Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I'm totally self taught by watching YT videos, and have really struggled with making this stitch. Your video is nice and slow for someone like me. I love how you show up close WHERE to put the stitches! That's the hardest part of this journey. Have a very Merry Christmas.
I am so glad to hear that this helped! I learned by watching YT as well and struggled in the same way! That's why I wanted to make videos that would have helped me! Merry Christmas to you as well! :)
Thank you for a fantastic tutorial. I had high hopes when I saw you are a teacher in a school setting; I'm glad you put that front and center because it is what prompted me to try your instructions. There are so many tutorials out there, and it can be challenging to pick just the right ones. Thank you so much; your demonstration and details for how to think about the technique are so very helpful.
@@nancybarricklo2079 I am so glad it helped! Happy crocheting!
You are absolutely the best person to teach these classes! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us! You are very good at teaching ❤
You are so sweet! Thank you! :)
You are the absolute best teacher ever with your tutorials
Oh thank you so much!!!! You made my day! 😀
Yes second video about this that I looked at- the other left me confused- yours definitely better.
I am glad it was helpful for you! That is my goal for my videos!!! Happy crocheting! 🙂
finally clear explanation
I am so glad it helped you!!!
I have been trying to do this stitch for several days. Kept trying different videos until I found yours. BINGO..It was a breeze. You are slow and complete in your directions. Thank You
I am SO glad it helped you! This is my goal with my videos! :)
Thank you-after countless attempts, I can finally do this.
I am so glad it helped you!!! That is the goal of my videos! 🙂
The clearest video on this, and I’ve tried others with no success. Thank you!
Yay! Thank you for the kind words! :)
Ok, so I’ve looked at a couple of these, yours was the easiest to follow, the best tip you gave for me, (don’t pull to tight), I’m a beginner, Thank you
I'm SO glad it helped you! That's the goal of my videos! :)
THANK YOU! I watched 3 other videos and couldn't get it. Your instructions are so clear.
I am so glad it helped!!!! Happy crocheting! :)
I have watched a dozen videos on this stitch and tried it so many times and finally...you explained it so it makes sense. THANK YOU! :)
I'm so glad it was helpful! :)
Love the close up view! I have a hard time remembering which stitch to go into, but once I do, I think to myself, “connect for the foundation chain, then do the stitch.”
Thanks for the kind feedback! I had a hard time with this stitch at first, but now I love it! :)
Loved the pace of this video. Just what I needed as a biginner.
I am so glad it was helpful to you! :)
I watched two other instruction videos on foundation HDC before this one, and this is the first that really showed how to do it in a way that I could follow. Thank you for the pace and detail!
Thank you for the kind feedback! I am so glad it helped you. :)
Love this, I have not been able to get the hang of this until I watched your video. The counting is key. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Happy crocheting! :)
Thank you so much! I crocheted along with you, and the pacing was just perfect. I am finally confident that I know that I am doing this correctly. The yarn that you are using makes your stitches very clear and easy to see.
I am so glad it helped you!!! Happy crocheting! :)
Awesome video with very clear instructions. I hate chains and this is so much faster and polished. Please do some crochet alongs so we can follow and complete a project. ❤Thank you!
Aww! Thank you so much for your kind words! I will work on a crochet along! :)
Thank you for this!! This is the only tutorial that explained it so clearly. I love how you tell us how it forms a half double crochet too!
I am so glad it helped you! :)
Thank you so much!!! You explained this stitch in an understandable way (you are such a good teacher!). I don't feel as intimated by this stitch now :)
I am glad you are feeling confident with this stitch now! That is the whole goal of my videos! Happy crocheting! :)
Thank you so much for such a clear and easy to follow tutorial. I have watched this technique on various channels and thought I would never understand it. After watching yours I finally think I've got it! I have now subscribed and will no doubt learn so much more from your other videos.
You're welcome! this is my goal with my videos! Thanks for the kind feedback! :)
I watched four different tutorials about this. I am an intermediate crocheter but I was finding this extremely confusing. Your tutorial was the first one that made sense. Thank you!
I am so glad it was helpful to you! That is the goal of my videos! Happy crocheting! :)
Great job. I am self taught , but explanation is so clear. Wished I had seen your video first. Anxious to see more of your instructional videos👏🏻🥰
Thank you SO much for the kind words! Happy crocheting! :)
Excellent instruction, thank you!
