Have you tried going up a hook size to see if that helps? You can also try blocking your circle by pinning it out into shape as this should help it lay flat 😊
You might find it useful to start with my beginners series here: ruclips.net/video/GcOzdAzmtNM/видео.html 😊 This takes you through the basic building blocks of crochet, after which you'll be ready to try more complicated patterns.
Hi, if you are interested in crochet, visit my new channel. I believe you will find something you want there : Truc Nguyen Handmade ruclips.net/channel/UCLibW0hcYPvvUnCnVqAEE1Q
You taught me how to crochet and now I have just started my own channel and hope to do my own tutorials. Thank you for your inspiration and videos. I look forward to seeing more x
This is the second tutorial of yours ive watched! I watched the granny square first not even knowing how to crochet. I have now done 3 massive granny squares and im 5 rounds into a circle! You're a great teacher!
This was going to fast for me, and I had a hard time seeing which hole you went though. It's probably because I'm too much of a beginner, and hopefully I can revisit this video later when I have learned to crochet more. Would have loved to see more repetitions and not the "pause the video and do the rest".
I started crocheting 2 days ago having never even touched a hook before that. Using your videos I have now got double and treble crochets down (having my work checked at a local wool shop just to make sure I'd done it right), and will be trying the flat circle at some point this weekend. You explain things in this video so I find them very easy to understand, even to the point that I can say what your next instruction was going to be, before you did! ☺️ So thank you and please keep posting videos (more beginner projects would be good, I want to make one of those folded down top baskets using a flat circle base, and square, but don't know what to do with the sides - hope you can help). X
Thank you for taking your time with the teaching. I’ve had brain surgery and I’m slow at picking things up but found this page easy. Your demonstrations are clear and easy to follow. I help veterans with mental health and ptsd and I look forward to sharing your posts. Thank you 🙏
I’m making these circles to sew on to my newborn grandsons baby blanket to make an embellished hungry caterpillar. Love watching your videos, they are so easy to follow x
Years ago I crocheted a tire cover for my granddaughter's Jeep. She says it was her all time favorite gift. (hint hint, she now has a new Jeep) I had forgotten how I made it as I just created it on the go. This simple step by step direction helped me to get back on track to make an even better tire cover! Thank you for helping this Oma get started!
Wonderful video! I grow very impatient with the videos where they spend five minutes showing me what yarn looks like then another five with a crochet hook. This was right to the point and very clear. Thank you so much.
Steps: Round One 1. Slip Knot 1.5. Chain 4, Insert into the first chain, yarn over pull through or 1. Magic Circle 2. 12 Treble/Double crochets Round Two 1. Two Treble/Double crochets into the top of each stitch from round one Round Three 1. Alternate from One to Two Treble/Double crochets into every other stitch Round Four 1. One Treble/Double crochet into two stitches 2. Two Treble/Double crochet into one stitch 3. Repeat to finish the round Round Five 1. One Treble/Double crochet into three stitches 2. Two Treble/Double crochet into one stitch 3. Repeat until complete
(For my own use) US terms: Magic circle Chain 3 11x Double (chain 3 acts as 12th) (Increase by number in original round) Chain 3 Increase in every space (2 doubles in 1) -> you'll end up with 24 Slip stitch in chain 3 Chain 3 (Increase by 12 each row) Increase every other space (1-2-1-2-1) end up with 36 stitches Slip stitch in chain 3 Chain 3 Increase in first space -> single double etc (2-1-1-2-1-1-2-1-1) Slip stitch in chain 3 (2-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-2-1-1-1)
AAAAAAAA thank you so much! i just finished making this one, my first ever coaster 😅 i'm so proud because it's my first time and it turned out okay!!! i literally just got my crochet kit like 6 hrs ago and tried this 😂 your tutorials are soooooo helpful for beginners like me! the pain in my hands are worth it haha
Thank you! This is the first time it was explained well enough to get through my thick head. Before now, I had a hard time with circles! Thank you! Thank you!
THANKS SO MUCH!!! You helped me so much and when i did not get it the first time i almost threw it out the window it was so frustrating but i ended up geting it the 2nd try so im so so happyyyy, it was confusing at first but i got the hang of it THANKS.
Thanks for the video. Can I continue this way with increases to make a full sized blanket? Or perhaps after the sixth row or so could I just continue with one stitch in each double crochet?
If you stop increasing as described your work will start going upwards like the sides of a round basket. If this is what you want to make, no problem. But if you want in to remain flat you need to continue the increases.
I have extreme issues with retaining information and I learn things at a very slow rate, possibly related to my autism? Not sure. I understand this is beginner friendly but I can't seem to grasp what is happening or retain any information on what you're doing or how to do it with my hands. Does that get better if I just rewatch it a few times or should I take a different approach to it? I'm usually a visual learner but now I'm faced with the issue where I'm not retaining what I'm seeing and I wouldn't understand verbally being told. I feel like I need someone to physically guide my hands at this point and sit with me for hours before I'll have a chance at getting past the first loop. It's quite disheartening
You have to remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will become. Have you tried the beginner tutorials which may help you - here is the link to the first one:- ruclips.net/video/GcOzdAzmtNM/видео.html :)
idk about anyone else but the description of how to do the third row made absolutely no sense. "single double single double" single and double what? stitch? i thought these were all supposed to be double stitches? So confusing
I’m sorry you found this difficult to follow - the flat circle is made up of regular treble crochet stitches (one stitch worked) and increase treble crochet stitches (two stitches worked into one). You can also look at the written instructions on my blog here which might help you: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-flat-circle/ 😊
