![How to knit magic loop - tutorial for beginners [+ tips and tricks for neater results]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rf1OU7sTDQk/mqdefault.jpg)
This is the best video on casting on, getting started and knitting using magic loop. Like the previous person's comment, I can't tell you how many other magic loop videos I have watched but never got to have success with using this method. Today I ACHIEVED SUCCESS and am thrilled. Something that made the difference for me was the 'rules' you gave for different things, e.g. 1. always have your working yarn over the back/never hanging in the middle, 2. you explained which point of the needle to pull out to start knitting the next part of the row - importantly, you kept saying things like, "I can't emphasise enough that you need to do X". The way you clearly demonstrated, and clearly explained and then reiterated important points totally gelled with me. I am thrilled that I can now knit in magic loop. This video is the best magic loop one ever. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.
I like how you used inexpensive needles to show the difficulties you will run into. This was so encouraging. Thanks you.
Oh my goodness can I hit the like button 1000 times?
I have watched so many videos and always end up thinking wth.
Seriously you have no idea how much this helped me. Every little shred of this video! Ah thank you thank you. I’ll be showing this to my mother as well!!
Love this video. Thank you.
So informative. Keep going girl, your very talented.
Extremely helpful !! Don't listen to the first rude comment made by Kelly Tyler. I'm also wondering who pissed in her cornflakes
Thank you so much for this video. I’m taking a virtual mitten class and the instructor’s first video is the magic loop, but she doesn’t demonstrate how to cast on! I now know how to do the magic loop technique thanks to you! Happy knitting!
Thanks so much! I was almost in tears with the other videos. We are in lock down in South Africa and this has turned a miserable day into a great one! I hope the other teachers watch this too. I kept on undoing my "mess" until you helped. You are the magic in the magic loop!
I'm glad you emphasize bringing your working yarn on top and to the back
Ohh, my dear, you are blessed with the Teacher Gene! The repetition really helps, and I deeply appreciate your insistence that some aspects are just plain fidgety and my troubles don't mean I'm doing something wrong. Over-and-out!!
Omg 😲 FINALLY! I’ve found a video that shows from beginning how to do this! Almost EVERY video shows WIP without showing how it all begins.
Made me lost interest completely.
I’ve not knitted in decades and decided to start again. I can knit in the round but wanted to complete hats w/o dpns
Thank You so much and Thank You for keeping it “real”. The long cable would REALLY piss me off and I’d just put it away or pull it back.
I’ll use this video in slo-mo so I don’t miss a thing❣️
Again, I Thank You Kindly♥️🌹❣️
I had almost given up at last one I can understand Will have to try this will let you know when I master it 🍀
Thank you so very much for this tutorial! I watched three others before finding this one and was starting to think I was an idiot for not being able to follow along. But you made it so easy to learn ☺️ Much appreciated.
TOTALLY AMAZING and HELPFUL tutorial!!!! THANK you for showing the "ugly side" of the process!!! I've watched a LOT of tutorials to learn how to use these needles and just to KNIT in general but THIS is the most helpful and EASIEST to follow and most pleasant also. Some of the people that do tutorials do NOT have any personality and some have way too much, YOU were easy to listen to and follow. THANK YOU!!!
"Always the needle with the working yarn" BEST advice I've seen on doing magic loop. "front, back, left, right, up down" can all change if you are holding the needles incorrectly but the yarn on the working needle is a constant "landmark" you can count on 👍😍
Honestly, I have tried Magic Loop before, but gave up when my knitting looked exactly like yours does at the start!! Now I know it's SUPPOSED to look that way! Thank you SO much for taking this technique right from the start, when it looks messy and disorganized. I really needed this!
Like Karen said. Thank you so very much for repeating, demonstrating and encouraging us over and over. That's what we raw beginners need.
Finally, someone who actually shows you everything. Thank you so much!! I really can’t Thank You enough. Hugs, Heather
Working yarn in the back! Thank you!!
This tutorial was hugely helpful and encouraging. Thank you so much for your „real life“ take. You made it much less intimidating!
You’re absolutely correct, other vids don’t teach how you just did. I appreciate the details. Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial!
Thanks for repeating the instructions several times so that I don't have to keep backing up the video. Very helpful!!! You did a great job of explaining.
