I need help using Bernat blanket yarn

1

Helppppp I use Bernat blanket yarn and when ever I make the magic ring and try to close it off it snaps. Or even while I’m crocheting the yarn snaps. Any one have tips and tricks?

You can try using a double magic ring:

I’ve seen people who use worsted weight yarn to make the MR then crochet into it with the fluffy yarn. It seems to work

Try closing your magic ring so much you can only get your hook through it but nothing more before making your stitches, then you barely need to pull on it after that first round

if your stitches are too tight maybe size up your hook. What hook do you use?

Try closing it slowly as you add stitches into the MC.

The method I use is making a slip knot wrapping the tail around my two fingers and then making SC into the circle and pull circle tight once I’m done. This is the only method that has worked for me with blanket yarn
