How to: Magic Ring Chain 2 Alternative

Hi everyone! In today's tutorial, I'm going to show you the 2-chain method for starting your crochet projects, an alternative to the Magic Ring. 

This method is especially helpful when working with plush yarn, which can get damaged when pulling tight, but it works well with thinner yarn too if you're not comfortable with the Magic Ring. 

In this video, I'll guide you step-by-step through making a Slip Knot, creating 2 chains, and starting your first row of single crochets. I’ll also share a handy trick to close the hole that can form in the center of your work.
