You show this to be easier than I expected. I have found it difficult to do the foundation single crochet. Thanks!

As a beginner, I’m so happy to have found your channel. Thank you for such clear instructions!

I like this way for a more flexible edge and the chaining method (working in the back bump of the chain) for a firmer edge

This is great I will try it next time I'm starting a project. Thank you 😊

Very cute! When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was one of those "tube crochet" things that I remember seeing family do when I was little! I don't know what it was called, but it made an interesting shape, and the yarn was wrapped around pegs in a small plastic tube, then crocheted from there lol

This is brilliant! I hate working into the chain😅. Does this method make it less likely that the beginning of your work is not tight?

[GrannyL]

I do this a lot in all stitches ( uk stitches double, half treble and trebles )

[NotFeelingBlauw]

This feels incredibly familiar... I think my grandma may have thaught me this when I was younger? Is this common in Europe?

[kyuutatsu]

I don’t always like the foundation stitch mostly because I forget how to do it always

[youllbemytourniquet]

Mine never look this good 😂😂 but I’m also not as experienced as you are Tuula

[shalijoseph]
