I’ve been crocheting for decades now and just recently became aware of the chainless foundation method. I’ve tried learning it from various videos on RUclips but gave up as it just looked too confusing. Your video and explanation is so simple and so clear! After watching your video just a couple of times, I was able to complete a chainless foundation row and I’m so proud! LOL Thank you very, very much! 🙂
I remember watching this video when I was a beginner. I could not master this... I gave up so many times ... I loved watching it again and completing my scarf. It is so beautiful. TY for the tutorial.
I have been crocheting since a little girl, starting in the late 50's; I've looked at 1000s of patterns & videos in the last several years on the internet - and NEVER BEFORE seen the chainless foundation - AMAZING - and so much nicer looking and no awkward holes showing through! I made my own tutorial with screen shots from the video so I can remember it! I have considerable hearing loss but immediately found your voice very pleasant and easy to understand - yes, perhaps a tone of patience, as well as not rushed - a *DELIGHTFUL* teacher!! I will be checking out more of your videos & subscribing to your posts. THANKS so much for sharing with all of us
I used this pattern last year when I was refreshing my skills with crochet. My Michigan State and U of M scarves turned out amazing. I am back this year to make several more and wanted to thank you for sharing.
so using this as a guide to make my husbands winter scarf for this year. i'm pretty much a beginner and have made purses and other simple things so far, i knew i wanted to make scarfs for my husband, daughter and myself this winter but didnt know how, until now. i love this technique and cant wait to try it out. thank you!
It's a chainless foundation. I didn't do a traditional chain and then start a row of stitches, I incorporated the stitches into the chain as I went along. Makes for a neater edge and a sturdier base for the fringe added later.
Awesome!! Glad to hear you're giving this pattern a try! I don't have any other crochet videos, I wanted to try this one out so I may do some more in the future seeing the response to this one. And I've been crocheting since I was 7 or 8...many, MANY projects under my belt, LOL!!
I'm a newbie at crocheting. Just watching your video makes me want to try this! You go so slow and explain everything so good. Thank you so much for your patience in your videos and explaining things in great detail for those of us that want to learn! Great job !
I don't do a lot of thread crochet but have done some potholders and doilies for gifts. Interesting that you should bring up the edgings because I have a bag full of crocheted trim from my roommates grandmother that was done in the 20's. Many yards of it! Looking at them, the intricate patterns and some of them done with not much more than sewing thread...the time it must've taken her to do them. It was quite the art back then that not many continue to do.
Thanks Judy! I really dislike the long chain too and I always chain so much looser than I crochet so the chain-less foundation does me good. You can do it with sc's too. Give it a shot...I'm sure you'll like it!
I hope you give it a shot! There are so many beginner tutorials and how to's here on YT that can walk you through the process if you've never picked up a hook before.
I have such trouble reading patterns, but to see it visually increases my skill level. This pattern is just exquisite. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. I can't wait to work on it. You are very much appreciated.
I love this scarf and this stitch. I am brand new to crochet but I would love to have a go at making this scarf, especially for my husband. This is definitely something worth working towards as I think it is a very beautiful scarf and perfect for a man.
Great scarf and video presentation. Love the chainless foundation and yours was the easiest to follow by far. Thanks for sharing. This is defiantly going on my favorites list.
I like the chainless foundation! This makes a great scarf for the winters here in Minnesota, Thanks so much. Hope you will do more, you are a very good teacher!
I looked all through your previous videos and didn't see any other crochet demos. I'm on row 6 now (on this piece I'm playing around with) and I simply love this pattern!! I can hardly wait to go pick up some new yarn tomorrow to begin this beautiful project. I see one for myself and a couple for gifts for the holidays. This pattern is a definite keeper. I just know you have a few more to share, those stitches are too perfect and even for a casual crocheter....NICE!!
I really like this pattern :) I'm pretty much a beginner, just practiced stitching a bit on a one-inch square before attempting this. You did a great job explaining the steps, and the fringe looks sooo easy to do, but its probably the best looking fringe of a lot of the crochet patterns I've found. Thanks! I'm sure my fiance will absolutely love it!
You can buy it on HL's website or even ebay. The former often has 'sales' that include free shipping. I prefer it when using acrylic because it's soft and doesn't pill nearly as bad as Red Heart but any quality acrylic will work just as well.
Crouton Crackerjacks thank you much for the tutorial ... I've done many hats with a similar stitch for the brims but had never seen a scarf like your pattern ... well done and the use of the chain-less foundation definitely a great tip !!!
I see this is from 2012 so Im about 5 or 6 yrs late on this comment. However, this was a great tutorial. I finished my first scarf just from watching your video. This was great. Wish I was able to post a pic of how mine came out. The only thing was the beginning chains. That confused me so I did it the only way I knew how. It still came out fantastic. Thanks.
This was only my second project that I attempted after learning basic stitches and it turned out great! I did have to start over once but once I got the hang of the stitches it was so easy! Thank you for a tutorial that is easy to understand for beginners and produces something so beautiful!
Found you today looking for a men's scarf pattern and I am so happy ! I have never understood the "chainless foundation" and you explain it so easily. Thank you so much for spending your time to help us out here! :)
i've always loved the waffle stitch - thank you for inspiring others to crochet!! this is a WONDERFUL stitch for lap afghans, too! i donate to the local cancer center & guys are sometimes left out. they really like this stitch as a lap afghan and/or scarf. thanks, again! ;)
They do a little bit over time and after a few washings. A few ways to prevent it: when they get too split for your liking, clip the ends off as there is plenty of fringe there or to prevent it in the first place, singe the ends with a lighter or over a candle flame just enough to seal the end of the yarn. Time consuming but no fraying whatsoever. Doing it that way does make the ends sort of rough feeling though and I personally like the fraying so I leave it.
