Thank you! Understanding how to work out that increase stitch is turning out to be a game changer! Yes my pattern says it’s beginner friendly but it wasn’t feeling that way! At all! 😅
This video was perfect! Her instructions are clear, the speed of crocheting is great and the videoing shows the work clearly. The biggest plus for me was that she had no nail polish to distract from the work.
Thank you for a great video and clear explanation! I'm currently making coasters and considering making them like this in a continuous round. My husband is my guinea pig and he said that the center where my circle is, is too high and he has to place his glass a little off to the side. Now I was not using a magic circle, so that might be the problem but does anyone have any suggestions?
This was very helpful! When you get to where you do 36 stitches row 4, I believe do you Skip a stitch before doing an increase. What do you do when getting to row 5? Do you start over an repeat rows 1-4?
Hi! If you start your project with 6 single crochets in the 1st round, you will increase each round by 6. So, round 4 should have 24 stitches (6 x 4 = 24) Round 5 will have 30 stitches (6 x 5 = 30). When you reach the stitch marker, place an increase (2 single crochets in the first stitch) then, a single crochet into the next three stitches. Then, an increase (2 single crochets in one stitch). Repeat until you reach your stitch marker. The next round, row 7, you will make 42 stitches (6 x 7 = 42). You will continue this pattern until you reach the size circle that you want. There is no skipping stitches. There are no repeated rounds because each round increases by a multiple of 6 single crochets. I hope this helps! 🥰
Is there a way to fasten this off cleanly? So the last row isn't noticeably higher than the previous one at the end point? I've been scouring UA-cam, but I can't find a video that shows this.
With a continuous circle, there will be a slight difference in height. Adding a border row or two can help to hide the difference. When you finish off the yarn, the method you use can make it look more even. I'll post the link to a video that shows what i mean here. ua-cam.com/video/MOjUsBADew8/v-deo.htmlsi=NLbma6SbjjPuRs88
I know this is a silly question but I’m a beginner lol! I’m currently working on my first pattern that is a continuous round which will be an amigurumi chicken stuffed animal in the end. Does every continuous round pattern call for an increase stitch on the first stitch of the new round? Or is this specific to the pattern you were demonstrating for the video?? P.s. any tips and tricks you may have are much appreciated!!☺️
Hi! The increase stitch helps to increase the size of your circle and keep it flat. If you stop increasing, the sides start to build up - which is what you'll want if you want to make a round/ball-like shape. You'll increase until you have the diameter you want, then you'll start bringing up the sides. Then, you'll begin decreasing to close up your circle/ball. Hope this helps! I know there are a LOT of great amigurumi videos out there to check out! Good luck! XOXO
hello! I used this method just last night and now I don't know how to close it...? like how do I end the circle to continue to the next (different) pattern😭?

@@MoneyMonroe91 happy it helped! 🥰
You answered my question for the "curling" issue, as I used the 1-1-2 increase pattern and had to start all over from my 3rd row

The magic circle makes it easier to adjust the tension in the center. It might help your center lay flatter 😊
You explained it very well!
I tried several videos. Yours clicked!
Thank you very much!
I'm so happy you found it helpful! 🥰

Will I be able to make a round Granny Bag with this sc bottom?
I don't see why not! It's worth giving it a try!

@@maggiemaycrochet Thank you so much!
I used a safety pin as my stitch marker, is that okay?
Absolutely! They work great! 😃

Just make a slip stitch into the next stitch. Cut the yarn, then pull it through. ☺
What kind of yarn is that?
It's Lily's Sugar and Cream, 100% cotton.
