Learn: Magic Circle or Magic Ring


Magic circle (or magic ring) is the first technique I learned as an amigurumi beginner. It's used to start a piece, and is the preferable method to the chain method. As you can see from the picture above, there is no gaping hole in the middle when you begin with a magic ring, and amigurumi is all about crocheting tightly so no stuffing will show through.

Just substitute it with a magic ring that has, in this case, 6 sc in it.

Need to master this basic amigurumi technique? Follow Sugary Stitches' blue birdie instructions (this cute chart is downloadable from the original website):


Prefer to watch someone demo it? You'll find lots of magic ring videos online. Here are two different ways to do it:
