This is the best explanation of the stacked chain I have seen in 40yrs of crocheting.

I used to do a double height sc in the first stitch after turning then chaining 2. It was not great but had no bulk.

The only time I do the ch 3, sk 1, then dc in next st is if I am making blocks that will later be crocheted together. I use the holes to make the stitching easier.

The way my jaw dropped! I'm definitely gonna try this, thank you! 💓

[b.dailey]

You've answered the dilemma that i have not been able to find in any of the crochet books i've run to for this problem. THANK YOU❤

[occhoppers]

I’ve been crocheting for nearly 25+ years and never seen this technique. Thank you! Never stop learning.

[jessicalong]

Oh my gosh, thank you!! And thank you for using thick yarn so it’s easier to see what you’re doing

[missmarie_]

Omg thank you so much!!! I’ve been crocheting for 30 years and have always hated using double crochet to start a row, for this very reason! What a brilliant way to fix this problem! Definitely saving this to my crochet & knitting playlist, so I won’t forget!

[JayaShree-fj]

[crazocrazo]

[marieblankenship]

[junoantaresofficial]

Absolute genius. Whoever thought of this, I will love you for the rest of my life. The other ways have always really bugged me.

[caolgilliland]

I have been trying to crochet for 40 years. I have thrown away more yarn than I can imagine. This is the very 1st time I have EVER made a straight edge. Thank you 🎉

[martyrexroat]
