How to crochet a magic ring (and make it stay closed)

The adjustable loop that starts every amigurumi, beanie and flat circle. Five steps, no hole in the middle.

The three-double-crochet cluster square, written slowly with a count for every round and a fix for crooked corners.

Heads, bodies and rattles all start with this shape. Fourteen rounds, one stitch, and a smooth round finish.

A stretchy rib that looks knitted, made from a single rectangle. Worked flat, seamed, gathered, done.

Whip stitch, slip stitch, single crochet seam or join-as-you-go. What each one looks like and when to use it.

Single crochet and chain 1, repeated. A woven-looking texture that's easy to remember and good to watch TV with.

A flat circle in double crochet with a tidy single crochet edge. A good first project, and a good way to use up cotton scraps.

Nearly every beginner pattern is built from three stitches. Learn each one, how tall it is, and which turning chain to use.

A flat base, one back-loop round to make the sides stand up, and two handles. Sturdy enough for yarn, plants or bathroom things.
