The "magic ring" is basically just wrapping the yarn around your fingers - the 6 sc you crochet into the ring before you pull tight <b>is</b> Rnd 1 of the pattern. So make the ring & stitches into it, pull tight, then continue with Rnd 2. (If you have a pattern where Rnd 1 has e.g. 4 sc, you just make 4 sc into the ring before you pull it tight.)

I got the magic ring down, but am confused where to start on the pattern after the magic ring is done....for instance. The pattern says this: make a magic ring, ch 1, round 1: 6sc in magic ring, round 2: 2 sc in each st round....ok.... when you say how to do the magic ring, you make the ring and then crochet 6 sc in it, then pull tight, then do another round of 6 and then there is the magic ring.....ok, so my question is after the magic ring is done....what part of the pattern do I start on? round one? round two? or the part where it says ch1. I'm sorry if I explained my question in a confusing way. :( I am slightly confused and will try to explain it so it makes sense. :) I am just starting the dachshund pattern.

What does it mean by draw up a loop? Loop one of the chains? I put my hook through the loop like instructed and I'm trying to sc but, when I pull the working yarn through the first loop it just goes in a circle, it's not doing anything. Please help!

I've been struggling on my first amigurumi (the Lion Brand octopus for my little girl) because the starting loop always seems so small and difficult to work with, but now things should go 'swimmingly' :) Thanks a million for this!
