Crochet
Magic Ring
A magic ring is one of the most common ways to start a crochet project. It is mostly used in projects that are either circle or square shaped. To start make a loose loop at the end of the yarn by crossing the tail over. Then insert the hook into the loop and pull the yarn through to create the magic ring. Follow the above steps but make sure that the tail is left hanging or the ring will be too tight and will not be able to be adjusted. It will likely take several times to get the hang of it but don't give up. If you have trouble try looking up a video tutorial.
Crochet Chain
A crochet chain is the second way to start a crochet project. It is also the easiest way to start. I recommend learning how to chain before you start any crochet project. It is started by making a small loose loop with the yarn, use the crochet hook to pull through the loop and make a second loop. Make sure that the loops are similar size to the other loops on the chain. This will also take a few tries to perfect. A chain can also be used instead of the magic ring depending on the project.
