The Math Behind A Crochet Circle & Why It Matters

The math behind a crochet circle is the secret to getting perfect circles that lay flat! I had so much fun making this video and geeking out about the intersection of math and crochet (see what I did there?). Even if you're not interested in the technicalities of the mathematics, I've included key takeaways so you can improve your circles through the power of math - whether you understand the math or not. ;)

Also, today marks the 7 year anniversary of my YouTube channel! Thank you all for the love and support over the years. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful community of crafters. I really enjoy sharing my hobbies with y'all, and your comments always brighten my day. Much love to you all. 💚