You're welcome! Happy crocheting! :)
The tip about the arch great advice!
I'm glad it was helpful! It was a game changer for me! :)
Aloha from Hawaii 🌺 I just discovered your channel and am so thrilled that I have! You do an AH-MAZING job at explaining and teaching each step. Very detailed instructions at a perfect pace for new and advanced learners. I really, really appreciate it! I can't wait to learn more about crocheting from you! Blessings to you and yours 🤗
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I really appreciate it! :)
Thank you for being close enough to see what you're doing replay it anyone if you can't see it or understand watch it multiple times until you get the hang of it
That was my goal. I really want people to be able to see where my hook is going and what I am doing! Happy crocheting! :)
Thanks for the video it's really easy to follow
I am so glad to hear that! Thank you! :)
Beautiful neat stitch
I love using this stitch! :)
Thank you so much for this. I've been crocheting for 50 years, since I was a child. Still, I'd never heard of this stitch. The pattern I was using called for it and I couldn't make heads or tails of the directions. I really appreciate the slow careful tutorial.
I am SO glad it was helpful to you! Happy crocheting! :)
🤗@@hopecornerfarmcrochet
Very nice way to start ! Thanks ❤
I love using this when I can instead of a chain start!
You are an excellent teacher. Absolutely amazing, nice and slow with clear instruction. The camera work and positioning of your fingers makes it easy to follow and reduce confusion. The repetition drives home the information. Thank you
Aww! Thank you SO much! That is the goal of my videos! :)
@@hopecornerfarmcrochet . I hope you make a C2C tutorial and more stuff like amigurumi and graphgans.
@@thainab85 They are on my list! :)
@@hopecornerfarmcrochet well you just got a new subscriber. I can't wait.
@@thainab85 Awww! Thank you! :)
Excellent instructions and video. I just learned of this type of crocheted foundation row and can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing. =)
I appreciate the kind feedback! I love using the foundation stitches to start my crochet projects! Happy crocheting! :)
thank you!!
You're welcome! Happy Crocheting! :)
So cool,wish I new that sooner ❤️
I love this stitch! Have a wonderful day!
Wonderful
Thank you! :)
Excellent explanation! I recently retired after 25 years of teaching middle school FACS, which included hand and machine sewing, cooking, etc. I didn't teach it during the regular school year, but I did teach single crochet to make a scarf and hand embroidery or counted cross-stitch as part of a summer school enrichment class for about 10-ish years. I'm curious. Do you use your videos as your method of introducing the stitches? I started with demonstrating live under a document camera but progressed to videos when that technology became more readily available. In fact, all my students' sewing projects were self-paced with them watching the videos on their own or in twos & threes. I became primarily the coach because I was able to reteach or reinforce lessons one-to-one when students got stuck.
I do use my videos when teaching the kids how to crochet. I find that they pick up the information faster that way. I am there guiding them with any extra help that they need. I love that you taught FACS as well! There are not a lot of us out there! :)
I love your clear and close up demonstration. I have a couple of questions: 1) if you look at it vertically as you are progressing, the right side is the top and left is the bottom ... when you finish the number needed, your hook is at the top (right) and skein of yarn is left -- how do you transition to the next row? 2) is the 1st row that is automatically created the right side of the work? thank you!
When going to the next row, I usually chain one, and it is a slight flip of the work rather than the usual turn for other crochet rows. And yes, it is!
@@hopecornerfarmcrochet thank you 😊
@@rebeccagivens-bickerstaff9012 You're welcome! :)
The way you are teaching this stitch, I can understand, the others have been so fast you couldn't see what was going on
I am so glad it was helpful for you!!!
I had to finish your set of foundation chains by viewing the half double one. I believe Iunderstand the process😊
Another great video: Thank you.
But I do have a question on all foundation chains.
I frequently make doll clothing for my granddaughters; I can see that this would make a great neck. So, is there a process so one can join these chains to work in rounds?
There is a way to join them. I will post a video next week showing how to do that! :)
Great video. I’ve been crocheting a long time but still find it difficult to get mine neat. I also find it confusing where to start and end the 2nd row
If you check out my video, Fixing Foundation Crochet Problems, I address a lot of these issues. It took me a lot of practice to finally master the foundation stitches!
ruclips.net/video/oNBcnQ6tANA/видео.html
Thank you for your tutorial! It is so helpful. I notice that prior stiches keep getting tighter as I continue.. how can I stop this from happening?
