Crochet Magic Circle Free crochet Pattern on Crochet 'n' Create

A crochet magic circle is a neat way to work in the round, unlike the regular chain loop which leaves a hole in the center, the magic way works by using the loop to close the center hole.

Use this method when making hats, doily’s, round blankets and many many more things.

For the samples I have used a light worsted #3 yarn with an appropriate crochet hook size, it works well with any ply yarn and hook size.