@@bellacococrochet i’m going to ask a stupid question and I probably should go back to school but here goes. For the rounds that end with 36 and so forth, should that last double crochet that is done in the round be alone? Should I just be ending the round with one double crochet in the stitch? Sometimes I think I get thrown off by stitch placement at the end of the round.
If you are a beginner than obviously u won't understand anything but if are not a beginner than watch the video a few times and then do it I hope this helps❤
To make an increase you just have to make two stitches into the same space. If you have some stitch markers handy you can count out the stitches and mark out where the increases will be before you begin, to help you 😊 You can also take a look at the written instructions over on the blog here: bellacococrochet.com/crochet-flat-circle/
I'm [very] new to crochet and have been having trouble with the concept of making a crochet hat. Your circle tutorial is the first thing on the internet that I can understand. I was wondering if it was possible to use that pattern to make a hat... ...What would I do differently?
Thank you so much for subscribing 😊 I would try adjusting your hook size to see if that makes a difference, but you may just need to block your circle once it's finished by stretching and pinning it out into shape.
You have the BEST video I have seen so far on how to do this! It’s paced nicely, simple, easy to see, pauses for time to catch up and is brilliantly clear. Thank you so much for doing and posting this :) God bless!
Thank you so much - I've been going round in circles (lol) trying to find a video with a clear explanation of how to make a circle lie flat. At last I've found you! :)
I'm so frustrated!! I have tried this 5 TIMES and each time my circle has kept curling up and wont hold the shape of a circle. I've tried changing my yard AND my hook size. please help me
If you've tried switching yarn and hooks you may be best off blocking the circle after it's finished to help it lay flat. To do this you just need to stretch and pin it out into shape 😊
@@bellacococrochet I gave up for a while and I tried again. I tried 3 different yarns and many hooks....only to find out I was treble crocheting WRONG this whole time 😭😂 When you have the 4 loops on the hook, I've been pulling through 2 loops under the last two. Instead I only needed to be pulling through one. Already my circle looks better. No more weird points or curling!
She said to start with a slipknot then chain 4 after that you insert your hook into the very first chain you have then yarn over and pull through then youll have 2 loops then you yarn over again and pull through in short words 1- Slipknot 2-Chain 4 3-Insert hook into first chain 4-Then SC (single crochet) into that chain u just inserted your hook in
I am pretty tight with my tension, try a larger crochet hook and see if that helps. I usually have to use a half size or a full size larger than what is recommended for whatever yarn I am using.
I have very poor fine motor skills, so this is still quite difficult, but I'm trying to get the hang of it. Thank you for the tutorial! My work looks a bit funky, but that's operator error.
The trick is to move the stitches along to the side to create a bit more room; however if you’re struggling then you can make a bigger chain circle to start of five or even six which will give you room space 😊
Love this easy flat circle!!! You are a great teacher. I made a beautiful solid white bulky yarn rug for my daughter’s new baby’s nursery. Turned out awesome thanks to your wonderful video. Thank you so much and as always your patterns never fail to turn out beautiful.
THANK YOU BELLA!! YOUR A GREAT TEACHER. I DID IT! I HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE TIME TO CROCHET IN THE ROUND BUT YOU WENT SLOW ENOUGH FOR MY DUMMY HEAD TO GET😀
thank you for this video. i just learned to crochet, but ive been trying to get all the "theory" down before i delve into any projects. im not really a pattern type of person, every video ive seen about flat circles doesnt really explain how to increase in a general sense, its all project based.
omg finally someone that does it with a slip knot instead of a magic circle your tutorials always help me learn so much more about crocheting keep your great work up.
well what can I say but thank you you are the only one that actually show me how to do something I've been trying to learn how to crochet and don't get me wrong I know a little but I can actually say I know how to do a circle and I appreciate it very very much and I can't wait to learn more stuff with you I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart you take your time you explained yourself and you just did it for me thank you
Very easy to understand and follow! I've always had trouble make circles as they would end up closing in on themselves and I could never figure out why. Thank you for this!
Hey Bella, Your videos are really helpful, they are easy to understand and on the point. Will you please show us how to make a crochet cardigan or a tank top. Please please please and thank you!
Yes, if you have a look at my tutorial for the circle of hope granny square here: ruclips.net/video/IwiNrY6ivfQ/видео.html you can see how I change the colours 😊
Perfect as always! ...I used this make the center circle for the Steelers logo! I have made several in different sizes for hats, scarves and now blankets! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! Diana.
@@sarangcrochets9583 Once you get the diameter of the top of the head, you just continue around without increasing! Several tutorials on RUclips for different designs! 😊
Hi, I tried this. I want to make a bigger circle. my yarn is much smaller than yours.i have reached until 7 one double crochet and one 2 double crochet. its getting curled up and frilled like a frock. please suggest. I want to go further and make it more bigger.
Hey bella! Im 11 years old im trying to learn to crochet so that i have something to do in quarrantine and im doing well all because of you! I've watched so many tutorials on how to do magic circle and flat circle but i can never seem to do it, you're the only one who managed to explain it so well, thank you so much! Im currently trying to learn how to make a granny square and im watching your video to learn it, im just waiting for my new yarns to arrive but i feel like i can already understand what to do, THANK YOU SO MUCH BELLA!
I'm on my 3rd queen size blanket with this method. After about 3 rows I would use stich markers for the increases. When the gaps are 50+ between I kept losing count😅
You can change colour at the end of a round by pulling yarn of the new colour through the last slip stitch to close a round with it... then you start a new round with the new colour...(hope you understood my explanation)...!

