Magic Circle Made Easy

When I first started crocheting to sell, I started with Minion hats. I did really well with the Minion hats, but then I had people asking for other characters so when I was looking to branch out, all of the patterns I would find called for a magic circle, but there was always the caveat that if you didn't know how to do the magic circle you could start your round the old fashioned way (chain 4 and join with a slip stitch), which I did. After a while I started to wonder what all this fuss about a Magic Circle was about. I dedicated an entire morning to watching YouTube tutorials on how to create a Magic Circle, and each one left me more confused than the last. I finally figured out a way that worked for me after understanding the "philosophy" behind a MC. Lately, in a couple of the Facebook groups I follow, I've seen a lot of people saying they are confused about Magic Circles. Maybe it's because the colder weather is upon us and more people are crocheting hats right now, who knows. Well I decided to throw my own hat into the mix and filmed my very own tutorial on the big mysterious MC! Hope you enjoy!
