FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How much yarn do I need?
Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
-What equipment do you use?

I follow so many crochet channels but every single time I want to learn a new thing, you are the channel I come to. You taught me crochet a little less than a year ago and you are still, by far, the only person who has managed to teach me a stitch or a pattern in the first try. You're seriously awesome.

@bellacococrochet 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much :)

@nancycampbell7959 4 года назад

I`m not normally a gusher, but I just have to say you are by far the best crochet teacher on the internet! Thanks so much for sharing your skill and experience with such patience, clarity, and generosity.

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

You're very welcome and thank you for your lovely comments they really do mean a lot to me :)

@thomasfalk9166 3 месяца назад

I watched 2 other videos for this, both were different from each other. My final say is always however you teach it. You do a lovely job of explaining and showing and going over things several times before leaving us to do some on our own. Best tutorials ever!!!

@bellacococrochet 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much, I'm glad it was helpful :)

@jaynehall9337 8 лет назад

It has taken me a few days to get this but by government I can see it now! Thanks very much. Your demo's are so clear. Jayne x

@daisygirl111975 5 лет назад

You are the best teacher. I had watched five videos and could not get this. Then I said “wait Bella Coco could teach me.” Yep, nailed it. Thank you.

@shannajager918 6 лет назад

Love this. So helpful. Using this is so much easier then making a chain first. It used to drive me crazy to try and make the first row. Counting is so much easier this way. Thank you!

@jacquelinerobinson4889 8 лет назад

I love your videos! I am just a beginner, and your videos have given me such confidence. I can't wait to try this shortcut!

@bunnygirl627 6 лет назад

Thank you! I went through several videos with no success before I found yours. It finally clicked!

@valeriepaige3199 7 лет назад

Thank you! Most comprehensive foundation tutorial on RU-vid. I was successful thanks to holding the chain 1 stitch in place!

@yvonnegent7723 4 года назад

This is my very favourite video explaining how to make a foundation chain. Your crochet videos are so very well explained and far easier to follow than others I have seen. Thank you so much. I am getting there.xx❤️

@curlyrae3380 6 лет назад

So clear and concise. I knew I could count on you for the best instructions. Thanks ❤

@kerriedavidson9979 5 лет назад

Omg thank goodness for your video I watched a few on this stitch and was still having problems until I watched yours..your tip about moving your fingers up to follow where to put your hook next was the best thank you

@janetcooke384 Год назад

Thank you for demonstrating what the work should look like every step of the way. I think this may allow me to make the leap to doing the foundation stitch chainless. 😍

@bellacococrochet Год назад

I'm glad it was helpful :)

@kimfoster4661 9 лет назад

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that this is my favorite foundation row crochet video. I think you do an excellent job explaining how this is done and my foundation rows always turn out better when I follow your directions. Thank you so much for making this video.

@robynfairchild8274 2 года назад

I completely agree! Coming back after 2 years of finishing my 1st blanket that is all over the place this one helped me get back on track!

@CarolHalford2024 6 лет назад

This would be an excellent technique for getting started on a filet thread crochet project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, a very clear and understandable tutorial!!

@thebraidedmane 2 года назад

I'm years late but I have to say, I watched four other videos about this stitch before landing here, and this was the only one that made it "click" for my brain how to find the previous stitch to put the hook into! The advice for moving your finger up is great--it helped me find it, but also helped me understand what it looked like so I could find it without doing that. Thank you so much for your clear teaching!

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

You are very welcome :)

@mariechavez4356 3 года назад

I love this! As I usually like to crochet in the bottom bumps to make doing a border easier at the end. This automatically gives me chain stitches to work the border in! Genius!

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

@beverlyjeter8990 7 лет назад

Thanks for showing me how to do chainless foundation. I learned something new to me. I will be using it.

@rebeccaebstein7530 3 года назад

Thank you so much for your videos -- they are SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! I have looked at so many videos to learn the basics of crochet and your videos really break down the stitches so that I can see what to do step-by-step. I really appreciate your tutorials!

