The Magic Loop Method of Starting a Round
The magic loop (also known as magic circle) is an alternative way of starting a round in crochet while avoiding a gap in the center circle. Rather than crocheting a length of a chain that is joined into a circle for the first stitches, start off with a simpe loop of yarn.
