Fabulously smooth edges! Thank you very much.
This was always a problem for me visually; I thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks so much for this helpful video!
This is my all time favorite video along with alternate the turning stitch.
First it makes edges so straight and second I never have a hard time finding where to put my last stitch!
It really has made my crouching much less stressful!
Great technique !
I am a beginner and I never liked those noticable bumps at the end of my rows. I am so excited for this technique you've shared. THANK YOU!!💕🧶
My goodness 😮 I’ve been looking at all teaching beginners channels and I love you❤ also the fact that you started right from the beginning was very helpful too!! Others have crochet few rows and … honestly!!!
This extra changing would also give me extra stitches. I’ll start with 10 and few rows later I’ll 12 or even less at one end!!!
I’m so grateful for teachers like yourself🙏🤗💯🌹
Wishing I had learned this before my current project but this is beneficial for future projects...thank you❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Revolutionised my single crochet edging! Thank you
Its attention to detail, and wrll worth it
thank u for sharing how to make an easy turning chain, its helpfull tips for me as a beginner.
Yes. Helpful. Thanks for posting.
WOW! After just a few rows to try it out... what a difference! I don't understand why the "chain one" before turning your work ever became the norm. This looks so much neater! THANK YOU!
Thanks..
Such a beautiful color of wool/yarn
Thanks
Thanks for the tip! Would love to see a video for the half double crochet.
I was taught to chain 2 for the hdc, so are you saying I should not chain at all, or to chain just 1? I was also taught that the turning chain counts as a stitch for the hdc (unlike for sc). Is that still true if there's no turning chain?
If you count the turning chain as the HDC, you won't get the bumpy ridge.
thank you, perfectly explained!
Hallelujah.... thank you!
Thnk you very much
Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot.
Thanks I appreciate your video. I will give it a try.
Yay! So glad! I have a newer version of this video you might want to check out too
Haha! I've been doing that since I was a kid simply because I thought it made better sense! I didn't like that holey business at the end of a row -- especially when it comes to double crochet. I chained two and call it a turn, going about my business.
Yay! So glad it helped
Thank you.
im making a single crochet Queen size blanket ni was adding the one stitch at edge n noticed that it wasnt smooth r straight i will undo my blanket bcuz i loke it to look good so that person will refer me to someone else
thank u
Thank you so much for this video! I just could not get the hang of crocheting with the Turning Stitch. I never understood it. This video is so much easier and now I'm crocheting scarves with ease. Can I do this with double Stitch and other stitches also?
Glad you loved it. Here is more info (different from sc) for DC: www.nickishomemadecrafts.com/alternative-turning-chain/
Thanks for sharing your tip. I like the crochet hook you use. Please tell me the brand name and where it can be purchased.
I have NEVER needed the bumps at the end of a row to find the last stitch!
Crocheting a border will conceal those bumps as will stitching the pieces together.
How can I make straight edges for double crochet?
Hello. I want to ask you pls show how can i crochet border for this. I dunno how to do at corner
Maybe soon
How do you change colors?
And please, is there a video with the solution for double crochet?! I cound not find it... :-(
Yes: How to Crochet the Alternative Turning Chain - for Double Crochet, Treble Crochet & Taller
7:25 hi, do you have a video incorporating chainless foundation for half Dc (Us) with straight sides. I am struggling with the first row. Many thanks.
That’s exactly how I do my straight seams I don’t chain one because as you said it leaves a bump so for sc and hdc this is what I do. However I’m still working out what is the best for a dc haven’t found one I like yet
You explained it very well,thank you for sharing...!!!
I like this method. Gives a great result. Now I will restart my baby blanket which I have just finished pulling out because I did not like the bumpy sides. Thanks from sunny Queensland.
I wish I came across your video before making a blanket. I've just started. Bummer 😔
Does that not throw your stitch count off?
That's what I was wondering, too.
no you still just create one stitch
I'm using chunky yarn and the bumbs are obvious. So, to make it look neat I would probably have to do a border.
Thank you for this video! I am going to try this on the next scarf I make
I have a very hard time getting “straight” edges so I just go with my scalloped edges, 😊
Same here
Please, can this be done with a dbl or trpl stitch and a half dbl? Thank you
Does this work the same when you're doing back loop only single crochet?
How I wish there were an answer here. Did you figure out out?
Why do we even get taught to chain one or two crochets to turn to begin with?
Thank you! I'm a beginner. I have lost count of how many times I ripped out my first project because the edges look so awful.
