Yarn crochet tension ring

 Hi all!

So for a year and half my hands were very sore while I was crocheting only with my fingers. I've been trying forever how to deal with the pain! I knew there are metal rings but I wanted to see whether there's a possibility to make myself a tension ring - and guess what. You totally can! :)

I used this pattern, BUT I also stumbled on pleeenty videos on Youtube how to make a tension ring. I ended up following this one too where the creator explained clearly how to use it and also how to make one.
