Loose magic rings are ruining my blanket 😣

[Handbaghag]

I am doing a blanket that is a variation in granny squares, starts with a magic ring and then 12dc as the centre of each flower. It's been a slow grower and I've added to it over 18 months but I've noticed some of the older squares are opening up because the magic ring has become loose. What am i doing wrong? I've got to go into some of them and rethread the center to pull it tight again 😢

Sorry, realised this is the wrong forum. Will move to arts and crafts

I use this method and it seems to keep it really secure- m.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZQv-dH6htE

That really helps thank you

Ooooo that’s pretty! Lovely colours.

If you can find the end, you can slip stitch it to another stich at the back and secure it firmly that way. Better to start with a chain of three or four than a magic ring.
