Magic Circle Demystified

What makes my magic circle super simple?
It does NOT involve wrapping yarn around your hand nor twisting your hand this way and that.

In the process of demonstrating crochet on my blog MainelyDiY.com, I realized the magic circle was difficult to explain and show. I looked to see how others were making the circle and they seemed complicated.
I thought there must be a better way!
With a little ingenuity, I developed a technique that is so easy to make, learn, and remember.

Come discover why MainelyDiY.com’s method is truly Magical!
