Alternatives for Magic Ring

Have you ever had trouble working with chenille yarn cause you try to do a MR and the yarn gets stuck when you try to close it?

Well I do. I’ve had try lots of tips to do the Amigurumi start but none of them looked good enough until I tried this one.

What I do it’s to do the original loop of the MR with a smaller yarn that I know I can work comfortably. Then I put in them the stiches I need and close with a knot.

I’m gonna let you pictures in case I don’t explain miself good enough.

As you can see in the photos it does not matter the color of the yarn you use cause it do not show if you tie it closely.

Its the best way to do MR with this kind of yarn in my opinion

I’ve seen lots of ppl that use the 2chains technique and I think in this way it looks so much better, mainly 'cause the start looks flat and clean.