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

Thank you so much that really does mean a lot :)

@Skladdie 2 года назад

I absolutely love your videos; I've made a few blankets with these videos. I've seen other videos where they do tutorials on this and for whatever reason I haven't been able to get it down, it just didn't look right to me. I came across yours and you take your time to show exactly what you're supposed to do, and I think that's what helped me figure this out! Thank you so much

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

You are very welcome, I'm so glad that they have helped you :)

@peggyvtaylor 3 года назад

I have watched countless tutorials on this technique and have never been able to master it. Following this one, I got it the first time! Wow! Thank you!

Thank you so very much! I have been trying for such a long time to figure this out and thanks to you i have!

@juliedurnion1077 7 лет назад

finally got the hang of this, I am a leftie who crochets right-handed but I found I yarn over the opposite way to a right-handed and that meant it didn't go right. I have now corrected this and should get used to yarn over in the correct way with a little practice. this is a much better way to start a garment as it gives a more flexible edge. thank you

@cynthiapalace5932 5 лет назад

Thank you so much. I have finally got it!!!! I have looked at several tutorials this morning and yours is the only one that I understood. Thank you thank you. Now off to my open shell poncho for me... I am looking forward to using this stitch from now on when single crochet rows are the first row.... yea.... ❤😁😁😁

@bellacococrochet 5 лет назад

@janescott6286 5 лет назад

Thank you for this great tutorial. I read how to do it on a pattern and it sounded so complicated, but you made sense of it all and it now looks completely doable for me! :)

@bellacococrochet 5 лет назад

You're very welcome :)

@janet5437 5 лет назад

Just tried this and found it quite easy. It also seems that it leaves an edge just like the advanced foundation chain making it easier to add a border when it's finished.

@alisongoadby2359 3 года назад

I’ll have to give this a try, it makes a lot of sense rather than making with a chain and then working into it. Thank you for your very clear tutorial x

@ruthx199 6 лет назад

@iloveamerica53 6 лет назад

Bella Coco..... Hallelujah!!! Thank you so much m😁😁😁out of 10 tutorials, yours is absolutely the best I've seen!! Frustrated with finding the foundation chain to insert hook to making stch. The thing that made yours different? When you put your finger on it, and and I didn't have to search for the exact chain. I love, love, love, your videos💜 You are such a great instructor!!🌻🌻🌻

@gerrigregory1317 2 года назад

I love your videos, they are so easy to understand. I was having trouble figuring out where to start my next set of DCs - hold it as you're stitching, of course! I do this when I am using an invisible decrease, not sure why I didn't think of it for this. Thanks for the simple tip!

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

Best tutorial on chainless foundation I've found. I struggled with this with other tutorials. I do ask that if you ever redo this tutorial that you have a count after each completed chain to help beginners know exactly where the beginning and of the stitches are. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful and I have noted your comments :)

@squirrelygirl24 8 лет назад

I just tried this stitch for the first time, and it was pretty simple to do. My only problem is that I need to be more consistent with my tension. Thanks for a great tutorial!

How do you border a simple shell baby blanket? Your bottom edge is straight, but the top has the shell design. I am just beginning to crochet various stitches. Thank you. I like your videos and love to listen to your voice. I am an Anglophile!

@cled3600 5 лет назад

Would this work as well if the bottom row of the work had pattern stitches with, for example, extra yarn overs to create “holes” or with clusters or popcorns?

@marierutland8201 9 лет назад

Hi. Can you please tell me how this would work when the foundation chain required is a multiple of 3 plus 2? Would you discount the plus 2 and make the DC a multiple of 3? X

@elizabethlee007 5 лет назад

What do you do with the 2 beginning chains when you turn at the end of the chainless foundation row and crochet back across to them. How do I deal with them please?

