Place one stitch next to the ring, press Distribute, and it is copied evenly around the ring.

Steps

  1. Place a magic ring on the Freehand canvas.

  2. Place one stitch, for example a double crochet, right next to the ring.

  3. Choose the Select tool (or press V on the keyboard) and click the stitch to select it.

  4. On the small toolbar that appears above the stitch, press Distribute.

  5. Type the number of repeats, for example 12, then press Distribute again.

  6. The stitch is copied evenly around the ring, with the same space between each one.

Good to know

Always even

Distribute spaces the stitches in equal steps all the way around the circle, with no gap at the end of the round.

Standing chain placed first?

If you placed your standing chain by hand before pressing Distribute, Chain One asks, "Include the standing chain in this round?" Choose Include it, and the chain becomes part of the ring. It then moves and turns with the round.
