I either end up with the loop turning nto a slip knot or no stitches at all when I try to close the loop. What side of my body should the working yarn be on and is it on over the top yarn cross or an under the bottom yarn cross when the yarn begins on the hand?

Thanks.

If you still have problems, please email me with the details of exactly where you’re going wrong – i.e. at which point your heart stops looking like the one in my photos, and include a photo if possible so I can see what you’re doing wrong, and help you further.

How do I extrapolate the magic ring instructions to a pattern that does not use the adjustable ring as a base?
Do I just skip the chain x, join w/ sl st part and just crochet Round 1 into the magic ring?
Example 1 (from a flower pattern):
Ch 4, join w/ sl st to form a ring. Round 1, ch 5, *sc in ring, ch 3; rep from * 5 times, join w/ sl st to 2nd ch of beg ch
Example 2 (from a snowflake pattern)
Ch 6, sl st to beg ch to form a ring. Round 1: Ch 3, 1 dc in ring, ch 2, * 2 dc in ring, ch 2; repeat from * 5 times. Join to 3rd chain from beginning ch 3 (12 dc 6 ch 2 loops).
How would I use an adjustable ring in these patterns. Or can I not?
I’m sure the answer’s very clear to others, but I just can’t seem to wrap my head around to how use the non-adjustable patterns with an adjustable ring method.
Thanks, Jade
