1. Holding the yarn a few inches from the end, wrap it twice around your first two fingers.
   
   
   


2. Remove the loops from your fingers, and hold as in the photo below. Grip the two loops and the tail firmly between your middle finger and thumb.
   
   
   


3. Insert your hook through the center of the ring, and draw up a loop. This brings the working yarn around the loops of the ring. Chain 1.


4. Work your stitches around the ring as indicated by your pattern. In the photo below, 6 single crochets were worked into the ring.
   
   
   


5. Pull up the loop on your hook so it won't unravel, and remove your hook. Holding the stitches firmly with one hand, pull on the yarn tail with the other. One of the two loops forming the ring will be drawn closed.
   
   
   


6. Continue to pull the tail to close the second loop. You might have to pull very hard, and it might be easier to pull straight down.
   
   
   


7. Work the first stitch of the next round, and insert a marker into it to indicate the beginning of the round.

Hi Kim,

I'm wondering if you might be able to repost the pictures?

Thanks!

What an awesome way to make the ring with no hole. Love it!

There's an easier way to close the ring that means you don't have to pull hard, or risk breaking your yarn.

1, Pull gently on the yarn tail and notice which of the two loops starts to get smaller (call this Loop A).

2. Drop the tail and start to pull Loop A. It will get bigger and Loop B will be drawn tight.

3. When Loop B has disappeared, pull the yarn tail again until Loop A is gone. Tada!

Here is a video to go along with this walk through if visualizing it is easier for some:
