    Omg! Thank you! This is awesome.
    Frogging sucks.
    I'm fairly new to crocheting and keep having to frog because the count is off and can't just get into the groove of crocheting, where I get to just zone out and relax.
    Great tip.

    hi ! thank you so much for your video! I would like to know if it also works for a closed/ joined foundation chain ? thank you again 🌸

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  2 года назад

      You're welcome 😊 In order to be able to do this, your foundation chain would need to be flat, i.e. not joined in the round. If you find you have the wrong number of chains in this case, you would need to undo the slip stitch and then adjust it.

    Hello. Thank you for this really helpful video. Would you be able to help me with this: what if in a pattern with bobbles where I've added some hdc in between bobbles and I notice that I've added an additional bobble and realise it too late as I've already worked on a lot of rows like in a sweater!! Is there a way to undo the bobble without ripping it all out and redoing it? Do let me know. Waiting for an early reply

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Год назад

      You’re welcome 😊 I don’t think I would be tempted to try and undo one bobble as this would risk all of your hard work coming undone. As bobbles are worked on the wrong side (so that they push out onto the correct side of the work) could you try and poke it through so that it shows on the inside instead?

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  2 года назад

      As you've already worked five rows I'll assume that you have too many chain stitches, in which case you can unpick those in exactly the same way as shown 😊 Unfortunately if you're too short of stitches then I think you'll have to frog back to row one 🙈
