Thank you so much for the double magic ring demo! I've been struggling with the versions I've seen of the regular one, and this one was easy to follow AND more secure - a win-win!
So glad it helped 😀👏🏻💕
Your tips and tricks are great. I save every one of your videos so I can refer back to them when I need a refresher. Thanks so much.
I really appreciate your words, thank you ! 🌸💕
Thank so much for all these tips and tricks! I am blown away by the differences in the crochet hooks! I had to watch that part several times to make sure I was seeing that right! 😊
Hey! 😀 isn’t that crazy?? I’m still so perplexed by this ! 💕
That is great to know about the P I know it'll come in handy in the future. Thank you for sending me the link! I also really like the double magic ring will be trying that out. Glad I watched the entire video and I am subscribed.
Thank you , Denise. Great to have you here! 💕
Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy the video. If you have any fun tips, leave a comment, always fun to learn something new :D xx
Lol oml
Hello there....How are you doing?
My Mom taught me to wrap yarn on my thumb and it works great. I have never seen that double magic circle before. I am going to start doing that from now on. Thank you for all the tips
I'm a beginner so all of those tips were useful to me. Thank you, Roz. I am loving your channel.
I’m so glad, thank you 🧶💕
You make such lovely videos, I love the colors u use. 😍
That is so kind of you , thank you so much !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for ANOTHER helpful video!
Glad it was helpful! 😀💕
Awesome tips. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much!
This video is so helpful! Subscribed!!
Thank you for your support! 😀💕🧶
"The letter P"...what a great tip! Often wondered about the top of my stitches and this tip is perfect. And I've been crocheting for 50 plus years. I love You Tube!
😂😂🙌🏻💕🧶
Those Susan Bates needles are my FAVORITE! I can’t count how many sets I have in different places around the house. I can’t live without them
Me too ! 🤣🙌🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe I even just found a spare set in my car 🙈
Ohhh, I love the double magic ring - thank you! I've never liked the regular one, it never felt strong enough! Cool - thanks!!
The letter P is very useful for me. I am sure I will remember that forever now. Thank you
Thank you !
Can I just say that I adore your cat. Mine is quite similar and is always curious about my crochet too.
Thank you for your Tips.
One thing I also do is talking pictures with my work in progress so I can see which Hook I used for this, as I have a large collection of hooks from different sizes and brands. And I always have several projects that I am working on. I also attach the yarn I use to a small cardboard and write the name oft the brand, the color number etc on it, so I it is easy to find the information if I have to buy more and having this project card makes it easy for me to organize my projects too
Love these tips, thank you for sharing! I really need to start taking photos too.
And thank you on Orion. He actually belongs to my daughter and I am getting to babysit him for a few weeks. I don’t want to give him back!! 😂😂😅😻💕
Double magic loop - nice one 👍👍👍

Granny squares on a book ring might be a great baby toy!
Thanks for the great tips!! Just ordered the darning needles. 😊💚😊💚
Wonderful! I think you’ll love them! 😀🙌🏻💕
I wanted some extra hooks and needed some smaller ones for a project. The Pioneer Woman set actually has different measurements on the compared to other hooks with the same letter. They came in a pouch so I wasn't aware until I saw one of them was a 5.25 hook😊
Great ideas. Thank you
Thank you !
Great tips,thanks for sharing with us
Thank you ! 😃
Thank you so much for yet again another super easy to follow video 😊
Thank you so much ☺️ 💕
Thank you for all the tips! I haven’t seen any of them before. Very informative for me, thank you again!
So glad! 👏🏻💕
thank you
So many great ideas and a list of times where I can find them. That's the best tip of all. When looking for yarn at a Charity shop I have often seen blankets made of "so called" Granny Squares which don't seem to sell and I know why. They have often used dull colors and only one or two. Yours look like flower gardens. I never thought taht my next project would be made of Granny Squares. Color I'm looking for. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much , Vera , so happy you feel inspired. That’s what it’s all about! 👏🏻💕
Wow really nice
Love these tips! Great channel name 💕
Appreciate it thank you !
Great tips. My greatest trick is this. When you find youve got only a short end left to weave, first determine where the yarn needs to be ran through and insert your needle first into that, very close to the place where your yarn is coming from your work. Now, thread the yarn into the already placed needle eye, pull on yarn so that it is not tight at the eye, giving the needle a chance to start feeding into your work with no resistance. The needle will weave in that small tail with ease.
Awesome! 💕
Love the “P”!!!
Thank you , it was a life saver for me too 😀❤️
I think the easiest explanation for magic loop for me was to simply make a loose slip knot with one chain to lock.
1:30 Kitty!!! Your cat looks similar in color to my cat. 😉💜
🙌🏻😻
Loved #10 the best. I like tight closure on my granny Sq. Thanks!!
Thanks so much ! 🧶💕
I’m making your granny sunburst square n like a tight closure. It’s a fun square n looking forward to the join as you go method n of course the border!!
@@wendelynyoung8609 wonderful! 😀
Hi Roz,
Thank you for sharing those helpful tips and tricks. I had no idea about the little’P’ trick so amazing.
Also when you showed the two hooks I could definitely see a difference in the hook size, I’d never have thought they were both 3.75mm 😮
I love that magic ring trick will definitely try this and I love the organza bags I get when I purchase yarn from some companies.
Take care and God’s blessings 🙏🏽💗🧶
I also love the SB finishing needles I purchased them after watching another of your videos. They are the best thing ever created😅💗🧶
Aren't the SB needles amazing? The hook thing was so WEIRD but a commenter made a good point that it might have been because it was a low end (CHEAP haha) hook and they aren't consistent with their sizing. Very possible but that's okay as long as I make sure to use the same one on a project. lol
Thank you for watching and great to see you here. xx
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you 🙏🏽 That is very interesting I’ll have to see if my hooks are the same size now…I’ve got an assortment of different brands. I think I’ve become a collector 😂
Thank you for the tips. I am a beginner. I have a really hard time doing granny squares.
It takes time, it will click with practice 🧶
Beware of using TP rolls! What were you doing when you changed the roll-- were your hands clean. As a volunteer at a local organization I was asked to decorate TP roll centers they had collected from the community I got so sick for 2 weeks!!! INSTEAD cut paper towel roll centers!!! Stay well!!!
Loved these tips thanks 😊
I love you and love everything you do it 💕 i follow u from Egypt 🤩
Oh, wonderful, so happy to read this , thank you 😀💕
Thanks for you 🙂 please write Tips on screen because l don't understand all speak English thanks 💖
@@mrmr-jn9pf you can also choose subtitles option ... they are in English but maybe that will help. Click the “cc” icon to get subtitles. Xx
Thanks i did it ❤️god bless you 💞
@@mrmr-jn9pf 👏🏻💕👏🏻
I just found your channel and it has helped me greatly! Would like to add a tip I watched from @HollyAuna about using a tennis ball or makeup sponge as a way to make your hook handles more economic. I've tried using makeup sponges, the egg shaped ones, and they do help a lot with my wrist pain and are so much more comfortable to hold. Hope this helps others who may also be suffering from wrist pains.
If anyone has tips on how to lessen arm and shoulder pain while marathon crocheting I would greatly appreciate if you could share them! Thanks!
That’s excellent. You could also try self adhesive cohesive wrap tape to go around the hook , they come in great colors and designs nowadays 💕
That special darning needle looks so cool! I'm curious if I can find it in my country
I have a link in the description- I had to order it online because I couldn’t find in my stores.
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you! I'll check that out :)
I love all these tips.
So glad!
It's possible that over 10 years of using the same hook that you've worn down the metal and made it thinner. But I think that the sixing between brands isn't always accurate. Use a caliper to check the diameter of the shaft for correct sizing.
I did check the caliber and one was a 3.75 mm and the other was a 4mm although they were both advertised as a 3.75 mm. Really interesting .
any tips for weaving in ends for thicker yarns like tshirt yarn? i like crocheting with tshirt yarn and sometimes the yarn doesn't fit through the needle eye.
I would recommend the Susan bates finishing needles - this will do it for you. they have a large size in the pack that will accommodate your tshirt yarn well. I think I have a link in the description box under the video but if I don’t you can find a pack on Amazon. Inexpensive and I use mine all the time . 💕
Hi Roz, could you please tell me which of your videos shows how to end a granny square with a smooth seamless line? Thank you
Oh boy , I’m not sure. Do you mean with an invisible join to other squares or invisible join at the end of the round?
Here is the invisible join to other squares:

