So happy to have discovered Hopeful Honey...after watching many different crochet teachers videos i finally decided Hopeful Honey to be the clearest with instructing new beginners!!!
I started out by accidentally watching uk videos. I wasn’t aware until tonight when I went back to finish what I started several weeks ago. I was doing an American style single. But uk double. So I kept messing up. My muscle memory did not recall the extra loop I was doing tonight. I backed up and watched old videos. And found out why I was not getting equal sides. The uk version of tutorials I watched did not make clear to chain stitch one then turn. So say When you start with 11 at the foundation and turn up actually end up with 10. At the end of the second and so forth u have to chain stitch one. (Just basically an extra single loop.) THEN turn your work and go into the SECOND FROM THE HOOK
Excellent reminder of stitch. On occasion I can’t recall the double vs half double stitch. The quality of that yarn made me cringe. Unraveling as you crocheted. Never a good sign and indicative of a cheap brand. Better to buy a quality brand on sale, then to buy a cheap brand that will have issues and or fall apart down the road. Not to mention issues with more complicated stitches dropping strands leaning the end product looking shabby, unless that’s the look you are going for.

Thank you, your explanations are perfectly clear. The best explanations I have seen by far.
Love your voice ,,,the way you explain its too good 😌
If when I turn for the next row of double crochet if I don't go into the first whole then each of my rows loose a stitch. Why?
Me, too
