    Oh my, whoever created this "turning-not" chain, he/she is a genius.
    That gives so much relief bc of that nice edge you get when next row ends.
    As someone said already, that gives a second chance to crocheting again for so many people.
    I even decided to repurpose one of my old unfinished sweaters just to enjoy that kind of turning 😄
    Also, when combined with chainless foundation, that gives literally perfect knitted fabric.
    Gorgeous! Many thanks for sharing that 😊

  • @offthehook4u
    @offthehook4u 3 месяца назад +29

    What a nice edge! After 50 years of crocheting I am definitely switching to this technique and whole heartily thank you for sharing it!❤

    Learning this stacked single crochet is what convinced me to start crocheting again. I made a throw with some yarn I purchased several years ago and I love how easy it all was, and how the edges look. I also don't do the chain one turn for single crochets anymore either. Thank goodness for people like you who share the knowledge!

  • @JC-tn9iv
    @JC-tn9iv Месяц назад +6

    I like it because it ends the confusion of if the chain 3 is counted as the first stitch or not! 😊

  • @annamccraw5651
    @annamccraw5651 3 месяца назад +14

    I love doing this. I've been crocheting 43 years and you are totally right when you say this is a game changer. It makes a more beautiful edge.

    • @kimbo500
      @kimbo500 3 месяца назад +1

      It really does. A much nicer finished edge! 👍

  • @Vmurph
    @Vmurph 3 месяца назад +14

    I just chain ONE (and turn) and then do a US double (UK treble) stitch in the very FIRST hole. It makes a VERY straight edge, HOWEVER, it also makes the first stitch identical to the others, which looks much neater.

    • @Johaan1025
      @Johaan1025 2 месяца назад +2

      Yes, I agree !! I have started doing the same and you’re right it does resemble the other stitches.

  • @cainkim42
    @cainkim42 3 месяца назад +62

    I love doing this. Blossom Crochet Showed us how to do this. I do it with US single, double, and treble crochet. looks so much nicer. much better edges. Thanks for bringing it to all your followers.

    • @robinmoore7202
      @robinmoore7202 3 месяца назад +4

      How do you do this for a single? Wouldn’t this give you too much height?

    • @beckasmith6725
      @beckasmith6725 3 месяца назад +4

      Inexperienced crocheter here, and the most frustrating part of the turning chain is finding the right stitch at the end. This is what's so appealing to me in this video -- it appears that stitch will be much more identifiable -- but I also wonder how you adjust for single and half doubles. I struggle with tension also.

    • @cainkim42
      @cainkim42 3 месяца назад +4

      for a single you just do an extended single. which is just extending your loop longer and instead of chaining just put your first single crochet in the first stitch.@@robinmoore7202

    • @cainkim42
      @cainkim42 3 месяца назад

      For a half double you can just put one stitch instead of two. and you can put three for a triple. it works for just about all stitches.@@beckasmith6725

    I’ve finally found someone who holds their crochet hook as I do with the yarn over the left middle finger. I learnt from my mum when I was about 12 and didn’t realise there was any other way till I discovered the internet about 9 years ago. You can go at warp speed holding your hook this way. 🌈🦘

  • @kellisailors2716
    @kellisailors2716 3 месяца назад +5

    I began doing this stacked single crochet about a year ago, I won't go back to the old way, the look is nice. I've been croching for about 46 years and I do it for all of the reasons that you stated.

  • @kimbo500
    @kimbo500 3 месяца назад +7

    I'm so glad you are sharing this with people Tracy. I have had the odd pattern (I'm in the U.S.), that instructed me to do this, and I really preferred it as well. I NEVER liked the 'chain business', as it looked SO unfinished! When I first was instructed to do it this way several years ago....I couldn't understand how it took me so long to come across this! Why was I chaining all this time!!! 🤦‍♀ I'm not the type to 'envision' things well, but I certainly can do as instructed....and I absolutely know what I prefer. I'm sure most people are really happy you have shared this and are as appreciative as I was when I first learned of it!! 👍 💕

  • @mycrochetstory7169

    I have done this "stacked single" technique for quite a while now. I love it!

