The Magic Loop Method of Starting a Round
The magic loop (also known as magic circle) is an alternative way of starting a round in crochet while avoiding a gap in the center circle. Rather than crocheting a length of a chain that is joined into a circle for the first stitches, start off with a simpe loop of yarn.

Step 1
Start by placing your tail of your yarn behind your working yarn.
Step 2
Holding the point where the yarn crosses, insert your hook into the big loop.
Step 3
Make 1ch ( does not count as a stitch).
Step 4
Make the first stitch into the loop ( here single crochet). Insert your hook under both strands of yarn (the yarn that forms the loop and the tail).
Step 5
Continue until you have made as many stitches as are required. Then pull on the end tail to close the center gap.
Step 6
Join the round with a slip stitch.
