How to begin your crochet project with a magic loop.

Magic loops are a great way to start any project that is worked in a round. Round facial scrubbers, blankets, baskets and even rugs are all projects perfect for starting with a magic loop.

A magic loop gives you the opportunity of tightening the beginning stitch and creates a clean, polished foundation to start off with.

To get started you’ll need yarn and a crochet hook.

Place your working yarn in your hand as if you were to create a slip knot. Wrap the yarn around your pointer finger twice.

Pinch your pointer finger and thumb together, to secure the yarn. Now using your other hand, slide the two loops off your finger. Be sure to keep pinching the loops together tightly.

Pick up your crochet hook and insert it into the two loops you formed and draw up a loop.

You have just created a magic loop, chain one and begin your project.
