A few years ago I shared the way I make a Chainless Starting Double Crochet. But somewhere over the last couple years, I started adding one more step, which I think makes it even better. So I'm dubbing this one the Improved Chainless Starting Double Crochet! www.mooglyblog.com/improved-c...

my crops are flourishing, my skin is clear, my depression is cured, I’m thriving…. seriously though, the straightness of my edges is so satisfying

@mooglyblog 8 месяцев назад

Best comment ever lol!!

@MissGaelSML 6 лет назад

This is so much better than chain 3! Everyone should use this technique. I can't imagine why it's not more widely used.

@carleenroberts6002 5 лет назад

I love this alternative to a ch3! No gaps at the edges! Another benefit is that the top of the stitch (the v) is so much easier for me to see and work into at the end of the next row than when I use a ch3.

@eyeroll-encore 5 лет назад

Just completed a simple DC scarf using this technique at the beginning of each row. Was amazed at the results--totally straight edges! I've only been crocheting a year now and this scarf is by far the most pro-looking think I've made. This stitch is my new favorite crochet hack.

@asraraevamps3726 4 года назад

same! I made scarves for my in-laws and comparing the first one to the last one using this ingenious stitch it's day and night!

@CrunchyMom88 8 месяцев назад

How's your work 5 years later? 😁

@taylorburton800 4 месяца назад

I love this!! I’ve even started this technique when working into a magic chain for my lovey blankets. Seriously so wonderful!

@ljwillis11 6 лет назад

Thank you! Over the years I have experimented on alternatives to the beginning chain 3 so it looks like a dc. Your way is the best! This makes me so happy. Thank you again.

You Tamara, are a magician! Thank you, 1,000 x's over!!

@docgregg2 4 года назад

Tamara, you are pure genius! I have been using your prior method and was happy with it. Now, however, I am on cloud 9. I LOVE this new technique!! Thank you for sharing with us.🤗

@grandmamn4263 Год назад

I've used your original method for several years now and appreciate the updated version. 👍

@nemnos 6 лет назад

GENIUS! Definitely using this from now on.

@CindyKinney 6 лет назад

Hi Tamara. It's nice to see another video from you. I will definitely be trying this in the future. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

@asraraevamps3726 4 года назад

Amazing! You totally just upped my entire crochet game! Thank you so much for sharing this ingenious technique!

@teceyS3 4 года назад

Wow! I tried this and it looks really awesome! You can't even tell either from the front or the back, that it's not just another regular double crochet stitch ;)

@vapinggaming 4 года назад

I've been waiting for you to improve this technique. The perfectionist in me always got annoyed that it wasn't really attached to the stitch below- causing a lift. I took a year off crocheting, came back, and found this! I knew you'd figure it out for the rest of us! Thank you!

@Rosequin1 Год назад

Thank you so much!! I've been crocheting for a couple years and have always hated using chain 3 - this looks soooooooo much better!!!

@juliestewart34 5 лет назад

This is exactly what I was looking for with the treble crochet. Thanks for the video!

@GeeBee111 6 лет назад

Thank you Tamara... I will be using this one from now on!

@jessicaembry9499 3 месяца назад

Love this improved version! I'm making your Blackberry Salad Striped Baby Blanket for my unborn daughter and this is a MAJOR game changer. I can't wait for the final result ❤

@mezibelle5870 6 лет назад

Awesomeness! I love it when there is always something new to learn. Thanks for sharing!

@topazpitt4619 6 лет назад

definitely a must-do!! thank you for sharing with us, tamara!! ❤️

@darthhobbit69 6 лет назад

Oh wow! That's brilliant. Thank you Tamara 😘

@ldmlhome 6 лет назад

I agree this is a small change yet a much better look!!

@TeaAndTankControls 3 года назад

I agree that it looks very similar to a double crochet. No more nasty gap! Thank you so much for improving on the method and sharing with us! Now, to make this around the post of the dc below and my seamless crochet ambitions will all be realised :)

@barbaraking9947 5 лет назад

Thanks! Love this and just found it! So happy about the way it looks.

@jeribianca9013 4 года назад

Love this Tamara! Thanks for sharing as always.

@yuliyazinchenko7627 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing! I love the way this stitch looks like! It is very close to regular double crochet stitch and easy to make.

@chrisscholten4454 4 года назад

Thanx, again, Tamara!! I learned something new!! (Yaaaay!!). I DO like the result of how you do it this way-it looks like it “fits” better and the side is much “cleaner” looking. I’m just starting The More The Merrier Blanket. I used your technique of the FDC-the foundation double crochet and it makes those first “2” rows melt into one!! So much easier than fiddlin’ with that first row of chains. Especially when there’s 247 to start!! So a huge THANX to you!! You’re the BEST!!!! 💜

@miriamremington0851 5 лет назад

This is funny! I have been doing it this way since I first learned about the chainless standing double crochet!

@idaliaas2901 6 лет назад

I've already tried and used many times the previous version (even in magic circles!) and I thought it's perfect. Till now. This technique is much better! I can see the difference, specially when the next row comes and I have to start with new DC - two strings on the top ("v") are better build and easier to use. Thank you for the tip!

