I suggest learning and becoming completely familiar with both methods! Doing so will help you understand which one to use for the specific projects you want to complete. In conclusion– they both have their place. The slippers pattern calls for only 8 DC and most amigurumi patterns start with only 6 SC.

I use the magic adjustable loop when I’m making slippers or amigurumi or any other project that needs to be closed or starts with a smaller number of stitches in the first round. That’s a lot of stitches! They’re going to need room and so a chain 5, 6, or 8, is needed. The reason I choose to do so is because I usually start those projects with a first round of 12 or even 20 double crochet stitches. Specifically, when I’m crocheting a granny square blanket or any other crochet lace pattern. How you go about joining has changed many times over the years but this is what you need to do today To be eligible you must be:-Very interested in magic (and not just wishing to know how it is done). I use the chain circle when I’m making blankets or hats. The Magic Circle is after all the most prestigious magic club in the world which started way back in 1905. With the magic loop, you start crocheting over the tail no matter what and so you always cinch the hole shut and it stays shut You can crochet your first round over your tail yarn to cinch it closed shut. The regular chain circle generally leaves a small hole in the center. The differences are subtle, but they do effect the look of your final product. The project on the left was started with a regular chain circle (ch 5) and the one on the right was started with the magic loop. The questions I want to discuss are: What is the difference? Why/how do you choose which to begin your round project?Ībove is 8 DC worked in the round. The double crochet starts around 2:35, but the whole video is pretty informative. The video I link to is this one on youtube that shows the magic adjustable ring for single, half double, and double crochet.

I typically respond with some links to photo/video tutorials on how to make it. The question I receive the most in regards to my Mary Jane Slippers pattern is about the magic loop beginning.