Hello lovely. I can honestly tell you that I have done heaps of research on magic loop, and watched tutorials only to struggle to understand. I’m in my fifties and a reasonably experienced knitter. I found your tutorial to be excellent in every way. You reassured us that there will be struggles and you encouraged us to keep going, and guess what? You just taught me and so many others a new technique I waited all my life to learn.
Scroll past any negativity on here and rest assured I myself and many others will be following you and supporting you because you’re very good at what you do. A huge hug and thank you from me, from down under, Australia 🇦🇺.
Well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is by far the best tutorial for magic loop. Dear me yes I love that you emphasised about keeping the working in the back, when I first started a couple of months ago I kept putting the working yarn in the front and it drove me mad trying to work out what I was doing wrong as the pattern just didnt work out right.
Oh my gosh!! Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!! I FINALLY understand how to do it!! I LOVE the way you teach(!!!) and are upfront and real about the difficulties and how to overcome them!! I also love that you call yourself the nervous knitter! 😅 ( Because I am too, even though I've been knitting on and off for years!!) You're definitely a Godsend!! Thanks you again, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I've discovered another reason to be grateful...YOU!! ❤💕❤
Your gooooood gurrrrl.
This is so helpful! Nobody shows the struggles. And the fact that you specifically show where you put the working yarn solved my problem of creating a mobius loop instead of a cillinder.
Definitely the best magic loop tutorial I've come across! Because of you, I'm on a roll!
Praise to ⭐️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️nervous knitter:
Sorry but I just had to read off Kelly Tyler, but I was about to praise you for exactly what she had criticized you for!
I love the fact you are multitalented and have lovely working hands to prove it. After about a full minute of watching you knit, I realized that I was able to watch you better, more clearly than other demonstrators on YT. Your fingernails are naturally normal. I really appreciate that: thank you!
⭐️⭐️I was not at all distracted by flashy glued on shards of plastic in my face! Omg, what a difference! Between the lack of phony flash and your patient repeat of important steps of each round, I do believe I am capable of using this technique! OMG! I can do this, this greatly helps!❤
I have been mystified by Magic loop my whole time of learning to knit. At least 5-6 years and after see this video and by follow it step by step, I know it’s possible for me too.
Thank you for sharing your talent! I look forward to investigating more of your channel and hope you have or plan to add more technical advice for those of us still learning. I haven’t tried Fair Isle or brioche or much lace yet. I hope you cover them like you did this ML tutorial.
I am just thrilled, I can’t thank you enough for this lesson!💐🌺🌝🧶🥢🍾🥂😆♥️⭐️🎉👱🏼♀️🎊🎁
This is fabulous. Thank you for taking your time to do this! Appreciate your honesty and helping newbies to understand it’s not always perfect.
finally a magic loop tutorial that actually shows you how to do magic loop!!! you are amazing thank you.
You my dear are my ANGEL in disguise!!!! Thank you!! I can do it now!!!! I will be able to knit socks, I tried and tried a thousand times on DPN's, lost half of every set of needles I bought or broke them haha tried 2 circulars, ladders, this is IT!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
This video is definitely a LIFESAVER!!! I've been searching for several tutorials on how to start knitting in the round. I've seen several in my own language which is Dutch. But not one of them make any sense to me. Then I started looking for english tutorials and at last I found yours. This is the "most" ;-) well explained video on how to cast on stitches and start knitting. The tips about the working yarn and always pull the needle with the working yarn are the best tips ever!!! I've been knitting since I was a little child and now I'm 53 and I finally decided to learn magic loop knitting. Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I gave it a thumbs up, and I saved it in my favorite list.
Thank you! ❤
Wow. Thanks so much. I have been afraid to do this because every time I tried, it looked awful. But now I know it really didn’t look that bad. And I was having all those problems with the cord and the gaps, etc. you are completely awesome for doing this video. I am going to be doing this method quite often, I believe.
Thank you!!! I’ve tried to start a magic loop project a couple times, but it looked awful and wrong, so I pulled it all off... apparently I MIGHT have been ok if I’d kept going! This is the best tutorial for it I’ve found, and it’s given me the confidence to actually try again!