I've been working on a mat for a homeless person, made out of plastic bag strips. I have made almost the whole thing and it's almost six feet long. My problem is it is VERY uneven along the edge to the point where part of it looks like a waist. There is a large indententation. I haven been doing the turning edges properly. But I just can't bear to rip the whole thing out. Is there a way I can crochet an edge along the sides where it is indented? It's rows of different colors, so I would like to take that into consideration. If you need my e-mail address, please send me a message here. Thanks so much. I'm almost embarrassed to show it to anyone!
i’m late, but i did this on a blanket once and just threw in some slip stitches on the “waist” part and called it a day…. not the cleanest looking thing, but it worked for the most part
Thank you. I’m just learning and I think this will help my practice swatch look better 😊
Hello, I really liked the way you teach, the step by step is very good. I am following the content of your channel and giving you the deserved support. I am very grateful. A fraternal hug from Brazil.
Your turning edge was better than the bumpy edge
No hay traductora!!!
So simple and effective! Thanks so much 😍
You are so welcome
Hi Nicki, I'd really like to know where I can buy a crochet hook like the one you're using in this video.
I like zigzag edges it’s still straight and gives the edge definition straight edge is good too
I, too, like the zigzag. It easier to put edgings around if needed.
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
Some people don't know how to do it not that they don't care lol that's me lol it's why my edge are crazy. So here I am! Thankyou!🥰
Wow!! I love it! Thank you!
So in a double or half-double crochet can you just do one chain and get the same effect?
I thought you were going to show HDC
I do it exactly the same way. Feel free to make the last loop a bit longer ❤️
@@NickisHomemadeCrafts thanks nicki!
I've tried to make straight edges for yrs🙄💪😍
Does this work for BLO too?
Can you talk so much about the bump on this end that end is confusing
How absolutely useful ...wish I had known this years ago!! Thankyou!!
Hi, what's the name and maker of your nail polish? Absolutely gorgeous color♥️. Thanks you☺️
Thank you Nicki!! I'm a beginner at crocheting and your video is very helpful!!
So glad it was helpful 😀
@@NickisHomemadeCrafts ever try knitting
this was av lot of help yhank you
You're so awesome. Thank you for this! 💜
Very helpful, thank you 💖💖💖
Thank you, Nicki! This tutorial was very helpful. I'm a perfectionist, as well, which can make life a little more challenging sometimes (lol), but I really love how this simple step of not crocheting a turning chain eliminates the zig-zaggy edge on single and half-double crochet rows. I will be using this method from now on. Bravo! 👏👏
Thank you so much it looks so much better
this was a lot of help thank you. just checking my spell check it works just have to pay more attention/
Very clear instructions. Many thanks 😊
The video words on it cover the way u r Showing it
Thank you Nicki. Is this the same way for a 1/2 double (except for the extra loop)? How would a double go?
Yes 😀 for dc I use the alternative turning chain. Check my channel for the vidoe
Thank you so much it really helped me
THank you this video is helpful and explanatory
Very nicely explained thanks 😊
I'm planniing to make my first blanket using the lemon peel stitch where each row begins with a sc and ends with a dc. How would I incorporate this method of getting smooth edges on the dc side? How does it work in conjunction with your other video on straight edges?
Yes! I have more details here (with video): www.nickishomemadecrafts.com/alternative-turning-chain/
Very helpful. Clear instructions. Thank you!
I would love to see how you do the hdc please
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing!
I wonder why they don't teach these wonderful avoidance techniques in the Beginner [How To] Books?
I have an ebook with all of them. Need a link?
@@NickisHomemadeCrafts Yes'm, please! And thanxabunch, too!
So no chain one just do the sc in the first stitch? I never understand why people say they don’t do turning chains. Thank you because I never did understand what they were saying
what if I’m stitching in half double crochet
I also skip the chain
This makes so much more sense!
😊
Great advice! Thank you very much! Love from Argentina
So glad it was helpful
I tried it just now and I love your idea. Gracias
You’re welcome 😊
Are you Pennsylvania Dutch?
Very good ❤️🌹💐⭐️🤩
Awesome thank you so much yes it looks so much better. Do you have any idea how to get the herringbone & half herringbone sides straight A’s they are so wobbly when I do them
I saw a pattern, that she does a single crochet the first chain, then herringbone stitches in all the next rows, then a single crochet in the last row. I want to try it.. hope that helps!
Keeping it simple, can't you just say, don't do a turning chain?
your problem is
Problem??
Or do you like to gripe??
No, because she does that pulling the last stitch long thing at the turning point. If she didn't do that, the piece she's working on would get narrower with each new row of stitches
That was helpful thank you ❤
Thank you I have this problem
You’re so welcome
Q pena no se aprecia bien por las letras
Thank you🧚♀️🌼
