  • Crochet Straight Edges Double Crochet | Perfect Every time
    It's time for another crochet hack, tips & tricks. Are you tired of your crochet projects looking warped? Using a foundations turning chain will fix your problems. This stitch works great for double crochet stitches or bigger. Most people use chain 3 as their turning chain and the crochet project will come out looking "spacey". Another option is to chain 2 stitches and double crochet back into the same stitch. This might eliminate the gap, but unfortunately is will leave your crochet edges looking lumpy.
    With this technique, you will learn how to crochet straight edges perfectly every time.

I also appreciate your straight-to-the-point nature of the video, and the bright color of the yarn against the white background- that greatly helps us viewers see what you're showing us, even in low-res (I did up mine to mid-res. for even better viewing). Thank you so much.

  • @lifeofchasingdreams
    @lifeofchasingdreams Год назад

    The amazing thing about this method is when doing a border or finished edge you have two chain spaces to go into! Takes the guessing out of where to put them! Love it!

    This is absolutely GENIUS!! This will be especially good for making stuffed crochet items. I have always gone around the seams with a warning needle and yarn to 'close up' all the gaps but will no longer need to do this. THANK YOU!!!!