I've NEVER been able to do it...ever until I found this tutorial. I make fingerless gloves and now i'll be able to finish them faster (once I master working two at once - lol) this has definitely changed how I look at knitting in the round
Finally I think I understand the magic loop. I have watched numerous videos and never could keep track of which needle to pull. Simply empathizing pulling the needle with the working yarn was a lightbulb moment.
Awesome, easy to understand, clear movements with your hands, video centered, you nailed it.
I have gotten dizzy watching people reset continuously their yarn and move the needles out of viewing range, and talk so much that I couldn’t keep track of what to knit next.
Thank you
Thanks so much for starting from scratch!! As a beginner knitter with magic loop .... this was SO helpful! You kept repeating the do's and don'ts which was so helpful to get it to stick in your head. Best intro to magic loop video that I have seen!
Ditto to what everyone else has said. This video FINALLY has me knitting magic loop!!! Thank you a million times over. I could never remember when I would put my knitting down where to pick back up. the working yarn is always on the top. Thank you for explaining this.
At last, with your cheerful and clear demonstration made me a master of the magic loop.😊Thank you for your very clear explanation and encouraging demo.
Many thanks for your help, Charlotte. I love your "back to basics" way of demonstrating techniques. It's really helpful.
Thanks for sharing your video. I have been knitting for just under sixty years and always stayed clear of anything that required double pointed needles. I didn't know this method existed until I went searching for a way to convert a pattern for my grandson. You made it easy for me to follow and now I can knit his hat for him.. !
I'm a long time knitter and the magic loop has been my nemesis. Thanks for the video showing how to start it. You make it look very easy!
Amazing tutorial! I love the repetition and your positive comments. I like that you started from the beginning and helped us through the first few rows. I will definitely try this out. Always looking to learn something new.
Best video I have seen on how to start the magic loop method.
+Karen Semones thank you! ❤
A great tutorial.Thanks
I agree!!!
Karen Semones very informative. I finally learned how to do magic loop!
I agree!
Thank you for the tutorial and the pep talk! I have crocheted for years and now want to learn to knit. My magic loop hat looked like a mess but I listened to you and kept going and it is turning out great.
THANK YOU! Finally someone makes a video for those of us that are struggling. Much appreciated. You're the best!
I'm a crocheter, new to knitting, and I'm attempting to make the copycat C.C. beanie; the circular needles I got, though, are too long, so this will hopefully help me a bunch until I can afford a shorter set! You were right, other videos I've watched never really outline the struggles people face when doing something like this, so, thank you so much for being so detailed! It really helps.
I just want to thank you for this tutorial. I have felt like I was trying to pull an elephant through the eye of a needle whenever I try to use this method ...but your honesty about 'real life problems that REALLY HAPPEN' helped me to see that in fact, my struggles were just normal! I DID learn what I was doing wrong (using the wrong needle to begin my row with) and that has helped immensely! I am so glad you followed your heart and took the time to demonstrate this method! I SO APPRECIATE you!!!
I’ve been watching magic loop videos over and over but I didn’t quite get it until your video. You’ve made it so easy to understand.
I’m here for a tutorial.......and you definitely did not disappoint. Others were sooooooooo confusing. Yours was soooooooo easy to follow.
I have to say the commenter here that was really rude.........so hurtful...........unwarranted and hateful.
I’m here to learn from a you tuber that actually took the time to make the video and upload it🥰 not a nail fashion show😳
Thank you so much for sharing.
Definitely a new subscriber🥰
I’ve been knitting for years and I’ve never be brave enough to try to knit using the magic loop system until today. After watching your very clear instructions I now know how to knit using this method . I can’t thank you enough for your very clear instructions . Happy knitting everybody.
this was such a good help! i had been running into troubles trying to knit a hat using circular needles for the first time, instead of on straight ones.
I'm finally able to finish up my project! thanks a bunch.
Thank you so much! I have tried magic loop so many times, and watched several video tutorials, with no success, just got in a mess. Your tutorial has made all the difference! I can do it! Thank you again!
I am so glad I found you!! I have tried to do the magic loop so many times and given up! I watched two video's before I found this one, but could not figure out what to do with the working yarn to start. I was just reaching for my double points when I decided to try one more. I'm so thankful I found this one! Now I want to use magic loop for every project!!
