I have watched so many videos on how to to Foundation Double Crochet and this is the absolute best explanation! Your instructions are very clear and concise. Thank you so much for this video!

[EAM-ov]

Excellent tutorial- got to grips with it straight away 😀 Game changer for me - a crochet noob who hates the long chain idea

[bananamittens]

Holy crap, can't explain how excellent this video is. I read blog posts and watched other videos and just couldn't figure out what to do. You're now my go to crochet explainer!

[alolaninetales]

this immediately became the best tutorial when you pointed out how keeping that one loop loose prevents the stitching from curving. it was driving me nuts and none of the other tutorials i watched mentioned it! thank you!

[sarahhale]

Thank you! I am a seasoned crocheter of over 15 years but have never done FDC before. I can't tell you the amount of FDC tutorials I watched and I still couldn't get it. Your video fixed that for me. Thank you. ❤

I finally got the hang of it thanks to this video because the proper lighting helped me see the crochet work clearly!

I never understood these until now! Thank you! You're a great teacher!

Thank you!! I watched several other videos and couldn’t see exactly what they were doing. Your video was very clear and I got it immediately.

I love how nice the foundation stitch makes my projects. Thank you for supplying a good tutorial that I can always come back to if I forget what I’m doing.

I bought a crochet pattern bc I didn’t know how to make a part of it on my own just by looking at it, and didn’t know what it was called since I’ve only been crocheting for a month. In the pattern I bought it just says “make a foundation double crochet row” and I was like HUH. Thank you for this Showing up close exactly where we need to put the hook and and saying how many loops we should have on our hook is so helpful! I didn’t even know what I didn’t know, and now I have the confidence to try it!

You explain so well, and i love that you go back at first so we can do it with you instead of having to go back on the video all the time!! Amazing tutorial, thank you :))

Crocheting a base chain of over 200 stitches (and keeping them neat and even by using the proper tension) was so frustrating that I had to give your technique a try. Success😊!

[taramoorefield]

This is FDC for Dummies! I have given up on this soooo many times before seeing this. Thanks for giving me the confidence to attempt something beyond "chain 254 and row 1 double crochet"...bottom row was always smaller than the rest.

[haddayr]

This is the best explanation and tutorial on this I've ever seen!

[cherylfrances]

Absolute game changer ! Very well done 🎉
