My head was somewhere else than crocheting for the last few weeks. Time flies by so fast. The reason I was not around so much was that we moved to our new apartment. The best thing is, that it has an additional room that we transformed into small office/working area. I am so so happy for that! 🙂 A few days ago I’ve created a cute amigurumi octopus. I was using DK weight yarn in orange and my 3.0 mm crochet hook for the …
This is a simple tutorial on how to make a magic ring or a magic circle, how to secure the loop and how to work a few simple stitches into the magic ring. This technique is super easy and great for beginners too.
