This is THE BEST magic circle tutorial I’ve seen. I have struggled and failed trying to make these for a long time. Thank you so much. Extremely easy to follow
I made about a dozen of these in one afternoon the other day after watching your video. They are simple, fun little projects. I think they would be a nice addition to a gift basket with some nice spa like bath products.
I have come back to say a year after watching this, I have been using these face scrubbies all the time and they work great! Thank you so much for your great idea!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm just starting with crochet and I was having a lot of trouble with counting my stitches in the round and where to close my round. Finally I found someone who explains it well. You've saved me, and I'm grateful. 🌻✨
THANK YOU for this! I've tried the magic circle and crochet in the round so many times and never could 'get it' until I saw this video! I've watched so many tutorials and none made as much sense as yours!
I never comment on videos BUT you were so easy to follow, not sooo slow but not to fast. Your camera angle was perfect as I was able to see exactly what stitch ro ss !!! I'm going to try this now ! Thank you so much for a great video
I just finished it!!! I did only 3 rows and thought it is enough to use as a face scrubbie. It is also super cute. I added a loop to hang it. Can't wait to try it! Thank you for this tutorial!! It was easy to follow and the instructions were clear.
LOVE all of your easy video's.... My 8yr old granddaughter has been making crocheted item's,,,,I found your video's by chance.... I sent her a couple of item's so she can try.... Hopefully she will get them,,,i sent them via email.... LOVE YOUR WORK,,,AND YOU MAKE IT EASY LOOKING SO I HOPE SHE CAN SEE ALL THAT YOU HAVE.... LOVE,,,AND GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you so much for this very easy instruction 🥰 I haven’t been doing crochet since I was a teenager, but after following your video I can now make one in 12 minutes, which is very good for me. So again thank you 🙏🏻
I love these simple little scrubbies. I like how you can make them smaller for little faces or bigger and make into a wash cloth. I like a crochet across the back of them making a little handle, which is great for in the shower or for holding onto while trying to give wiggly little ones a bath. ;)
Thank you Ms. Melanie, I made my first face scrubby and It's a great way to use up your cotton yarn scrap. I will do some more of those face scrubbies. Happy Crocheting.
Thank you so much for great teaching! I actually made some! I haven't crocheted for years but your video helped bring it all back! I've never done a magic circle and didn't count my stitches very well. Now I can! Great!
This is best drawstring circle starter demo available. Not difficult, and I’m a lefty. So sad she’s no longer around, gone too young. But left a legacy.❤😊 thx Mel
I may have to try this technique because chaining 4 then going back to my first chain technique hasn't been working out for me. This is such a great video.
Saw this about a week ago and thought it looked easy. Went out and bought the kit and can't get past 2.30 minutes in. All the instructions are there except what I'm doing when pulling the thread tighter on the circle. Turns out it's so magic only the gifted can do it! I think I've remembered why I only cross stitch!
Dont give up!!! Ypu can do it. I'm the kind of person that used to always say "I can't do this or that" We all have the talent to do great things! I like trying new things in a quiet enviroment and when I'm relaxed. Try it,friend!🙋
I usually have a hard time understanding people when they try to explain how to do things. expecially crochet. For somereason I found kintting way easer to do and understand. Thank you for your videos. I find them very easy to understand as well as very professional. :)
Omg 😳 I'm gonna a 100% make those for my mom 🤭 her birthday is I'm a week and I havet made her a present yet 😅 omgggg now I have🙏🏼THANK YOU, YOU JUST SAVED ME✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.
Great tutorial, I wish you would do more crochet tutorials. I made my 1st chevron blanket following your tutorial with the black and white blanket. I did modify it by using worsted weight yarn, smaller hook, and chaining more. It came out beautiful, so Please consider doing more crochet tutorials! Thanks for sharing ❣
I find a stitch marker in the beginning to be helpful. Especially if new beginners get confused. But always end on 1... that is how I always know I did it right coming around. Just two tips to help others who are curious.
Looks easy Melanie, but, I'm just starting to crochet, so everything needs to be slow motion, but with practice I'll get there. Thanks 😊 fior the tutorial!! 💓👍👏👏
Looks cool! Thanks for a crochet thing & hopefully simple... Hopefully I can make one. I killed my wrist making something almost 2 years ago and it still bothers me when I do too much, lift heavy things, etc. keep up the awesome work!- Amanda
