This video tutorial is very useful for all you beginners out there who want to learn how to crochet a magic ring for Amigurumi.

When you continue crocheting around the circle, your toys will look nice and neat without a big hole in the middle of your work.

Typically, crochet toys will start with a magic ring, which is why I will show you an easy way of mastering this technique! If you would like to see how I use the magic ring technique in my patterns, then check out my FREE Amigurumi patterns here.

And if you would like to learn how to start your Amigurumi project with a chain (Amigurumi oval) instead then check out my How to crochet Amigurumi around a foundation chain video tutorial.
