How to Crochet: Chainless Starting Double Crochet in the Round

[starchan]

I love your videos so much. Clear, to the point, so easy to understand. You are one of—if not my one top—favorite crocheters on youtube

Thanks for this tutorial. I hate the look of chain 3 at the start of the next round, so this is a great alternative.

Any time I get into a jam while I'm crocheting I go to your videos. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to know your wealth of knowledge is out there for the taking

Shied away from trying these as I couldn’t understand but the video makes it very clear, will try it out shortly.

WOW! I have only recently picked up crocheting again and many thanks to you for sharing your clever techniques to improve our projects. I will DEFINITELY come to you when I come across something I am having trouble with.

You for this I am doing a pattern that has this but I didn't understand the written

[marchon]

Woohoo. This looks much better than the chain 3~! And i finally found a crocheter that holds the hook the same way i do, LOL.

Good tutorial but MUST watch the other one on the blog (same st in rows) first.
Both tog. are very helpful and taught me this new stitch. Thanks!

Thank you!! I'll never make a ch3 to start a row/round again!

[juniheks]

Wow, for an instruction video this is so fast. Very “impressive” skills

[nicolescott]

Can you do this when doing single crochets in the round?

[reneerichins]

How do you join to the standing stitch but continue on to the next round?

I have watched NUMEROUS videos on how to do this. I just can't figure it out. So far, I've wasted an hour on this!
