A magic ring is a crocheting technique that allows you to make a small, tight ring of stitches without using a physical ring or hoop. The magic ring is known also as the magic loop or magic circle.
The magic loop is a versatile technique that can be used to make everything from hats to amigurumi dolls. The magic loop is created by first crocheting a loop of yarn. The loop is then pulled tight, creating a small ring. From here, the crocheter can work their crochet stitches into the ring, slowly expanding the size of the project.

How to Make the Magic Ring Step by Step
To make a magic ring, you will need to twist your working yarn around your fingers to create a small loop.
Looping the end of your yarn over the back of your forefinger, you leave a little tail before wrapping the yarn around your finger towards the palm of your hand. Make sure not to wrap it too tightly!
You'll want to be able to slide the loops off your finger easily when you're finished. leaving about an inch of space between each loop. You should now have a series of loops on your forefinger with a little tail hanging off the end.
Once you have inserted your hook, yarn over and pull the yarn through the loop on your finger. This will create a new loop on the hook. Now, yarn over again and pull the yarn through both loops on the hook. You have now completed a crochet stitch! This creates your slip stitch in that magic ring and you're ready to work more crochet stitches into that magic ring. 
How to Finish the Magic Ring Correctly
Finishing the magic ring correctly is simple. After you have crocheted the required number of stitches, pull the tail end of the yarn to close the ring. Cut off any excess yarn and weave in the end to secure.
You can use any type of crochet stitch with the magic ring, including single crochet or double crochet stitches. The key is to make sure that your last stitch is worked into the first stitch of the round, not into the space created by the magic ring. This will help to close the hole in the center of your work. With a little practice, you'll be able to create beautiful and seamless projects using the magic ring technique.