@kimrodriguez1698 4 года назад

Thanks, Tamara. I'm practicing this stitch before incorporating it into my next (double crochet) scarf (a belated Christmas gift).🤗

@leodog5614 5 месяцев назад

Wow, thank you so much. I just today learned this „old“ stitch and found it so frustrating. This new, your, way is so much better. Thank you!,

@sherishaw4911 6 лет назад

We love this stitch over at Crochet au Lait Community on facebook. We were just having conversation about it this morning. No more gaps! Thanks for the tutorial. :)

@patriciaseaton1522 5 лет назад

Thank you for another great technique, Tamara!

@robbielinn7305 2 года назад

Love this technique even more than the original way, which I used all the time. Thank you!

@carolineberg295 6 лет назад

@2618winslow 4 года назад

Much better technique! You're a genius! Thank you!

@pallmall5014 4 года назад

This is the first video I've seen on RU-vid that does this. Other's I've watched, did it the other way; yo first then finishing the stitch. I'm going to use this method for sure. It really resembles the dc stitch much better. This is great, thank you for your tutorial!

@thebistitchualcrafter 5 лет назад

I love this. I've been doing it for a year or so now, and can't bring myself to use a chain anymore! I just did my first beginner tutorial, and left a link to this video in my info area. So that everyone can learn how to do this!

@mooglyblog 5 лет назад

Thank you so much!!

@patriciaseaton1522 4 года назад

I really like this method. Thank you, Tamara.

@lavondahale6194 Год назад

Thank you... That is awesome! I've always started with a sc row first because of the look of using the chs as your 1st stitch. I can't wait to try it out!

@cindylillard2938 3 года назад

Love this version ..Thank you. Stay safe and have a good day.

@curseofthepirates 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! About to start a shawl, and the pattern tried to explain how to do a chainless beg dc but I didn't get it at all hahaha. Your videos are all so clear!

@loischilcott844 4 года назад

Wow! Thank you so much. You made this so simple to understand!!

@breathejoy1 5 лет назад

What a beautiful way to create a much nicer edge! I have been so frustrated by the chain 3 turn,, as I always end up with odd edges. Thanks!

@luannmadelinebatt 5 лет назад

Stating a new project with this stitch! Thanks!

@mercedesespinoza1825 6 лет назад

Thanks! I'll try this on my next project.

@cathharr08 6 лет назад

I love this Tamra..thanks very much for a nice looking, better DC option rather than a Ch3.

@csamms1702 Год назад

Very clear explanation. I turned the speed to 75% and went slower. People do this so fast you cannot see where to place the head of the crochet hook where it is to go. Thank you 💯

@maxinelutes1464 6 лет назад

Love this !!!! Thank's !

@connietipler1007 Год назад

I love this stitch! It looks so much better than chaining.

@theastewart6721 6 лет назад

Very nice! Thanks for sharing! It looks much better than the ones with chains.

@shiregirl2001 6 лет назад

Thanks - I've been using a different chainless method, but I think your new technique probably looks better. I'll give it a try.

@mervatalrazzaz4001 6 лет назад

Perfect. Now there’s something to grab onto when having to create stitches in the sides of an afghan in order to make a border.

@abbynormal4740 6 лет назад

Thanks for this video! Actually, I've done the "improved" csdc before. I couldn't tell if I was doing the (original) csdc wrong or was too clumsy. So, I went into the 1st stitch to yo right after wrapping the hook and found it was much easier to complete the stitch AND it looked good : ) This accidental tweak became my go-to for doing the csdc (great minds, huh... Lol)

@karenadams5319 3 года назад

Thanks I just Learn a new way to do a stich.

@josephinesalazar7385 5 лет назад

I am always looking for ways to improve my craft. Thank you Moogly, for offering improvement tools for free! I found your foundational crochet videos a few years ago and utilize those techniques as often as I can. Now I can add this amazing technique to my toolbox, and I can already see the difference in my blanket edges. Thank You!!

Please use this improved method to update your other video How to Crochet: Chainless Starting Double Crochet in the Magic Ring. Thanks!!!

@MorganMagnus 2 года назад

I've been crocheting for years and never heard of this! It's so much better than chaining. Why isn't this the standard???

@mooglyblog 2 года назад

I think it's probably a little tricky for beginners, but a game changer once you're ready! ♥

@elizabetholiviaclark 5 месяцев назад

You came up with this improved stitch? You are so amazing. They should be calling it the Tamara stitch then. I know we don't do that in the yarn world, but in the polymer clay world, there is a method for blending different colors of clay that was devised by a woman named Judith Skinner, and they call that method the Skinner blend. It's widely known as the Skinner blend, so, we should call this the Tamara stitch.

@mooglyblog 5 месяцев назад

I have a sneaking suspicion lots of people have probably figured it out before, I just hadn't seen it! There are a couple of stitches I've come up with that are the same - I'm probably not the first to come up with them, they just haven't caught on widely yet! :)