Yess!!!! I just bought a HUGE skein of yarn to make a man's scarf for a X-Mas gift...and this is the pattern I'm going to try. This will only be my second scarf ever, but it doesn't look too difficult. I will probably have to replay this vid a dozen times, but I'm gonna give it a try. Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany...and wish me luck:-)
This was a wonderful tutorial and I really appreciate it! I did this scarf in alternating orange and black stripes to show support for our local High School football team on these cold Friday nights and it's a very warm scarf. Your directions were very easy to follow and I love the results! Thank you :)
Very nice tutorial! I am doing this right now and this is my first time to make a chain-less foundation. So I am on Row 5 now and it's looking great! Great gift idea for men!:) Very clear voice and instructions. Easy to follow. Thank you Sir!:)
This is such a beautiful scarf! I'm really enjoying working on it! I found this one night when I couldn't sleep and I know this one is a keeper! Thank you so much!!
I am so glad I saw your scarf/stitch pattern. Very cool! I am going to use "Night Watch" I love this yarn......I have been looking for new unique pattern....YOU WON !!! thank you for taking the time to publish this video.....can't wait to do....
I used your video to make the very first crochet project I ever made and I made a green and gray scarf for my husband. Since I was a newbie at crocheting it didn't turn out as beautiful as yours but he loves that scarf anyways lol! Thank you so much for the very easy to follow video!!! :D
I am going to try this pattern and I love the tip on how to start the scarf without creating the chain then crocheting in the stitches. I too hate the look of the first row in my scarfs because of the chain stitch. Plus I have never really added fringe but this time I think I might because I like your method of calculating, cutting and applying the fringe. Lastly I think this will be a warm and wonderful scarf to my wardrobe. Thanks
Hey Mr. Crouton, you are a jack of all trades and the master of many! I followed you with your homemade Carmel pecan cinnamon rolls (which I hate to toot my on horn but they came out fantastic). I will be making this scarf for my Dad. This scarf is beautiful. Do you have a mans hat tutorial? Keep up the awesome work.
I just knew you had to have been crocheting for a good while!! I love thread crochet too. Have made many pillowcase edgings, which I really love because of my maternal grandmother's influence. She always had the big chenille bedspreads with the beautiful embroidered and crocheted edges on her pillowcases. I loved them!! Kudos to you! Will post a response when I get it made.
working on my first crochet waffle stitch scarf and on day 2 of project and will be crocheting 2 more after the first one is all said and done pics 2 come soon:] you are a great teacher
so i watched your video late last night i couldnt wait to try it!!.. i am now halfway through first scarf and it is amazing i am in no way an experienced crocheter i have alot of trouble reading and following patterns, but your instructions are so good i am flying through this , after the third row the stitches are so onbvious it coukd pretty much crochet itself! thank you so much for your easy to follow patterns!
I find it easier to count the 'bars' or body of the stitches instead of the chains on top as sometimes I accidentally count the beginning chain twice. Either way, if your count is off, you will notice it in the pattern as the fpdc won't line up correctly with the stitches below. Hope that helps!
As for learning how to crochet, grab a hook and some yarn and watch videos here on YT! It isn't hard at all...simply pulling loops through other loops. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy.
Make sure that you get in that last dc in the row. The beginning ch2 of every round counts as the first dc so in your case, row A should have 15 fpdcs in the row with 1 dc at each end and row B should have 14 fpdcs with 2 dc's on each end.
This is wonderful! I've been making so many beanies for my family lately heading into winter, this will give me something else to focus on. So easy and clear. The chain-less foundation is great, I hadn't come across that before! Keep up the wonderful crocheting! Thank you
It didn't take long to master casting on in this way ... do try it, it gives a much neater and more elastic first row. AND I got the other stuff too, I felt lost but soon saw the pattern develop. I like your style of teaching. Brilliant! Thank you!
Ive used ur pattern several times bc l love it,it. U need to make more crochet videos Crouton Jack. Ur so easy to follow. I do a lot of pot gardening. But, crocheting is my second hobby. And my brothers have loved this scarf. Happy crocheting. Lily fom Tx.
Thank you so much! Your instructions were so easy to understand. I do not know if i would be able to follow a pattern. I learned to crochet when I was 8 and never read a pattern. This was very helpful.
That's beautiful, I really like the yarn you chose. Hopefully one day I'll have the patience to sit down and learn how to do this. You really are a man of many talents!
Excellent tutorial! Very clear explanation of the chainless foundation too. My compliments. The shawl looks great anyway, but IMHO the waffel stitch is better suited for a one colour yarn though. To all the hate posters: grow up! Leave this man alone. Since ancient times, crotcheting and knitting have been male occupations, like all craftmenships; look it up in your bible.
Omg thankkk you i been looking for a waffle stitch i could understand. And this is it!!! I love how it looks and im currently using ot for a scarf for my boyfriend! I hope it turn out nice and warm
Almost finished with row one now...I love this simple stitch!! Just practicing now, will pick up new yarn tomorrow at Hobby Lobby. Your work is just beautiful and exquisite!! 5 stars for you!! Can't wait to get started in earnest. Thanks for sharing.
I've seen this stitch before, but can't remember where? I think most people create stitches only to find that someone else has made it before. It is a lovely stitch, and I will make a scarf with it. Thanks for reminding me of it!
Absolutely blew my mind with that chainless foundation!
Thank you so much you are a wonderful instructor. I'm crocheting scarves for the homeless and I will be using this stitch, it's beautiful.
This is a tutorial I found myself revisiting over and over again. Thank you for not only teaching me the scarf but also the chainless foundation. 😁
I’ve been crocheting for decades now and just recently became aware of the chainless foundation method.