New knitter, just finding your video and you couldn’t be more right about finding videos that gave instruction, but not how to start. Thank you, this was extremely helpful.
Love that you started at the beginning!
I appreciate the start from the beginning format, thank you
Thank you .Been struggling. No one has explained this as well as you have !
The best knitting tutorial I have ever come across. Thank you.
Brilliant video! I've been struggling with this and tried other tutorials but couldn't get my head around it let alone my needles and stitches. I now have a lovely circle of knitting. SO pleased. Thank you!
OMG thank you so much! I have never been able to get the hang of magic loop so I've been a DPNr for years, it was tedious and moderately frustrating. now that I know how to magic loop it's drastically going to change my knitting. thank you so very much!
I tried this once last year and I kept thinking I was doing it wrong. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction with this. I am going to try it again. Now, I am going to watch it again while I move forward in this endeavor. Many thanks 😊
Well you just saved my life. This is exactly what this new knitter needed. We need to see the struggling because that’s how we learn. Thank you so much for making this video.
HOLY CRAP! i have been avoiding magic loop for so long, and then when i finally wanted to try all the tutorials were in the middle of a project! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I REALLY appreciate you showing us from the very beginning! This is exactly the instruction I needed! Thank you so much!
You are a natural teacher! After many tries with other videos, I have finally found success! Thank you so much, don’t stop your videos, I’ll be waiting for more!
Finally someone who explains this VERY WELL! Thank you so much!!
I know this video is 4 years up here but I’ve just come across it after watching 6 others and couldn’t get my head around it till this video!! Thank you for this so easy to understand, hopefully have a happy toddler in a few days when I get this darn hat done 😅
You are an awesome teacher. I felt near tears trying to learn this from other videos. I want to hit like 100 times!
I just finished a project that used double pointed needles for some fingerless gloves for my granddaughter and I vowed I would never do another one. So annoying and frustrating.
What a joy to see this tutorial on the magic loop, which was recommended by a friend when I told her about my struggle.
I own an entire set of magic loop needles for which the metal tips in different sizes simply screw onto the cords. I have used them for large baby blankets in the past but never tried knitting in the round. Thought it was impossible. I have had them over 30 years now. I have every size I could ever dream of having. So now I'm ready to attempt another project in the round using the magic loop knitting method. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
When you explained how to keep your working yarn to the back and not “hanging” it solved a huge problem I was having. Thank you for such a thorough tutorial!
This video finally made Magic Loop make sense. I need to see how the "sausage is made" and this video did that for me. The tips were spot on. Thank you!!
Thankyou for not giving your life story for the first 10minutes, tossing your hair around and giving stupid "im so gorgeous" selfies of yourself with perfect nails and hands...you are genuine and your very well instructive video on this tricky subject is brilliant...it doesnt go so perfect like other videos...your yarn does get stuck and your wire does get tangled...thankyou for addressing this...I am trying to make socks for the first time and I think I have unravelled it all 5times so far...I will now watch your video as I knit and pause it and play it...thankyou again xx
Best video yet on the magic loop. You are clear . Can’t thank you enough.
This is an excellent knitting tutorial! I consider myself fully qualified to say so as I have been knitting for over 50 years.
Thank you Charlotte~!! Don't even apologize for being "slow" .....to me,as a beginner,,you knit FAST~!! Besides,,it's easier to learn watching someone do it slowly.
Being totally clueless about cables,,magic loop,,and knitting in general,,my first attempt at knitting on circulars I bought needles with a cable way too long for a hat,,lol,,I didn't know ! So I decided to wing it and made up my own version of what I NOW know is magic loop :))) but it was more difficult and stretched out my stitches. This is SO much easier,,thank you,,your videos have basically taught me how to knit~!! It's been about 5 months and I have 4 different projects going,,knitted hats,blankets,scarves and yoga socks for my whole family for Christmas•!! I'm addicted😂🥢🤣🥢
so many videos and this is the only one i’ve been able to actually understand !! i’ve finally made a magic loop with no issues 😭 im forever grateful
Thank You! Thank You! and Thank You!! I've tried to do this so many times and just ended up with tangled yarn and twisted needles! Right from the beginning you told it like it is and I did my first magic loop knitting and NO Tangles!! Great video, Great Teacher! :)))))
I was giving this a try for the first time today, and that helped tremendously. The book I had was confusing and missed a lot of points that you mentioned. Thank you.