Many thanks Melanie for your clear and informative tutorial, we are trying to use less to do our wee bit to save the planet. I am making a bundle of these from left over cotton yarn both for myself and my DD. I think they would be great as extra's for gifts.
Coco Bella uses UK and not US terms, Bobwilson123 is great...Start with the basics, 1.learn to make a slip knot, 2, make a chain, 3, grit stich (single crochet), from there u can learn, half double, double, triple crochet, after u master that, u can go for front loop/back loop, front post and back post - i taught myself like that ;)
Catherine, It's Bella Coco, (not Coco Bella-lol) and she most certainly does use U.S terms as well. She will say, for instance, "We are now going to do a Treble crochet, now that is a UK term; in the U.S. this is known as a double crochet." If you give her a chance and watch like 3 of her videos, you will get to know her style...I'm a newbie and have no trouble with her accent or her terminology. She has an Absolute Beginner Series that teaches you how to crochet right from the very beginning. She teaches evert stitch you mentioned and much more, also has a blog, her own store and creates her own crochet designs. Also, Jayda in Stitches is very good. She's always smiling while she explains things...has a very upbeat personality whereas some Teachers doing tutorials just talk in monotone...no personality at all. Also, some of the teachers talk too fast, I know we can go back in the video and listen, but talking too fast is just down right annoying to me. Like Mikey from I think its red heart yarns or yarnsperations? (is that part of red heart?) anyway, he's good, but talks to fast for me and I can't understand him bc he has a bit of a lisp - (I know he can't help it) and that on top of talking too fast...I just cant watch him.
I found this very helpful. Very detailed re where to place the stich as to where not to. I alway find that the most dif. in a pattern and mostly get it wrong .... and then I have to undo etc. Thank you again.
Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials! If I am ever looking for one that's easy to follow I can always count on you! I've been making these scrubbies with aran weight 100% cotton yarn and 5 mm crochet hook but I am finding they have very visible holes when finished. Should I go down a hook size or what?
so if i wanted to make it bigger were you did your last row -the 2DHC in the same stitch and 2DHC in the next 2 stitches would i then do the same DHC in the same stitch and then 3 DHC in the next 3 stitches and so on? and ty i love watching you you are far by the best yet ty again
If you would end the scrub i.e. with an invisible join, no one would know where you ended. Do you use the invisible join in your personal projects? Just wondering!
Rectangular is simple enough to understand, chain however many chains that you want then do what ever stitch you want and continue until you have the size you want then fasted off
I love this, just asked my 24yo daughter who is home visiting from Way north Australia if she would like a couple and yes please was the answer and can you make some for my fellow teachers. HELLO she leaves to go back home in 2 days, guess i will be busy.
Okay so always ignore the chain you slip stitched into and start on the chain next to it? I've been watching amigurumi videos and they're slightly intimidating and confusing. If it says 9 sc then increase 18 sc then decrease 9 sc would I do every other sc from the 18 sc round?
Thank you for the tutorial I’ve been thinking what to make my mom but then I saw your video and then I thought I chould make my mom something to put underneath her tea cup Thank you so much ☺️ Even tho its a Face Scrubbie uhhhhhh its fine right?😅
It cannot get cuter than this! Thanks so much for the tutorials :) If I continue to make my circle bigger such as 1 half double crochet and 3 stitches, 1 half double crochet and 4 stitches, etc .. Do I still need to slip stitch and chain or can I just continue to crochet and increase all around using a stitch marker while maintaining the round circle pattern?
So glad Melanie's family will be leaving her videos and channel for us to continue to learn!
Still the best out there. Love you Melanie. Forever in our hearts 💕
This is THE BEST magic circle tutorial I’ve seen. I have struggled and failed trying to make these for a long time. Thank you so much. Extremely easy to follow
So easy. Thank you! As a newbie crocheter I avoid the magic circle but watching you do it really helped!
I don’t like the magic circle I try to avoid them at all cost 🤣
I made about a dozen of these in one afternoon the other day after watching your video. They are simple, fun little projects. I think they would be a nice addition to a gift basket with some nice spa like bath products.
Bravo, this is the easiest to follow crochet tutorial I've ever seen!

