Chapter 10 (Part 7): The Magic Loop Method

The Magic Loop, sometimes “Magic Ring” method in crocheting is an alternate way to get started when crocheting In the Round. The method I usually use is the Ch 2 method, where you simply chain 2 and work your stitches into the 2nd chain from the hook.
While the ch 2 method might be better for beginners due to it’s simplicity, the Magic Loop method definitely has some pros. The main being that it keeps a very tight hole in the center and you don’t have to worry about an oversized opening in the beginning of your piece. It is a bit more complicated to achieve though.