I also have never heard of this foundation chain. Great video. Thanks
You, sir, are magnificent! I am an experienced crocheter of 40 years, but I look forward to making this scarf!

Love the chainless bottom. I didn't even know how easy it would be and how much better my projects would look. Thanks so much for the tip!
I'm a newbie at crocheting. Just watching your video makes me want to try this! You go so slow and explain everything so good. Thank you so much for your patience in your videos and explaining things in great detail for those of us that want to learn! Great job !
The way you hook into the ch2 at the end is great! Have not seen anyone do it that way, sure has made it easier. Thank you!
How beautiful!!! 😍❄️

Thanks Judy! I really dislike the long chain too and I always chain so much looser than I crochet so the chain-less foundation does me good. You can do it with sc's too. Give it a shot...I'm sure you'll like it!
It is an extremely soft yarn. Almost like silk. Not at all your typical scratchy acrylic. You'll enjoy it!
Thanks! Hope you have fun with it and your son enjoys!
I hope you give it a shot! There are so many beginner tutorials and how to's here on YT that can walk you through the process if you've never picked up a hook before.
I 'm using this stitch right now with James C. Brett Woodlander DK yarn. The outcome is outstanding! Thank you so much for the great tutorial
Very beautiful, I'll try this amazing scarf
A man of many talents! I've only ever seen your cooking videos. Now I see you crochet!? Awesome!
I have such trouble reading patterns, but to see it visually increases my skill level. This pattern is just exquisite. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. I can't wait to work on it. You are very much appreciated.
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy making it!

Always enjoy watching your tutorials. Very clear instructions for an intermediate crochet diva like me. But not so basic that I wanted to fast fwd
Thank you for being so precise, I love your math count it really helps. You are a great instructor. I really enjoyed it.
I like the chainless foundation! This makes a great scarf for the winters here in Minnesota, Thanks so much. Hope you will do more, you are a very good teacher!

I was also searching for a mens scarf pattern😄
Great men's scarf, AND best description of the chain-less foundation row I have come across! Thank you
i've always loved the waffle stitch - thank you for inspiring others to crochet!!
this is a WONDERFUL stitch for lap afghans, too! i donate to the local cancer center & guys are sometimes left out.
they really like this stitch as a lap afghan and/or scarf. thanks, again! ;)
you are such a good teacher and that chain less foundation is brilliant thank you I never know when making gifts to add the fringe or not
I didnt know men crochet! This is so cool!
They do a little bit over time and after a few washings.