Pov: You're crying rn
It means your growing keep going!
I'm just starting learn and I can get the circle down but it just curves up so I do end up with a circle but then it turns into a bowl lol
You might not be counting your stitches correctly. Or your tension is off. I hope that helps.
Have you tried going up a hook size to see if that helps? You can also try blocking your circle by pinning it out into shape as this should help it lay flat 😊
at least you cna do something lol
This is me too... So I made handles and turned it into a shopping bag 😂
Oh my gosh same haha
I am filled with rage that I can’t do this
I can help you
crochet has taught me that i cannot count
Unlike most of these comments I’ve been crocheting for years, except my memory’s bad and I always second guess if what I’m doing is right 😭😭😭
I can barely even get the chain let alone a full circle

I wanna know too 🥲

This video explains the number of stitches so well. no one tells about considering the initial chain in the magic ring to be considered as a stitch.
Am I the only one who is lost on how the hell I'm supposed to get 11 stitches in there...?
The trick is to move the stitches along to the side to create a bit more room; however if you’re struggling then you can make a bigger chain circle to start of five or even six which will give you room space 😊
when i tried to crochet using hour video but for some reason it curls up on the ends and looks like a bowl. what am i doing wrong? help please.
It's happening to me too
+Stephanie Gowin how tight are you tightening them?
me too
but I usually crochet very tightly
+Madeleine Cox You could try making the loops a little bigger so that they are not as tight.
Love this easy flat circle!!! You are a great teacher. I made a beautiful solid white bulky yarn rug for my daughter’s new baby’s nursery. Turned out awesome thanks to your wonderful video. Thank you so much and as always your patterns never fail to turn out beautiful.
THANK YOU BELLA!! YOUR A GREAT TEACHER. I DID IT! I HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE TIME TO CROCHET IN THE ROUND BUT YOU WENT SLOW ENOUGH FOR MY DUMMY HEAD TO GET😀

Bless you I’ve been crocheting for years this is the first time someone explained the method to crocheting circles ❤and the why
I'm so glad it was helpful :)
thank you for this video. i just learned to crochet, but ive been trying to get all the "theory" down before i delve into any projects. im not really a pattern type of person, every video ive seen about flat circles doesnt really explain how to increase in a general sense, its all project based.

perfectly simple video. many thanks. I'm using it to make a circular tire cover from my 1977 VW Bus. It is just want I needed. Thanks Bella
You're very welcome :)
Very easy to understand and follow! I've always had trouble make circles as they would end up closing in on themselves and I could never figure out why. Thank you for this!
Hey Bella,
Your videos are really helpful, they are easy to understand and on the point. Will you please show us how to make a crochet cardigan or a tank top. Please please please and thank you!
You have done a great job with this video. Perfect Pace, Perfect Explanation, and Perfect Visuals :) Thank you.

Yes, if you have a look at my tutorial for the circle of hope granny square here: ruclips.net/video/IwiNrY6ivfQ/видео.html you can see how I change the colours 😊

Perfect as always! ...I used this make the center circle for the Steelers logo! I have made several in different sizes for hats, scarves and now blankets! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! Diana.
How did you do the hats ?

I'm on my 3rd queen size blanket with this method. After about 3 rows I would use stich markers for the increases. When the gaps are 50+ between I kept losing count😅

You're very welcome :)
Fantastic! I can finally make a flat circle! Thank You!
How to take a needle according to size of thread
How do you change colour for this? add a new colour at the end of a round through the sc or ?
You can change colour at the end of a round by pulling yarn of the new colour through the last slip stitch to close a round with it... then you start a new round with the new colour...(hope you understood my explanation)...!
