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!

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!

My chainless foundations always look even worse than my foundation chains, but I am determined to get this right.

It really is a stitch that takes practice. I found that once I got the hang of it I very rarely use a chain to start if I can help it!

Great tutorial… you explained it perfectly as to where I actually put the hook to create the stitches after the first one. And, you’re the only tutorial that said chain 3 to begin, and it came out perfect (1 said ch 4 and 1 said ch 1 and I couldn’t get it).

After searching several older books, looking at 3 other tutorials, I think you have actually made it a lot clearer how to do this stitch - I still need lots of practice and wish I had an drawn image on this technique, but this is great - Thank you so much😊 do you have a stitch diagram reference drawing?

@hopecornerfarmcrochet Год назад

@user-eo7ib2ns5p 9 месяцев назад

This is great! I never knew about dis kinda stitch! I'm jus wondering if theres a certain way to end dis tho? I'm gonna start a scarf so I'd jus like to know before i reach da end

@hopecornerfarmcrochet 9 месяцев назад

You just keep repeating until you have the number of stitches that you need. You then chain and turn and start the next row. There is no special way to end this stitch. Hope this help! :)

@sofiap1767 4 месяца назад

Thank you for a great video! My question is when you are starting row tow, whitch side of your chain do you crochet in?

@hopecornerfarmcrochet 4 месяца назад

If I have just completed a row of FDC stitches, the next row gets worked into the side that is currently closest to my crochet hook. I usually chain and flip/turn to start the next row so that side is in the correct place. I hope that makes sense! :)

@annarees2186 Год назад

hi there! beginner here, thank you for such a detailed explanation. I am planning to use this stitch rather for a blanket pattern, rather than a chain then double crochet. Question: does this foundation double crochet stitch count as the first row of double crochet on my regular chain/dc pattern?

@annarees2186 Год назад

also to continue to the next row of double crochet, do I continue with the turning stitches as noted in the pattern, as if it is a normal row?

@annarees2186 Год назад

example if it helps to understand what I’m asking: pattern says - chain 152. row 1: double crochet in 4th ch from hook. DC in each Ch after (150st). chain 3, turn work row 2: DC in 2nd stitch

@hopecornerfarmcrochet Год назад

I would count it as the first row of double crochet if your pattern is telling you to chain and then double crochet. Hope this helps! :)

@seagreenblue4052 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. This is the perfect tutorial for dummies like me. I've crocheted a blanket 1/3 of the way. Saw problems. Frogged. Tried chain, then SC for a neat finish. This tightened entire length by >40%. Frogged. Now I'm here. QUESTION: The pattern starts right on the First Row after making 178 chains. If I do a DC foundational row, how do I know which is RIGHT side and WRONG side? With this, I'll be starting the pattern on Second Row instead of first row. Please help. 🙏

@hopecornerfarmcrochet 6 месяцев назад

If you check out my video on fixing problems with foundation stitches, I show how to go to the next row after using a FDC, among many other things! I hope this helps! :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oNBcnQ6tANA.html

@mollyhahn1906 5 месяцев назад

After the first couple of DCs, I get lost as to where to insert for the next stitch. Do you have a video that specifically points to where the next DC stitch goes? Is it the bottom of the first "chain" of the previous DC stitch? You are a wonderful teacher!

@hopecornerfarmcrochet 5 месяцев назад

@@mollyhahn1906 It is at the bottom of the first loop or chain of the previous FDC stitch. I am working on a blog photo tutorial for this stitch, which I hope to have up soon too! Thanks for the kind words! :)

@lilliblx3994 Год назад

Hi, how do I count the foundation Stiches at the end?

@hopecornerfarmcrochet Год назад

On the top of the stitch there will be what looks like a V. Each V is one stitch. I hope this helps! :)

@machelleswiney7834 10 месяцев назад

I have a question. I am very new to crocheting and I want to try this. My question is, when a pattern starts out with a chain that is multiples of 6 plus 3. Can you explain how do you do that in the chain less foundation chain?

@hopecornerfarmcrochet 10 месяцев назад

It would just be multiples of 6. The plus 3 is for creating the first stitch with a chain and stitch, so if you use the foundation double crochet to start, you would just need multiples of 6. Keep in mind that the Foundation Double Crochet counts as one row of double crochet stitches to start (it would be the same as chaining and then creating a row of double crochets). I hope this makes sense! Happy crocheting! :)
