Magic circle crochet loop CROCHET INFO: MAGIC CIRCLE: When piece is worked in the round, start with this technique to avoid holes in the middle (instead of ch): Hold the yarn end and wind the yarn one time around the index finger to make a loop. Hold the loop with left thumb and middle finger, place the thread over left index finger. Insert hook through the loop, make a YO and pull thread through loop, work 1 ch, then work dc around the loop. When the desired no of dc have been reached, pull the yarn end to tighten the loop. Fasten the yarn end on the back side. Continue to work in the round in a circle. WORK IN THE ROUND IN A CIRCLE: After last dc on the round, continue to next round with 1 dc in next dc (= first dc on next round). NOTE: Insert a marker between last dc and first dc on the round, move the marker upwards. WORKING 2 DC TOG: * Insert hook in next st, get thread *, repeat from *-* one more time, make a YO and pull thread through all 3 sts on hook.
