TUTORIAL: Finishing and securing a magic crochet ring
When finishing a piece, I always hide any ends using a tapestry needle. I love neatly finished crochet when you can't tell where things are joined or where the stitching began or ended. With a magic circle, I prefer to secure the tail before hiding it, to ensure that there will be no unraveling.

Hook the tail and pull through to form a loop.
Work a slip stitch and pull the tail all the way through.
Tighten this stitch and your magic ring is secure. You can then use a tapestry need to hide the tail.
Magical and secure. Tidy on the back or inside...
