Big Magic Loop

Modified Magic Loop with round worked about 3/4 through.
Magic Loop is a technique for knitting in the round with a circular needle that has a long cable. The trick is that you leave a loop of empty cable to the left and also to the right of the work. It's a great technique, which works for big and also very small knitting in the round. You can find more about basic Magic Loop here Magic Loop Rocks!.

Modified Magic Loop is for larger work, which doesn't need two loops but is too small for the whole cable to be in use. Just leave a loop of cable between the first and last stitches in the round as you work.

Modified Magic Loop a few stitches into beginning of round.
