I need help with my magic ring, because every time I make one it always curves really easy and it always turns out really small And another problem is that it’s very sloppy and you can’t really tell that it’s a magic ring but I’m following the instructions for one and I’ve tried different ways and I just can’t figure out how to do it. Any tips?
this is one that I tried to make, it’s really bad, and you can’t even tell it’s a magic ring
It looks fine, maybe ch 2 and work into the first ch
Thank you, but I have no idea what that means. I’m an absolute beginner.
Maybe try the ch 2 method? If you dont want to do that, there are some great tutorials on yt you can try!
Ok so chain 2, then in the first chain that you did put how ever many single crochets you need before increasing
Practice using a worsted weight yarn NOT chenille, blanket or any of those fluffy yarns. You need to be able to see your stitches and what they look like.
If you are using a sc in the magic ring, you should have approximately 6-8 sc in the mr. If using a larger stitch you will need to increase the number of stitches placed in the mr in order to keep it flat. For example: if you want to place hdc into the mr, try using 8-10 stitches. If you want to place dc into the mr use 12dc.
The first round you work in a magic ring will curve if you haven’t placed enough stitches into the mr.
It’s not bad at all! Stop being mean to yourself. I would try practicing with non-plush yarn to get a grip and also watch the Woobles magic ring vid! That is what helped me out.
i recommend the same thing!
also, when you master the magic ring and want to make a plushie with it, i’ve seen some people make the actual ring part with acrylic yarn (easy to see and doesn’t break) and make their stitches with the fluffy yarn. this allows the mr to close a bit better :)
Ooh, I’ve not seen that technique before. That’s very clever.
