Bean Sprout Boutique: Crochet: The Magic Ring Tutorial
http://beansproutboutique.blogspot.com/2013/08/crochet-magic-ring-tutorial.html
Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Crochet: The Magic Ring Tutorial. The Magic Ring has changed the way I crochet. I hated that little unsightly hole left in the center when crocheting in the round.

Bean Sprout Boutique: Crochet: Tips for Writing Good Patterns
http://beansproutboutique.blogspot.com/2013/07/crochet-tips-for-writing-good-patterns.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. Crochet: Tips for Writing Good Patterns. I've finally decided to take the plunge and turn my scribbles and notes into actual crochet patterns that someone besides myself could understand. The first step was determining which hat pattern I wanted to write out. After all, some of the hats I've made are from other people's patterns. And others, well, maybe no one would want to make. So I narrowed it down and chose the Aviator Hat. It's cute and popular and fairly easy for a beginner.
