sc, 10sc, 10ch, skip 6sc, 5sc

R13: 5sl st, sc along the ch, 10sl st, sc along the ch, 5sl st

Materials:

Size I or 5.5 mm hook