I have 4 teenage granddaughters that are going to love these scrubbies. Great Christmas gifts! Thanks!
THANK YOU for this! I've tried the magic circle and crochet in the round so many times and never could 'get it' until I saw this video! I've watched so many tutorials and none made as much sense as yours!

By far, you make the best and easy to follow crochet tutorials. Thank you! Keep them coming. Love these rounds

These things are great for exfoliating the skin very gently, or to remove makeup with cleanser.
Yes, I love them for that! My 5 year old stole a bunch and she uses them in the bath to play with haha!
Oh Dear! Now you can make more lol. I think that's lovely.
Thank you Ms. Melanie, I made my first face scrubby and It's a great way to use up your cotton yarn scrap. I will do some more of those face scrubbies. Happy Crocheting.

Aka: Magic Circle 😂
Wow! I actually did it!! Took a little bit to get the basics but you made this super easy! Thank You so much!!
RIP Melanie 😢😢. Looking for scrubbie patterns and came across this one. I sure miss you. 💕💕
I know this is an older video. I just came across it. You make crocheting so easy. Your directions are very clear. TFS
oh my goodness, I could watch your videos all day! Thank you for such bright, happy videos that make us beginners feel good! x
thank you melanie! I have watched so many videos on the magic circle and could never get it right until this one!
Same here! This video was really helpful~ also a great thing to do since I’m stuck at home. Thanks so much!
Never made one before... soooo helpful. Especially the magic circle.
I like the way you explain your techniques and how well you show it on your video. Very nice, thanks!

This is smashing, thank you - so lovely and clear! It's very helpful that you pointed out the stitches to ignore too!!
I absolutely love these!! I find them better than any exfoliating scrub I've ever used. Thank you Melanie!
I see Christmas stocking stuffer ideas:) I am going to give this a try.

Luv them. Magic circle makes a big difference. Thanks to u im not afraid of it anymore. Lol! Im a newbie...😊
Thank you...your great!
Tried loads of scrubbies but found this the easiest and most memorable pattern. Even used it as a base pattern for larger circles
Looks easy Melanie, but, I'm just starting to crochet, so everything needs to be slow motion, but with practice I'll get there. Thanks 😊 fior the tutorial!! 💓👍👏👏
On the 2nd round or so I started to get owl eye vibes. Now I want to crochet an owl and make little rounds like these for eyes! Whose with me??😂
May I please a question? If I wanted to go 1 more row would I do 2 dhc 3 shdc or stick with the 2 dhc 2sdhc?
This was my first project! I definitely messed up the counting the first time around but my second time was a success 😁 thank you!
Hi Melanie! Thank you for this tutorial. I was wondering if you could tell us how to crochet these with handles for our fingers.?
I love your crochet tutorials!!! Please do more ❤️
Miss miss miss you Melanie Ham! Can’t wait to see you again…💔☺️
I have already crocheted 2 of these in 20 minutes!
Looks cool! Thanks for a crochet thing & hopefully simple... Hopefully I can make one. I killed my wrist making something almost 2 years ago and it still bothers me when I do too much, lift heavy things, etc. keep up the awesome work!- Amanda
These would be cute coasters!
Many thanks Melanie for your clear and informative tutorial, we are trying to use less to do our wee bit to save the planet. I am making a bundle of these from left over cotton yarn both for myself and my DD. I think they would be great as extra's for gifts.
I wish i could crochet, my mum can. Never been able to get it.. I can build and repair a pc but crochet eludes me.
SimderZ check out Coco Bella, her beginner tutorial taught me :)
Coco Bella uses UK and not US terms, Bobwilson123 is great...Start with the basics, 1.learn to make a slip knot, 2, make a chain, 3, grit stich (single crochet), from there u can learn, half double, double, triple crochet, after u master that, u can go for front loop/back loop, front post and back post - i taught myself like that ;)
Wooley Wonders on youtube is good too, also UK but she doesn't go too fast.
Catherine, It's Bella Coco, (not Coco Bella-lol) and she most certainly does use U.S terms as well.