That’s exactly what I want. A thick stitch. Thank you so much!👍👍👍
Clear voice, I like how your camera is directly on your work. Great job sir! Thank you, the scarf is lovely.
no matter how many times you crochet you always learn new ways of doing things thank you love watching your shows ANTOINETTE from Malta
Very nice tutorial! I am doing this right now and this is my first time to make a chain-less foundation. So I am on Row 5 now and it's looking great! Great gift idea for men!:) Very clear voice and instructions. Easy to follow. Thank you Sir!:)
You are amazing, in my culture men don't do stuff like this. I am a beginner and you have made it easy enough for me to do☺️ Thank you Sir.
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
Of course. If that's how you prefer to start a project, then by all means do it that way.
This is such a beautiful scarf! I'm really enjoying working on it! I found this one night when I couldn't sleep and I know this one is a keeper! Thank you so much!!
I am so glad I saw your scarf/stitch pattern. Very cool! I am going to use "Night Watch" I love this yarn......I have been looking for new unique pattern....YOU WON !!! thank you for taking the time to publish this video.....can't wait to do....

Wow! Love the color, love the scarf, love that you crochet and cook! You're awesome!
Very nice thanks 👍👍👍
Make sure that you get in that last dc in the row. The beginning ch2 of every round counts as the first dc so in your case, row A should have 15 fpdcs in the row with 1 dc at each end and row B should have 14 fpdcs with 2 dc's on each end.
Clever, I like that chainless start, will make a scarf for a dear friend of mine. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy!
Love the idea of doing projects without doing a chain first. I love it.
This is wonderful! I've been making so many beanies for my family lately heading into winter, this will give me something else to focus on. So easy and clear. The chain-less foundation is great, I hadn't come across that before! Keep up the wonderful crocheting! Thank you

This is so nice and thick. Thanks for explaining so well.
You're very welcome. I like it because it's thick and plush but not bulky and heavy. Perfect to keep warm!
Very nice 👍 God bless you
OMGosh dude you ROCK!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this scarf! Very clear and concise instructions! Can't wait to make this for my male BFF!! HIGH✋🏾
Thank u for the patience of showing each step. Very detail my next project will be a scarf just different color ;-)
i love your soothing voice. nice to listen to a tutorial with a pleasing voice. thx.
I like your explanation of the chainless foundation stitch. Thanks for sharing! Keep those videos coming:)
Wow, you are a jack of all trades!!!! Love your channel!!!!
Ive used ur pattern several times bc l love it,it. U need to make more crochet videos Crouton Jack. Ur so easy to follow. I do a lot of pot gardening. But, crocheting is my second hobby. And my brothers have loved this scarf. Happy crocheting. Lily fom Tx.
Thank you so much! Your instructions were so easy to understand. I do not know if i would be able to follow a pattern. I learned to crochet when I was 8 and never read a pattern. This was very helpful.
35 total. 34 will be double crochets and the last one will be the ch2.
Wow I have never seen a foundation chain like that I think it's awesome im going to try that in all my projects thank you.
Just started making one with variegated yarn...Its simply awesome...Thank you so much
Love this scarf!!! Very easy to make!! You are a great instructor!!!
Each skein was 5oz or 142 grams and was 252 yards or 230 meters in length. And I have a few more projects in the works so stay tuned!
That's beautiful, I really like the yarn you chose. Hopefully one day I'll have the patience to sit down and learn how to do this. You really are a man of many talents!
Excellent tutorial!
Very clear explanation of the chainless foundation too.
My compliments.
The shawl looks great anyway, but IMHO the waffel stitch is better suited for a one colour yarn though.
To all the hate posters: grow up!
Leave this man alone.
Since ancient times, crotcheting and knitting have been male occupations, like all craftmenships; look it up in your bible.
Omg thankkk you i been looking for a waffle stitch i could understand. And this is it!!! I love how it looks and im currently using ot for a scarf for my boyfriend! I hope it turn out nice and warm
Almost finished with row one now...I love this simple stitch!! Just practicing now, will pick up new yarn tomorrow at Hobby Lobby. Your work is just beautiful and exquisite!! 5 stars for you!! Can't wait to get started in earnest. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Love the pattern and it looks very nice and warm! Going to make some for Christmas gifts. Thank you for sharing!!
You'll get the hang of the pattern quite quick and it'll whip up in a breeze. Good luck!!
I've seen this stitch before, but can't remember where? I think most people create stitches only to find that someone else has made it before. It is a lovely stitch, and I will make a scarf with it. Thanks for reminding me of it!
This pattern is so cool. I can’t wait to try it. Going to make my father a scarf fur Christmas. Now I’ve found my stitch! Awesome. 😎
