How to Crochet in a Circle

Okay. So this isn't the best video. But give me a break. It's my first one. :)

A lot of patterns tell you to crochet 4 chains and join them with a slip stitch to create a circle, right? These directions are common in hats and in the birdie and hacky sack patterns I used for the gifts I showed in the previous post.

But I say that's not the best way.

Instead, crochet in a circle so there's no hole, like the one created by the techique used above, and sew the hole closed with the tail of the yarn.

If you have trouble viewing the video below, go to YouTube and search for either my name (easbrooke) or the title "How to Crochet in a Round."