And here is the join at end of the round- I show how to finish the square too:

@@PlayHookywithMe I think in the past one of your videos had a hack for ending a granny square without a “bump” I seem to remember a slip stitch maybe to a back loop of stitch or skipping a loop. I’ve tried ending a granny square doing the above but it doesn’t look seamless
@@sbw-fe2hq ok yes - the second video I recommended should show you that.
It might be that you are pulling it too tightly and turning it back into a slip stitch appearance which is an easy mistake with that technique. If I can remember more specific videos where I do this I’ll come back with a link .
Hi there 😊 I'm new to crochet, so apologies if this is a silly question, but what are the benefits of using a double magic ring versus a single? I think the double looks a lot easier to make. Is it simply an alternative, or does it have a specific use? Many thanks 🥰
Not a silly question… the double magic ring was the original version and it holds more securely than the single. The single is easier for most crocheters to do so that’s usually used more.
So in short, yes, it’s just an alternative but has a stronger hold. 😀🙌🏻🧶
@Play Hooky with Me Thank you, for responding. I appreciate you taking the time 😊
My center pull usually gives me trouble by tangling A LOT. Any advice?
Ugh - that is frustrating. I don’t have a great tip for this - I think it’s just a case of working a little slower and correcting that tail as you go. Sorry , I know that’s not much help. I can hear you saying “I’ve already tried that “ 😂😅
I just crocheted 9 of these I couldn’t get the hang of crocheting them together on 4th round ? You only showed us 4 stinted together? How many do you make for the steering wheel cover?
I shared in the video all of my measurements and how many squares I used. I didn’t share joining all of them together because it’s the same process whether it’s 4 ,5, 6 , 7 , 8 …
Glad you found a way to make it work without joining them as you go 👍🏻
If you block all the squares before you join, wouldn’t that eliminate the need to add and detract stitches?
Not always , no. If you’re working with acrylic yarn it’s very difficult to maintain a good blocking. It doesn’t respond as well to it like a natural fiber does.
@@PlayHookywithMe oh, ok. I didn’t know that.
The yarn they use plase
Crème cotton by loops & threads sold at craft store, “Michaels”
@@PlayHookywithMe idond have here in creece thenks you
@@evanthiadimitriadou2594 😔 hopefully you can find something similar 💕🧶
@@PlayHookywithMe ilove you thenks for the ancer the giveme god blessyou
@@PlayHookywithMe how i dond now
I think you mis-spoke about the hook sizes. You said 3.75 for both; one of them is larger.
No, that was the point of the segment. They were both supposed to be 3.75 (both are labeled 3.75 if you look closely) but as you see one is larger lol
When you've been accidently doing a double magic loop the entire time you've crocheted 😬😅
😆🙌🏻
Wait wait wait! That "double magic ring" has always just been called "magic ring" when I've looked it up. So what does an actual magic ring look like?!