Can this be used on any pattern except the granny

@ebonylamb4871 3 года назад

what kind of yarn is this?? My yarn is so soft it keeps breaking apart when I try to find the hole on the first chain? I have the 4 medium weight worsted but someone told me to try the 5 or 6 weight. I'm a beginner by the way. Someone also told me that this was much easier to do than the single stitch which i REALLY had trouble getting. I do the chains pretty good, it's just when i have to make the single stitch is where I get messed up.

@hattiem.7966 9 лет назад

What a pretty color yarn!! If I could only stop decreasing my rows! I do crochet a little better than I used to.:P I could knit a sweater in this color.:)

@CorenaGaroutte 8 лет назад

I'm 43 years old and been crocheting since I was in 4th grade. I still struggle with dropping and sometimes adding stitches. Once I get about five rows it's a lot easier. What I do is count each stitch every time I finish a row. If you need to add one , just add one. If you dropped a stitch it's easier to rework one row rather several and some times all. Like I said I struggle the first few rows, so I count them. After I only count ohh just ever few rows just to make sure I'm on point.

@CorenaGaroutte 8 лет назад

This is why the single stitch is hard. When you work doubles a triples you know if your on point if at the end of row the pattern ends up on point

@hattiem.7966 8 лет назад

I found out later that I wasn't counting each row and not chaining right,3 instead of 1 as I wasn't following a pattern.I do better with scarves than blankets.

@hattiem.7966 8 лет назад

+CORKY NATURAL CREATIONS Corena Garoutte I knitted a tiny bit as a kid but played outside most of the time or read books in the winter ( when I had to stay inside ).I took up knitting 18 years ago but the teacher wasn;t nice then decided to try last year.I did get help to finish a sweater ( the sleeves ) then I learned to crochet and to my shock,I prefer it but I do have mild arthritis now so that proabably is one reason.I told my daughter that this blanket won't be that straight on the edges as I got lazy and didn't pay attention!!!

@zacreichel4404 8 лет назад

It would be good to demonstrate in different colour yarns for the different stitches. Also, have you a tutorial on half treble crochet ?

@hannaheacott5758 8 лет назад

if it helps, when doing a half treble crochet, instead of "yarn over, pull through two, pull through two" you would "yarn over, pull through three" :)

Hi, ive just done tge US dc chainless foundation ( still struggling with the sc version ) but my bottom chain still seems a bit tight. What can I do to rectify this please.

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

I would try using a bigger hook size just for the foundation row only, and then switch down a hook size when you start the main piece 😊

How do you go thru 2 loops?

@rhondarendon 4 года назад

Great tutorial. I had watched another tutorial and didn't show u what to do after the 1st row so I went to make my 1st graphgan using the other tutorial and I now realize I messed up big time using the chainless foundation cuz my graphgan is coming out backwards. It's a superman graphgan and the S symbol is backwards on the right side. I so wished I had seen ur video 1st before starting my graphgan. I was half way into graphgan before it started becoming obvious. So many hrs of work and yarn. Thank you for showing us what happens after u complete the foundation row so no one else will make such a painstaking mistake that I did.

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

You're welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your graphgan but hope it's coming along well now! 🙂

@philippahaynes9560 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm fairly new to crochet and I've learnt loads from your tutorials. I struggle with foundation chains and am about to start my latest blanket using the chainless foundation (when I've had several practices!) Do I need to use a larger hook as the pattern suggests for making the chain, or will it make the first row too loose when I change back to my normal 4mm hook?

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

You're welcome, I'm so happy to have helped 😊 For a chainless foundation I would use the same size crochet hook as you're planning to use throughout.

@philippahaynes9560 4 года назад

Thank you, yes you can link the tutorial as long as you attribute it to Bella Coco Crochet and do not sell the pattern :)

@cherleechad 2 года назад

Love this, but how do you make the end match, as in a scarf!!!

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

You could work a row of plain stitches at the very end of your scarf to match the beginning 😊 You may also find that working a simple border around the finished piece will make the beginning less noticeable

@cherleechad 2 года назад

@@bellacococrochet Thank you