This is pretty common with the foundation stitches. I show how to fix this issue in this video of mine. I hope it helps! :). ruclips.net/video/oNBcnQ6tANA/видео.html
This was a wonderful, clear demonstration of a HDC foundation chain. My question is this…my instructions were to chain a number stitches, then join with a SS and then continue the first row of HDC. How can I join this foundation chain so there are no gaps in the edges?
On Saturday I am actually going to post a video that shows just how to do this! It is a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to do it easily! :). Thanks for the kind feedback!
Excellent, thank you!!
Im fairly new to crochet and have learned what i know from watching videos...can you make the half double foundation chain or even the aingle crochet foundation chain and then treat it like the starting chain for a shell stitch? I made a baby blanket for a coworker using a shell stitch but didnt like how the foundation chains got kind of streteched out. After i put a border on it you couldnt really tell but i may not always want tot put a border on my projects.
You can as long as you have the correct number of stitches in your foundation chain. :)
Good video, but I can’t find one that tells you what to do after the foundation chain. Do you chain one and go in the second chain from the hook?😊
If I chain 1, I would chain 1, turn and go into the 1st stitch. With a half double crochet stitch (for the second row) you could alternately chain 2, turn, and then go into the second stitch. Either method works. Hope this helps! Happy crocheting! :)
Thank you. Each instructor I've watched always says "go through the two loops of the chain stitch formed. Then show the beautiful row of v's along the "bottom" of the row of stitches. I wish someone would actually compare the 'top' of the foundation chain to the 'bottom' of the chain and specify if the 'go through the two loops of the chain' is happening on the 'top' or 'bottom' of the foundation. I'm struggling trying to understand this foundation process. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.
I address a lot of common issues with all of the foundation chains in this video. Maybe that can help? Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/oNBcnQ6tANA/видео.html
Hiya, thank you for sharing this. With the first hdc does it count as just one stitch please, only when I look at the stitches it looks like it's created two.
It is only one stitch. It looks a little funny, but there is only one!
@@hopecornerfarmcrochet thank you so much
You're welcome! :)@@zovi3363
So hard to see how you are getting four on the first stitch 😢
If you are talking about the counting, it is 4 yarn overs total for the stitch. I yarn over 4 times to make this stitch. I hope this helps! :)
Can we use this method when the pattern calls for the first DC into 2nd or 3rd loop from the hook vs DC in every chain?
Are you talking about when you chain and then put the first stitches into the chain for the next row? If so yes! If it is a stitch that has you skip stitches I have used a foundation start for those too, I just have to pay close attention to stitch count and how many stitches I need for the next row of stitching. Hope this helps! :)
Sorry if im unclear. What i mean is once your required chain length is done and your first DC goes into the third chain from the hook vs the first space.
@@user-vf8lz4eb4d Yes. You could use this method for that. The foundation double crochet stitch would count as the chain start + the first row of DC. Hope that helps! :)
How do I count how many stitches I have done? I followed your instructions exactly but don’t understand which stitch starts at “1” - I need 183 of these.
At 2:47 in the video I am ready to go into the 1st stitch (it will be the one right next to the knot). At 4:33 I show the edge of this and you can see the V's of the stitches. Each V is one stitch for counting. I hope that helps! :)
might be a stupid question. So if a pattern asked to chain 101 followed by hdc, do i count this foundation chain as the first row and count 100 stitches? i hope my question makes sense
It does make sense. Yes, you would count this as a chain and first row, so you would Foundation Half Double Crochet 100 times.
@@hopecornerfarmcrochet thank you!! i’ve always avoided foundation chains because I never get where the hook goes! your video is so easy to follow
@@user-wc5tm4hw7g I am SO glad it helped you out! :)
With 8 ply what size hook are you using? Please
@@valmatthews9117 for this tutorial I am using a slightly bigger yarn than 8 ply so I used a J (6.0mm) hook. For 8 ply I’d lean towards a smaller hook like a H (5.0mm) or G (4.5mm).
@hopecornerfarmcrochet thanks. I have used this stitch and like it. Need more practice to avoid slight bumps.
Now to try the crochet into 3rd stitch...
@@valmatthews9117 practice makes perfect! When I am learning a new stitch I practice it a lot! Have a great day!
I wish fingers were not in the way and I could better see what was going on 😢
Sorry that it wasn’t what you were looking for. Best of luck!
