This week I decided I was ready to move on from practicing my regular single stitch crochet and learn how to crochet a circle! After researching the best way to crochet a bucket hat every website said to start with the top of the hat. Therefore I needed to learn how to crochet a circle. To start a circle you have to crochet a “magic ring”. To learn how to do this I watched a video and tried and failed multiple times until I finally got it!
This is the video I used to help me learn how to crochet a circle. The hardest part was definitely starting the circle but as I went on it continually got easier!
The circle I ended up with was not large enough for the top of my bucket hat but here is a practice circle I did!
Now that I am getting the hang of crocheting I am enjoying it much more. I’m excited to see how the hat starts to come together!!
Hey Jordan!
Your inquiry project is super interesting! Learning through video tutorials is a great idea because they are easy to pause and you can find several different videos that explain the same things. I’m excited to see how your project progresses, keep up the great work!
Hi Jordan,
I love the colours you’ve chosen for your bucket hat! I’m glad you found such a helpful tutorial on Youtube, its a great place to find videos for teaching yourself anything and everything. The pattern of the hat looks so cute and I can’t wait to see the final product.
