Is everything in crochet magic? The magic circle (sometimes called the magic ring or the magic loop) certainly is! This special stitch creates an adjustable loop that you would use when starting a circular or round project, such as a doily, a hat, or a ball. It allows you to tightly close the hole that will exist when beginning your circle. This is especially useful when creating a stuffed animal, for example, with amigurumi. The magic circle is a stitch that you will use over and over again. It's worth spending some time practicing it,...

You'd think it would be obvious which is the best way to start a ball of yarn. You'd think it would be very clear which end to start with, right? There is an end that is always very clearly on the outside of a skein of yarn, and one would normally think that this end would be the one to start with - simply because it's obvious. When I started with crochet, this is the end I always started with, not knowing any different or any better. The problem was that as you use this end,...

I was years into crochet when I finally learned that you can improve your crochet with the magic knot. For a long time, when attaching two pieces of yarn together, I was tying a knot and weaving the two ends in. It always bothered me that this technique left a lump and required more work, but I didn't know a better way. Until I found the magic knot. The magic knot is a way to join two balls of yarn, whether you are starting a new skein, or just changing colors. It creates a much...

The half double crochet stitch is one of my favorite basic stitches. It has the simplicity of the single crochet stitch but works up quickly like the double crochet stitch. The final product sits perfectly between the stiffer single crochet stitch and the looser double crochet stitch.

The second most common stitch in crochet is the double crochet stitch. It comes second to the single crochet stitch, which learned about in our last post / video. This stitch results in a less rigid or shaped project, so it is wonderful for such things as a baby blanket or quilt. The larger gaps between the stitches make it into a softer, more flowy final result, depending on which yarn you may use. Because of these larger gaps, however, it crochets up very quickly, which can be very exciting and rewarding. Materials Needed Crochet Hook Set Yarn Used...
