How to crochet the magic ring

In this video, you'll learn how to crochet a magic ring or magic loop. This is a great technique, as it lets you start a piece in the round with no hole in the middle, which is perfect for stuffing your toy with fiberfill. If you're new to crochet, it might take a few tries to get the magic ring right, so don't get frustrated. Just pay close attention to not just what your hook is doing, but also the magic loop itself - you need to keep it stable so that it doesn't twist, otherwise the magic part at the end (pulling on the yarn tail) won't work.
