Make the base for bags, hats and baskets by crocheting a flat circle
In this easy to follow video tutorial, we show you all the steps you need to make a flat circle with crochet. This technique is used for the bottom of bags, baskets, hats and rugs. In this video we used single crochet, but you can follow the same steps to use double crochet, or another stitch.
This how-to will show you the steps needed to create a flat crochet circle. Set Up Round: Start with a magic loop. The how-to for a magic loop can be found by searching "Magic Loop" in the search bar at the top right of this page! For this how-to, we used 6 single crochet stitches in our magic loop.
