Magic Ring

The Magic Ring (or Adjustable Ring) is used when crocheting in rounds. The advantages of using the Magic Ring is that once tightened, it leaves no hole in the center of your work.

Check the video's below to see how you make a magic ring.

On the first video, you can see how you make a magic ring if you are right handed.

The second video was made for left-handed crocheters.
