    This is how I prefer to do it too. To me it's easier and more reliable. Great tutorial.

      I agree so much.

      I agree, I prefer this method also.

      This way is great for people who do not like or choose not to do the magic circle. I always sew in my end so mine never comes undone.

  • @Jannycat777
    @Jannycat777 8 месяцев назад +20

    This is how I've always done it. The magic circle makes me crazy (it doesn't take much)!!!

  • @renisha3134
    @renisha3134 8 месяцев назад +21

    If you say it then it is “gold “ to me, you’ve never steered me wrong when it comes to crochet Crystal! Thank you so much for sharing this. This method is easier than the magic circle. Happy holidays and mental reset. See you in 2024 🎉.

    @deslauriersmama 8 месяцев назад +13

    I double wrap for my magic circle. When I finish, I pull the tail just a little bit so I can see which side of the extra wrap moves then pull that one tight and then pull the tail. Super tight and NEVER comes loose.

    HI Crystal,
    This is how I learned to crochet in the round and it's still my favorite. Thank you for the tutorial. Hugs

  • @marigoldlancs8937
    @marigoldlancs8937 8 месяцев назад +3

    I'm laughing because I did this after more magic circle failures, quite by accident. I'm glad you it put out there.❤

  • @louloustreasuretrove2122
    @louloustreasuretrove2122 8 месяцев назад +11

    I love this method as well, I have done both and this method is very reliable and easy to do without having to worry about it coming undone as easily later on. Thanks for sharing simple tidbits of information, very useful. Love it.

  • @katrinagreely5399
    @katrinagreely5399 8 месяцев назад +8

    I personally love the double magic circle.
    I’m one of those can never get the hole to close with the chain method. Helpful to see this trick.

  • @LoopsofLove2
    @LoopsofLove2 8 месяцев назад +2

    I agree with you. This is much easier to do and it closes totally. I also weave the tail around the first row of loops. It closes it even tighter.

  • @rebmedina2835
    @rebmedina2835 8 месяцев назад +4

    I've always done this way. It's what I was taught when I was a kid

    When I first started and was Channel Hopping, Magic Circle was all the rage! I just had the worst time with it and after many attempts few successes I wasn’t a fan! The I watched BOD doing a granny square and I knew the Magic Ring was “disappearing” from my gotta knows. And to have this to add to my Playlist! Thanks again Crystal…you’ve done it again! ❤👏👏👏

  • @cege9633
    @cege9633 7 месяцев назад +1

    Just watched this and I have to say thank you for another wonderful option. Although I use the magic circle it is not my favorite way to crochet in the round, I also prefer chain method, and now I will be able to also close the hole without having to sew it close. I really appreciate all your videos and tips that make it easy for a lazy crocheter like me to continue crocheting.

  • @tricialinden
    @tricialinden 7 месяцев назад

    This is the way I've always started my circles and I can agree, it works great. I like the chains start over the Magic Circle because it gives it more for the stitches to grab onto.

  • @rene7865
    @rene7865 8 месяцев назад

  • @krys1581
    @krys1581 7 месяцев назад

    This is such a simple trick that I could have been using for ages and just didn't realize it. I make a lot of granny square blankets for kids and I'm always worried, even with my excess weaving of the tail, that the magic ring will come undone. 😊

  • @tracywenzel6163

  • @Mandaslefthandedcrochet
    @Mandaslefthandedcrochet 7 месяцев назад

    Woohoo! I knew I was doing something wrong. I wasn't crocheting over the tail so I could tighten it up afterward. I don't like the magic circle very much. It does come undone sometimes. :)
