I actually have no specific designs in the works for this technique. I simply wondered if it could be done, figured out it could, and shared it. It’s only an idea. I suppose in addition to keyholes, you can use them for loops to hang things like potholders from or simply add holes and circled to your work.

To address Emily’s question, you’re supposed to cut the loop and weave in the ends, which you can do immediately or after you’re done with whatever it is you’re making.

I tried this and wasn’t sure if I “wrapped my yarn two times behind this loop” correctly as the directions were a bit vague and I couldn’t tell exactly was going on in the picture…….ended up with a length of yarn when I tightened the loop that I didn’t know what to do with. After you make the ring, what then? What sort of things can you do with this within your work? I’m fascinated by this. Thanks for posting.

Confused me too, and I’ve been an advanced crocheter for ages.

It’s really not much different from doing a regular adjustable ring. If you know that technique and follow along while keeping that in mind, it should work out.

I found the tutorial very helpful! However, I agree with Wanda about a picture of the finished ring would be helpful, and also maybe a picture of example of how it may be used as a keyhole or with in other projects, like the one Candace may have been working on for this tutorial. It helps to cement the reason for learning the technique and provides ideas for incorporating it in a project. I am still learning and always appreciate anyone who is willing to share ideas and techniques. Crochet is such a versatile hand craft/art form! The possibilities are endless! Thank you Candace for your time and effort!

I’m glad I’m not the only one, though I did try again and think (only think mind you) that
I finally got what she was doing. A vid would be great and also a pic of the finished ring
once she finished it.

I’m with Wanda. Also, I don’t know what you would use this for in the middle of a project

I don’t know about anyone else but this was totally confusing
to me.
