The crochet magic circle is a technique used to create small crochet circles or spheres. This video tutorial demonstrates the first crochet skill needed to crochet in the round, the magic ring. It is also known as the magic loop, and it allows for perfect and tight interiors in round projects.
To make a magic circle, place the loose end of yarn over your fingers, with your palm facing you. Wrap the yarn around two fingers twice, insert the hook under the tail and loop of the magic circle, and pull back through the loop.
The magic circle can be made by chaining 1, wrapping the yarn over the top and around two fingers twice, and inserting the hook under the loops. Pull back through the loops, starting the magic circle as usual. When making slip stitches, do not pull them extra tight; they should be about the same size as the two loops at the top of all other dc in the round.
When starting a row or round, get the hook and yarn up to the level of the first stitch you are making in that row. This easy method is perfect for beginners and is perfect for creating amigurumi.

I’ve done a magic circle several times making nests but I do so infrequently and always forget how to start it off. I tried three tutorials before this one and most went too quickly through the steps. Yours is very clear, you count out the stitches on the hook and how many to pull the yarn through, and do that slowly enough for someone to follow without having to keep stopping the article and rewinding to watch it again. Thank you for understanding just how slow we inexperienced crocheters are at hooking the yarn and making the stitches! 😊
Thank you for talking and explaining while you’re doing it! The article tutorial that I was following to make a snowflake the woman did not and only put text of the stitch and I was very lost just looking at her hands and the text because she wasn’t explaining what she was doing. And it was a beginners tutorial as well 🤦🏻♀️
