How do I make a Magic Ring?

Please note: in the following photos, the starting yarn tail is always on the left and hanging down. The working yarn begins on the right and is then picked up over my left forefinger in Step 2.

list of 7 items
1. Make a loop a few inches from the end of your yarn. Grasp the join of the loop (where the 2 strands of yarn overlap) between your left thumb and
forefinger:
magic ring
  
2. Insert hook into the loop from front to back. Draw up a loop:
magic ring
  
3. Ch 1. Note: this does NOT count as a stitch:
magic ring
  
4. Insert hook into the loop, so you are crocheting over the loop and the yarn tail. Draw up a loop to begin your first sc:
magic ring
  
5. Complete the sc. Continue to crochet over the loop and the yarn tail until you have the required number of sc for your first rnd (6 sc shown
here):
magic ring
  
6. Grab the yarn tail and pull to draw the centre of the ring tightly
closed:
magic ring
  
7. Begin your second round by crocheting into the first stitch of the first round (below, left). At the end of round 2 your work will look like this (below,
right):
magic ring
  
list end

You'll never go back to your old method again, I promise!
