Amigurumi sheep - first steps

I hope this step-by-step for making magic ring works for you. I noticed that some youtube clips show it too fast and that makes you want to pause them every couple seconds, which is quite a task when one of your hands is entangled in tread and the other is holding your hook.

So, let's get started.

To start your popcorn ball (aka the body of sheep) you have to make a magic ring. I hope that the pictures below will explain how the magic ring is done better than an elaborate description.

The very first step is to make a loop around your fingers as shown on the picture above. The threads must cross each other.
Next, you slide your hook over the first tread and over the second one...

 
...and you pull the second thread under the first one.

 You should end up with a loop on your hook

The last thing to do now is to chain one through the loop on your hook...

  ...and you have your magic ring ready :)

With magic ring ready we can start making our popcorns.
