I have watched countless tutorials on this stitch and have been so confused where to put the next stitch. You pointing out where the chain is made, made all the difference for me.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Stacy, we're so happy to hear you found our tutorial helpful! Thank you for watching 😊

[@OzLioness]

I have been crocheting longer than you've been alive LOL (51 years! My Nanna taught me when I was 7 :-) ) .... and I NEVER knew these *hacks*! If I wanted a "chain stitch " on top AND bottom, the only way I knew was to work into the middle of the bottom of the chain. So I thank you for showing me a MUCH FASTER, easier way! I sincerely appreciate it.

[@JaydaInStitches]

That's one of the things I love about crochet - there is always something new to learn!

[@Tobie44]

I've watched others trying to explain this method and just didn't get it. The way you explain it...I get it! Thank you!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Tobie, we're happy we could help!

[@Junyvee05]

Jayda,I want to thank you, I usually only watch crystal on bag o day, but I started watching you about 8 months ago as well. I have learned so much . I'm still having problems trying to learn how to do magic ring and a few others steps but I'll get there because I keep watching yours and crystals tutorials and lessons. So thank you, you do so much for everyone with these lessons. Right now in my life you do not know how important that is ,you don't know how important it is that I learn , that I have a better place for my mind to go. So thank you. So very much!

[@Junyvee05]

@@KathyDouglass never thought of it that way. I will keep trying
Thank you

Hi Juny! We're happy we could help you on your crochet journey :)

[@wendyworley8249]

You make this so plain and simple! Best tutorial on this I have seen! TY💕

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Wendy! Thank you for watching 😊

[@sharonkerry6187]

I have watched several different tutorials on this and yours is the only one that I did that looked correct. tyvm for all of your tutorials.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Sharon :)

[@susankraft77]

Jayda, I've watched several tutorials on how to make these and have never been able to figure it out. I watched yours and, wa-la! I can now make a dc foundation row. WooHoo! Thanks! Blessings all!!!! 💜💜

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Susan, that's great! We're happy we could help :)

[@Purpleiris444]

This is exactly what I needed to learn. So well explained. Right now I'm pulling my hair out because I had to rip out my chain stitches twice. The yarn is thin and the chain is hard to count. But this sounds like my solution.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Marlene, it's a handy little short cut! Thank you for watching 😊

[@kayoertner1540]

Thank you so much. I have done this before but you explain it so much better than anyone else.
I now can not only do it I understand it. You are the bomb!!!!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kay, we're happy to be helpful! Thank you for watching :)

[@marjol44]

Thank you, this is the best tutorial on how to make this stitch, have been avoiding it, great.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you so much Mary Jo :)

[@CrochetEveryDayWithJudy]

So the fdnsc and fdnhdc were much easier than this, but once again, Jayda, you have explained it so even I can understand it! lol! Thank you so much for your clear instructions! By the way, I just noticed that this video came out on my birthday last year! Cool birthday present - thanks! lol!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Judy, we're so glad it was helpful! (and Happy Belated birthday!)

[@susied6383]

Another clear demonstration. Thanks Jayda.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Susie!

[@annissageorge3300]

❤ thank you so much for all the information! Five years of crocheting on my own self taught through TH-cam videos and I have never understood why Hook goes where it does and the yarn and everything. Less than two minutes of one of your videos, and I understand everything.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Wonderful! We're so happy to hear that 😊 Thank you for watching!

[@sandramika6710]

I've always just did my chain and then went back and did the double crochet because it wasn't very clear on how to do this, but I finally get it. You made it clear and showed how easy it is to do the foundation row, thank you !

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! We're so happy we could help :)

[@christinacyrus3824]

Thank you! I actually understood that. I am an extreme beginner so I will be practicing this tonight. Retired and chose this as a hobby.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Christina!

Hi Mary! Thank you so much for saying that, we appreciate it!

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Great tutorial! Thank you

[@sutownsend-kasmiskie3091]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been crocheting for over 50 years but over the last year I have been having problems reading patterns and trying out new stitches.
You explained the double crochet foundation chain so clearly. I tried to learn from other tutorials but for one reason or another I failed. 😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Su! We're so happy we could help :)

[@Claudia-xs1fl]

Glad it helped! Thank you for watching Tony!

[@cynthiaclark875]

That was brilliant! And just in time because I am about to do a project that requires a foundation chain.

[@ambercole3589]

OMG I'm in love with this foundation row it makes the edge of the project look so much neater

[@JaydaInStitches]

HI Amber, and it's a quick little shortcut - win win!

[@elianamiller2666]

@Jayda InStitches I am going to start my Crocheting now with the foundation row technique. THE LORD will bless you both for being such a blessing for, to others. THE LORD bless you both so immensely in, of every part of your life of its entire aspects of them.

HI Christina! We're happy to be helpful :)

[@christinahutchison3967]

Jayda InStitches could you suggest some stitches for extreme chunky yarn that use like a 25mm hook

[@RockyRacoon123]

Hi Jada! I love love love the no chain foundation rows! Especially when a project call for a looong chain row. Seems I always manage to get my chains twisted 😜.

[@JaydaInStitches]

It's a great shortcut!!

[@sutownsend-kasmiskie3091]

Thank you! I understood your instruction! 😀

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're so glad it helped!

[@abbysciuto39]

Thank you so much Jayda! I'm using this stitch for the headbands I make for my customers. The dcf row is fantastic for the headbands because instead of having a chain row that restricts the stretch ability, it stretches so nicely. Thank you so much for being such a great teacher of the craft!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Stretchy and a super short cut! Thank you for watching Abby :)

[@RockyRacoon123]

Carolyn Smith Jada has videos for both. ☺️

[@jessicarabbit1164]

Hi! Thank you for doing these videos! I don't know if its possible, but if it is, could you do a video on how to make a ripple foundation row using this method. 😊💜

[@JaydaInStitches]

oooh, sounds good! Thank you for the suggestion Jessica :)

[@petracreasy2543]

Jayda, would you ever use 2 flattened (by use) pillow forms to stuff a "new" pillow? Or would you open up the flattened pillows and get the stuffing out to fill a new pillow? I want to be able to use up some of those old pillows I have laying around

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Petra, I usually use up the stuffing from inside older pillows (wash and dry if it needs it) but using 2 'flattened' pillow forms is a good idea too!

[@DebiTurner]

In my wishes.. i wish there was a demo for a Herringbone half-double and a Herringbone double crochet... Jayda.... hun... sweetie... Pleaseeeeee

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Debi, Thank you for the suggestions!

And.. because I'm old, i forgot to mention that i need the chainless foundation version, lol
