German term or phrase: Faden holen
1. Zwei Schlaufen um den Finger legen und zusammen halten

2. Mit der Nadel einen Faden durch die Schlaufe holen

3. Einen ***Faden holen*** und durch die Schlinge auf der Nadel ziehen (diese Masche zählt nicht zu der Mengenangabe in einer Häkelarbeit)

4. Diesen Vorgang so lange wiederholen, bis die gewünschte Maschenzahl erreicht ist.

Der Vorteil des Magic-Ringes liegt darin, dass man am Anfangsfaden so lange zieht, bis das kleine Loch geschlossen ist.