Trille lmao it’s not that hard to know both versions of terms. she also always links a translator below.
I'd like to try these. I have cotton yarn. How many times can they generally be washed/used
Mine have been washed hundreds still fine
So easy project!!! Melanie miss 💜💜💜
Your videos are easy to understand and follow! Thanks for sharing!
1:55 you're welcome! ☺️🌺
linen/cotton mix yarn gives an exfoliating scrubbie. I'd love a close up of where the slip stitches go!
What a great idea! I'll be making a few for me and my daughter...and maybe make more as Christmas gifts 😀. Thank you. 😙
I love your method I think it is very simple and I am planning on making one of these for my Aunts Birthday that is on Monday(tomorrow)
Great tutorial Mel. I shared it with my friend who is new to crochet . xoxo
I found this very helpful. Very detailed re where to place the stich as to where not to. I alway find that the most dif. in a pattern and mostly get it wrong .... and then I have to undo etc. Thank you again.
Thanks you’re so easy to understand 🎉😊
Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials! If I am ever looking for one that's easy to follow I can always count on you! I've been making these scrubbies with aran weight 100% cotton yarn and 5 mm crochet hook but I am finding they have very visible holes when finished. Should I go down a hook size or what?
Me too…and I can’t get an answer
so if i wanted to make it bigger were you did your last row -the 2DHC in the same stitch and 2DHC in the next 2 stitches would i then do the same DHC in the same stitch and then 3 DHC in the next 3 stitches and so on? and ty i love watching you you are far by the best yet ty again
Very easy to follow! Thanks for the instructions
Thank you ……RIP dear Melanie…you are so missed
Love to crochet with you. You make it so easy.
ive put the vidoe in slow motion and still cant do the magic circle. I won't give up tho lol. Love ALL your vids Melanie. God bless you sweetie!
If you wanted to go to the 5th round, would it be 2hdc and 3 sc etc?
Thanks for the Christmas gift idea!
I was making these all wrong! Thanks for a great tutorial.
OMG! I did it! YAY! Your a great intructor!
We miss you Melanie ❤️
If you would end the scrub i.e. with an invisible join, no one would know where you ended. Do you use the invisible join in your personal projects? Just wondering!
Love this video. Great pace and easy to follow. Thank you
Got a bit messed up on that 4th round. Also, if I wanted to make these larger, would the 5th round be three hdc?
Thank you! Your a great instructor!
Best explanation! Simple
Thx to you I’m beginning to crochet 🧶 yaaayyy!!! Thanks
Thank you!! I was looking for something really quick and easy and it ticked both of the boxes.
Love ❤️ it!!!!! Thanks 😊
Thank you. I was about to order facial pads online. 👍👍👍
thank you share this video, I would to try myself to make the makeup removal pads, and wool is nomal or need speical wool to make this?
Love it! Will make many, for gifts!
Did you crochet your necklace? It's beautiful I need to know if you made it? Thanks
Love this! Could you do a tutorial for a round and rectangle crochet rug please xx
Rectangular is simple enough to understand, chain however many chains that you want then do what ever stitch you want and continue until you have the size you want then fasted off
love your videos, please do more sewing projects for beginners
Wonderful well done
THIS VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU
TFS! Several segments of the video were blurred but I am going to try doing this technique and hope I get it right.
What does TFS mean?
Agr8fullife
TFS means "Thanks For Sharing"
Thank you for this tutorial! X
I have to practice this. 🙏
I love this, just asked my 24yo daughter who is home visiting from Way north Australia if she would like a couple and yes please was the answer and can you make some for my fellow teachers. HELLO she leaves to go back home in 2 days, guess i will be busy.
Mine did start curling upwards. How do I fix this, please? BTW, these are SO CUTE! Thank you!
Also, I did get the count right. How do I fix the tension? Do I change Crochet Hooks?
Do you use the scrubbie to wash your face? I never heard ot scrubbies.
Okay so always ignore the chain you slip stitched into and start on the chain next to it? I've been watching amigurumi videos and they're slightly intimidating and confusing. If it says 9 sc then increase 18 sc then decrease 9 sc would I do every other sc from the 18 sc round?
Thank you for the tutorial I’ve been thinking what to make my mom but then I saw your video and then I thought I chould make my mom something to put underneath her tea cup Thank you so much ☺️ Even tho its a Face Scrubbie uhhhhhh its fine right?😅
What kind of crochet that do you use ? Coton or another thing ?
It cannot get cuter than this! Thanks so much for the tutorials :)
If I continue to make my circle bigger such as 1 half double crochet and 3 stitches, 1 half double crochet and 4 stitches, etc .. Do I still need to slip stitch and chain or can I just continue to crochet and increase all around using a stitch marker while maintaining the round circle pattern?
M
Is there a written version or do I gave to keep rewinding?😳😁
Sandy Takacs you could go to settings and slow the video playback. It helps a lot 😉
They cute and beautiful
