Have you ever come across a crochet pattern where it starts with a Magic Ring or Magic Circle? And then you think, what’s this magic?
This crochet method of beginning your work in the round truly is magical in that it’s a fresh, clean start that will be pulled tight to eliminate any holes. It’s especially perfect for crochet beanies and hats.
Let’s Get Started
– Try this with a worsted weight yarn and an H (5.0 mm) or I (5.5 mm) crochet hook.
