Crochet for Beginners - How to Increase in a Magic Circle

- Here is our series of Crochet for Beginners videos.
In this episode I will show you how to increase in a magic circle.
You will normally be increasing to create a nice flat circle, its really easy and the video shows you how!
Here's the pattern for you to try out your own flat circle:
Round 1: Working into magic ring, 6 sc (UK dc). (6 sts).
So let me help you here...are you new to pattern reading? The sc is the US term for single crochet. I have put in brackets the UK dc or double crochet term - this is what I talk about in my videos. This is how we write our patterns @woolcouture - we include both terminologies.
Then the (6 sts) means that you will achieve 6 stitches on that round.
Round 2: [2 sc (UK dc) in next stitch] six times. (12 sts).
Let me tell you a little more - when you see brackets like this [ ] that is telling you what to do next, so in this case you will do 2 stitches into the next stitch. Then after the bracket the 'six times' means that you will repeat this six times. Is this making sense?
Round 3: [1 sc (UK dc), 2 sc (UK dc) in next stitch] six times. (18 sts).
And finally here, you will do the 1 stitch into the next stitch, then 2 stitches into the one after, then repeat this sequence six times.
Round 4: [2 sc (UK dc), 2 sc (UK dc) in next stitch] six times.(24 sts).
Round 5: [3 sc (UK dc), 2 sc (UK dc) in next stitch] six times. (30 sts).
Round 6: [4 sc (UK dc), 2 sc (UK dc) in next stitch] six time
From here I think you will be getting it and you just increase the stitches by 6 each and every round :)
I have made a collection of videos that will help get you started with crocheting in the round. In my head there are 2 types of crochet, the flat type where you make a blanket or scarf, then you have the other type that makes circles, they both use the same stitches, but I normally teach them as 2 separate classes in real life, hence we have a collection of videos here for helping you crochet in the round, if you watch them all and practice, Im confident you will be a able to crochet.

This is a great video for beginners, it helped me so much! Also the explanation of the pattern and the terminology! Thanks so much for this! ❤
You're so welcome! 🤍💕🤍
Best video explaining magic circle
Thank you so much 😀
My daughter is just leaning and Working on Mabel. Should her circle start getting rippled? We think there may be a problem but since it is round we thought maybe it’s ok. We would love to see a video demonstrating that problem if it is and how to avoid it.
Thank you this was amazing! The first one I’ve seen that explained it this clearly 💕
OMG! I’m new to crocheting and have been having such a hard time with understanding the magic ring but this video helped sooo much. I 100% recommend this video for new people!!!
Thank you sooo much for the feedback 🤍
This is the first video for increasing the magic circle that I was able to follow properly! Thank you!!!
Wonderful!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! The increasing was confusing to wrap my head around until you laid it out so clearly! I've never worked in the round before, so this is extremely helpful as I'm learning as I craft a gift for a new niece, haha.
You are so welcome! Happy Crocheting! X
She's saying double crochet but she making a single crochet 😅
It’s a UK dc and a US sc. Both the same stitch just different terminology for UK/US crochet. Top Tip: Always check your patterns to see whether they are written in UK or US.
The video is great, but I'm sorry, the "ss" sound at the end of words like "this" and "twice" is a bit distracting. Please don't elongate the pronunciation; it was quite distracting while I was watching the video on my laptop.
P.S.: No hate intended, just a suggestion! :)
Thanks for your feedback. X
I can't find the diagram you mentioned for the increase. I looked in transcript and end of video.
Here you go...its on the description below the video:

this was the best video, I actually could follow along. Thank You!!
Glad it was helpful!
How do we make plushies out of these? Sorry if you found this rude I just wanted to learn how to make a plushie cause ever since I started I was to scared to crochet plushies because I didn’t want to waste yarn 😢
I think it’s best to find a pattern that you like and when you do. You can use videos like mine to help with the different stitches and techniques. X
@@woolcouture1752 I suck at reading patterns so I free handed one and turned out so cute
definitely agree with the other comments, I’ve been trying to learn and the other tutorials don’t explain the alternating motion very well so my stitches just kept coming out in a straight line over and over no matter how many tutorials I watched, thank you for this :)
Will try watching again but your way to quick for me
Thank you for your feedback. Xx
simple and very easy to follow. I wrote out your pattern long hand and will be so happy to have it. thank you🌀🌈❣️mystery solved.
So pleased it was helpful 🎉
I really needed this it help so much 🥺🙏🏽thankyouuu
Well done. X
I keep trying to do this but my circle always ends up in a bowl shape and it always curves. what should I do?
@@woolcouture1752 yes! I figured it out, Im now making a cute bunny.
please answer because i also struggle with this
@@udo6263 I think the trick is to make sure to add stitches every single time
This is such a soothing tutorial! You've got a super gentle voice, and you know what you're doing. :) Thank you.
Oh thank you!
Thankyou that explained it so well
Happy crocheting! Xx
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I couldn't figure out why my stitch count was always off and now I can clearly see why.
You are so welcome! X
I can make the magic ring and know how to increase. However, after pulling it tight to make the magic ring it's do tight I struggle to see the stitches and to insert my hook. Any advice?
Send me a photo of your work to claire@woolcouturecompany.com and I will take a look. Also let me know what hook size and yarn your using. X
Can someone help? Or is it normal, i want to make a circule flatter so i can make my project bigger, but when i try increasjng it just shapes into a small circule
Sure I can help. If you keep increasing your circle should remain flat ish. X
thank you !!!!
My pleasure x
Thank you so much for making this video! All the other videos are to fast or to slow! This was just right for me.😊
Glad it was helpful!
Omg thank you!!! You explained it so simply I'm a beginner crocher and im trying to make a bee for my first project and I just could not figure out how they increased and you just explained it in a way I can finally understand!!
You are so welcome!
How long does it normally take someone to learn? I’ve been trying to learn a few weeks now and I’m still at the first steps and I’m struggling
Tell me a bit more…what size yarn and hook are you using? What’s feeling wrong? The stitches your making? The way you’re holding the hook? Xx
@@woolcouture1752 well I got a beginner kit with the yarn and hooks with most of the things needed I got extra yarn and made sure I had to correct hook. I’m definitely getting better but I will follow tutorials slowly and it still always turns out abit wrong, like one corner of my granny squares always seem to go inwards and I’m not sure what mistake I’m making, I’ve made 8 granny squares today and the last one turned out right and was good but all other 7 had one corner that was wrong and I don’t even know how im doing it 😂
Practice makes perfect is the motto here 🤍 keep going the penny will drop on what mistakes you are making. Xx
How do you do the two double crochets? It just looks like you’re doing one at a time. I’m confused.
On the increase sts you do 2 dc into the st. So for example if you start by putting 6 dc into the magic circle. On the next rnd you will put 2 dc into each of the 6 sts moving from 6 sts to 12 sts. X
Oh thank you! What yarn do you use?
I’m using our cheeky chunky yarn in the video, but any yarn will do. www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/our-yarns-shop-all
your voice is soo soothing to listen to thank you
Thank you 🙏
Fabulous explanation! Very clear thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
What yarn is this?
It’s our cheeky chunky www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/cheeky-chunky
Thank you so muchh! 😭🤍 At first I was confused why my 3rd round was always 24, not 18
Happy to help! Xx
