Gin, Thank you for your comment and your compliment for my teaching style. I’m glad you found my post helpful. I wish I could help, but what you are asking for depends entirely on your browser. I would suggest trying to print the magic ring tutorial page from your internet browser menu. It will probably not look very pretty, but it should include all the photos I have in the post. I hope this helps. Thank you again, have a great day! ~Caitlin

I have made it many times before and, by the way, you do a beautiful job teaching how to do it. Please let me print your instructions so that I can use them to teach my great nieces how to crochet, especially the difficult magic ring. My problem is that I am old-fashioned soon to be 82 in May and I am forgetful. Help, please Gin

Sue, I’m glad to hear you are getting the hang of it!! It does take some practice. As for whether to chain 1 at the end or go straight into the next row, it depends on the pattern. If the pattern calls for un-joined rounds, you will just start the next row without the chain 1. If you are working in joined rounds, you will want to chain 1. A good indicator would be to look at the rest of the pattern. If the pattern tells you to chain 1 (or more) at the end of all the rounds, you will want to chain 1 at the end of the first round. If it doesn’t call to chain 1 after the end of subsequent rounds, you would not. I hope that makes sense. The good news is, in the long run it shouldn’t effect your pattern too much either way. I hope that helps 🙂 Thank you for your comment and question!! ~Caitlin

Melinda, Thank you for your comment. If I am understanding your question I would not recommend starting with 24 in your magic ring. It will not able able to tighten fully and you’ll be left with a little hole you cannot fill. I would start with the amount written and then increase until you get to the desired round width. You might have to fidget a bit with any appendages or shaping the pattern calls for, but that is how I would recommend making it bigger. You can try using a larger stitch or doubling up your yarn and using a bigger hook, but they will not be enough to make the item 4 times the size. I’d be happy to try and assist if you get stuck, please email me if you have any questions. It is easier than leaving a lengthly conversation here that is only mildly related to this post. Thank you!! ~Caitlin P.S. my email is CaitlinsContagiousCreations@gmail.com

thank you for this, I am attempting my first amigurumi and I only have a pattern for a small doll…
I would like to enlarge it by 4…Would that mean that I would increase my magic ring to 24 stitches to begin with…or I would double in each round until I get to the desired round width?
The rounds total at 30 stitches as the pattern sits now…
Not sure if I am conveying my question…I was thinking I would multiply…
but another suggestion was to increase the single stitch to a double…or to increase the thickness of the yarn…
not sure if you have any suggestions…
Thank you!

A few years back I never used the magic ring, but I’ve been trying to get better at it.
I’m glad you could join The Really Crafty Link Party this week. Pinned.
