This crochet tutorial shows how to make a magic ring or an adjustable ring. As its name says, you can adjust the hole that is in the middle of your first round. I use a magic ring in many of my crochet patterns.

Photo instructions for the magic (adjustable) ring
1. Make a loop. The shorter end of your yarn should be under the longer part (your working yarn). In the picture the longer end is in the top.
2. Hold the loop where the yarn crosses. Insert your hook into the loop.
3. Yarn over.
4. Pull the yarn through the loop. Now you have one loop on your hook.
5. Yarn over.
6. Pull the yarn through the loop on your hook. Now you have one loop on your hook. Your magic ring is ready to use.
7. Now you can make stitches that the pattern requires. In this tutorial I am making single crochets. So, insert your hook in the middle of the ring.
8. Yarn over.
9. Pull the yarn through the ring. Now you have two loops on your hook.
10. Yarn over.
11. Pull the yarn through both loops. You have just made a single crochet.
12. Make as many stitches as you need.
13. Hold the last stitch with your fingers and pull the short end of the yarn to tighten the magic ring. Done!
