Magic cicle my way

Magic circle my way – using the first stitch to count the number of stitches

 

1. Start by making your magic ring, and make your first stitch to hold the yarn in place as a ring.

 

2. Then, crochet the number of single crochets needed in the magic ring, minus one (since the first stitch counts as part of the total).

 

3. Once you have the required number of stitches (counting the first stitch as one), pull the shorter strand of yarn to close the circle.

 

4. Slip stitch into your first stitch (the first knot) to close your magic circle.

Now, your magic circle is complete!
