Crocheting in the round - Adapted version

Instead of crocheting 6 ch you start off the same as you would when doing a loop. Thread the thread twice around your index and middle finger. Take your crochet needle and insert it in the loop between your index and middle finger. Catch the long end of the thread and draw loop through.

Twist the hook up till the loop rests on your hook. Thread over and pull through loop. 

 You will now have a ring with a dc / sc at the top.

 Start crocheting dc / sc into the ring.

 

 

Crochet 8 dc / sc into the ring 

At the end you pull the shorter thread which will close the 8 dc / sc into a tight ring. 

Do a slip stitch in the first dc / sc to close the ring.
