A crochet magic circle is a way to begin crocheting in the round without using slip stitches. You loop the yarn, and then crochet into the loop space. When you have completed your first row of stitches into the loop, you pull on the tail, and draw the loop closed.
This is really helpful for amagarumi, because you have a much, much smaller "hole" in the middle, than what you would have if you slip stitched a foundation chain.

When you start to crochet a pattern and it says sc6 into a circle how do you do it?
When a crochet pattern calls for sc6 into a circle, what the instructions are stating are to make a magic circle, and then single crochet 6 stitches into the magic circle.Nice, hunh? Now, what in the world is a 'magic circle' (or magic loop. or magic ring)??? Well what you do is loop your yarn/thread around your fingers twice, then single crochet the 6 stitches into the loops, then you will pull one of the ends of the loop/circle/ring, to close the loop up. Viola` you have begun your pattern using 6sc, and minimizing the hole in the center of the pattern.I would suggest that you check out youtube.com to find video how-to's for the magic circle, magic ring, magic loop. I've attached a number of links to this question, which will send you to youtube to check out the videos.

It is produced by working the double crochet stitches into the back loop only, of the single crochet stitches in the row below. Its very nice looking and if you work a swatch in the back loop only, and turn it on its side, you will see that it looks and stretches a bit like ribbing.