I am so impressed, I finally understand, after watching your video, how to do the magic loop - Thanks so much!
THANK YOU for starting at the beginning and being so thorough with your demonstration and explanation!!! I was successful the first time!🥳
The BEST video I've watched on Magic Loop! Loved how you voiced everything I was thinking; "this isn't going to work", "this looks weird", "this cord gets in the way" and you talked me through it! Thanks for this!!
You're welcome!
I've ripped my thing like 7 times till now. It's sooooo starting to make sense! FINALLY! THANK YOU!
I'm a little bit late to this video, but I just wanted to say thank you SO much. I've spent most of the day fiddling around with magic loop and kept getting lost with it, but your video has helped so much. Thank you, you're an angel! Stay safe out there and look after yourself, thank you again xxx
This is the best magic loop video I've come across. Thanks!
I've never tried magic loop before, watched your video once, then picked up my needles and yarn and watched it again, following along with what you were doing. And I was able to do all the steps and now I can do magic loop! Thanks for the tutorial, especially with the twisty cable circular needles, because that's exactly how mine looked while I was doing the steps so I knew what to expect.
I have watched so many videos on this and nobody explains it so clearly from the beginning. This is a must watch for new knitters in the round 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this video. Finally I understand how to knit with a magic loop !!
After knitting for 60 years I finally learned how to knit magic loop❤
Thank you for showing the problems you can run into and for the encouragement along the way!
Thank you so much for this! I was struggling with getting started with magic loop and I was not sure I was doing it right! Thank you for validating the struggles too! I was having trouble getting the stitches back on the needle and thought I was doing it wrong.
Thank you a million times over. I can finally do this without going mad! Simple tricks that I wish everyone knew. You did it!
I have watched at least 10 videos explaining the magic loop. Yours was the most comprehensive. You anticipated and answered all my questions and concerns. Thank you so much!
Thanki you for finally explaining the magic loop in a way I could understand. I'm trying to teach myself the magic loop after knitting on double points for YEARS!! I've watched several other videos on UA-cam and just ended up quitting before the first round was finished because I could not keep up with where the needles were suppose to be. But then I stumbled upon your video and it dawned on me, don't worry about the needles, pay attention to the WORKING yarn. GENIUS! You dummy proofed it for me and now I catch myself yelling out, ''drop it".....
Thank-you. With this tutorial, I feel confident on trying this technique on my first pair of socks.
Best help ever. Understands frustrations of starting in the round knitting. Encouraged me to pick up my needles and yarn when I’d thrown them across the room having failed a number of times in succession. Not all the irritating preamble either, this young lady understands that we neither want nor need half an hour’s video for five minutes of actual instruction! Thank you.
Best magic loop video, clear, concise, and real!! And very encouraging!! Thank you, thank you!!!👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for creating this video!! I've been trying to teach myself for the past two days and spend a lot of times starting only to rip everything out. Your method was the light bulb that went on over my head and after just 4 rows, I am actually having fun with this method of knitting socks. You were right about the ladders; the more rounds you knit, the less "ladder rungs" you see. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you so so much for this. I'm picking up knitting again after years away and this saved me from huge frustration. I'll come back to this every time I need to refresh magic loop.
This video was so helpful. You showed ALL the picky bits that always goof me up in the beginning. I don't know how many stops and starts I have done. Now I know exactly where to place my yarn. Thank you.
You are absolutely right - most videos already show work in progress, so they don't show you how to do the first join. Thank you VERY much for a clear, concise demonstration - I am LOVING this method!!!
Absolutely the best video on how to start magic loop! OMgoodness! Thank you!
This is the first video that shows all the steps for knitting magic loop. The others make assumptions that you can follow their instructions without demonstrating all the details. What a great teacher. I’m looking forward to learning more skills from these videos.
I just bought my first set of circulars. You are very helpful. Thank you so much. So clear and concise.
I have watched over 50+ videos and could not grasp what was going on until I watched this video. Can I just say thank you! I would have totally given up if I hadn't seen your video.
