Here is how to make the yarn ring (loop) shown in your image — this technique is often used for making crochet flowers, puff motifs, leaves, or pom-pom style pieces.
🌿 Detailed Tutorial: How to Make This Yarn Ring
✅ Materials Needed
✔ Yarn (medium weight works best)
✔ A ruler or a flat piece of plastic/cardboard (3 cm wide)
✔ Scissors
✔ Yarn needle (optional, but easier for tying)
🟢 STEP 1 — Prepare the Ruler
The ruler acts as a wrapping tool.
- Choose the width you want (the image shows around 3 cm).
- Hold the yarn at the top edge of the ruler with your fingers.
🟢 STEP 2 — Start Wrapping the Yarn
This step creates the thickness of your ring.
- Begin wrapping the yarn around the ruler horizontally.
- Wrap evenly, each wrap next to the previous one.
- Keep the yarn tight, but not so tight that it bends the ruler.
- Continue wrapping until the layer is thick, like the picture.
👉 Recommended:
Wrap 200–250 times for full thickness.
⭐ TIP:
The more you wrap, the fluffier the final circle will be.
🟢 STEP 3 — Secure the Wrapped Yarn
This step forms the center knot.
- Cut a small piece of yarn (about 15–20 cm long).
- Slide it under all the wrapped strands:
- You can lift the edges with your nail.
- Or use a yarn needle to help push the yarn underneath.
- Bring this piece of yarn to the top center.
- Tie a tight knot.
- Pull as hard as needed — this is what holds the shape.
- Double-knot or triple-knot to secure.
👉 Make sure the knot is exactly at the center.
🟢 STEP 4 — Remove the Yarn From the Ruler
- Carefully slide the entire wrapped bundle off.
- You will now have a long “folded bundle” tied in the middle.
It should look like a giant yarn bow.
🟢 STEP 5 — Shape the Bundle Into a Ring
Now you turn the folded yarn bundle into the round shape.
- Hold both ends of the bundle.
- Curve it slowly to form a circle.
- Bring the two ends together.
- Tie them using the leftover center-tie yarn.
- Pull tight to close the circle.
- Adjust all strands so they spread evenly around the ring.
Now it looks like the green yarn donut in your picture.
🟢 STEP 6 — Adjust and Neaten
- Gently pull the yarn on different sides to even it out.
- Trim anything uneven.
- Open the strands with your fingers to make them fluffy.
⭐ DONE!
You now have a perfect yarn ring just like the image.