  • @lennymac5915
    @lennymac5915 3 месяца назад +5

    This makes so much sense and always thought how is the 2 or 3 better than a proper treble stitch. I think even if you just manipulate a straight forward treble it still looks better. I've used a standing stitch before, but after crocheting for 50+ years I would not always remember to do a standing stick and do the chain, just because my brain is trained that way, and realise after I'd done a row or 2.

  • @oodlesacaboodles
    @oodlesacaboodles 3 месяца назад +21

    I also love using this Stacked Single Crochet stitch. I've always has such a hard time keeping my side edges straight, but after I learned this stitch, it has helped so very much in straightening them out.

  • @karinbingham5470
    @karinbingham5470 3 месяца назад +7

    I just watched this video a few hours ago and tried using this turning method. Its a game changer for me!!! My stitch count has been perfect from row to row. My sides are now gorgeous in my eyes. Very straight. I was always dropping or gaining stitches trying to make the sides look decent, not anymore!!! All i can say is thank you!! I am left-handed and watched the right-handed video with no problems. Thanks for having a left-handed video out there.

  • @williamyoud2642
    @williamyoud2642 3 месяца назад +5

  • @txwaterbird6115
    @txwaterbird6115 3 месяца назад +3

    Thank you! You're right about it being a game changer. And it looks beautiful. Now I'm going to watch the "lefty" version.
    I learned to crochet from my grandmother in the early 1960's. She being right handed and me being left handed made this a bit of a struggle, but with her patience I finally learned. What I didn't realize until about a year ago was that for all of those years I was doing some strange Frankenstein of crochet. Part right, part left, but it worked. So now whenever I want to learn something new, it helps to have both versions; right and left.
    So thanks again and I have subscribed.

    I found this method on another RUclips video and I absolutely agree with you, this method is a game changer and I am fairly new to crochet. Equally Ireally like the foundation chain and foundation row as one operation. No more tight foundation chains.

    I love the way you did that instead of having to chain. Sometimes when I chain the chain has a tendency to make a gap. I have never liked that!! So thank you so much! I will definitely be using that tip for now on, with everything I crochet.

    I’m immediately implementing this ending stitch instead of the chain-3.
    I’m still a beginner (on my 3rd project), and I’ve only had issues finding the beginning chain-3 stitch to start the next row. I was just sitting here, taking 10 mins to try and find the proper way to go into the stitch (sometimes, the 3 chains turn to make the back face me, so I get disoriented on where to even stick my crochet hook. 😂)
    This alternative stitch is _SO_ much more convenient and it’s more straightforward. It also works as you scale it up for longer stitches, so this is my life now. 😂
    Much appreciation to you for making this video! 😊🧶
    *Edit:* I just remembered seeing this stitch a couple weeks ago in passing whilst doing preliminary research into different stitches. Here in the US, this is called a stacked single crochet. But they didn’t explain it halfway as well as you did, so I dismissed it entirely as something beyond my skillset. 😅 Guess I was wrong!

    Quite a while ago now I worked out the version of this where you 'work behind yourself' at the end of the row. I like it because it helps me be sure (especially when I am doing crochet lace work) exactly which stitch I should be working into. I have that and a few other tips in a little video on my web site that is so old now the video quality got 'downgraded'. It's very amateurish too - shot way before all the great stuff we've got for recording and video-editing we have now. If you're interested you'll need to find my site and you look under the little chalkboard symbol that says tutorials. I've now changed my first stitch that substitutes for the turning chain (or 'chaining up' when you work in the round). Now I do that first dc, then a single ch, then a dc into the side of the chain. For me, at least, it makes a stitch that looks a bit more like a normal tr (US dc).

    Newbie crocheter here. I had to cringe when she said the stitch we skip....um...I haven't been skipping that one. 🥴

    • @Triple_count
      @Triple_count 3 месяца назад +3

      Right! I have never skipped that stitch. Do your chain and crochet into the first stitch.
      Looks like skipping it is the norm for a lot of people 🤷‍♀️

      This 'trick' is typically used for US double crochet or higher stitches bc it gives straight and ''closed' edges. Depends on the pattern, but if u don't skip the first stitch in the pattern, this is likely not a good thing to implement. Hope that helps!
