    I just wanted to say thank you. I came home from a doctor appointment several years ago, feeling encouraged and I went online and watched your video on how to crochet granny squares. You taught me to crochet and helped me donate more blankets for the homeless. Due to multiple sclerosis and arthritis I had not been able to knit like I once did. For some reason crocheting is easier on my hands.

      Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into them. I have found some relief in using rubber coated (ergonomic or soft touch?) crochet hooks.

      @@lindamakowski7387 I use those too... rebuilding my supply of hooks... I inherited all of my grandmothers supplies & have a tennis ball can nearly full of hooks.😅... I found some interchangeable foam cylanders and they are a very strong foam with a softer outer core to make it gentler on the hands but they work well too. I need a pair of pliers to change the hooks out thats how tightly they fit. Rebuilding the supply is my goal... and will donate those I can't use any longer.

      My paternal Grandmother taught me knit when I was young and I still have the knitting needles she gave me. Her favorite color was purple and I always put a little purple in everything I crochet and knit, in honor of her. Such good memories.

    This is the best tutorial I’ve found for this tip. I wish designers would incorporate this tip into their patterns instead of the standard or typical ch 1, DC into same first stitch, etc. thank you for sharing!!

      Great video!! You explained everything perfectly clear. 😊
      I’ve been using all three for a while because I didn’t like the gapping or wonky edge and it works especially nice on granny squares. 😁😁😁 I am guessing that many will be thankful that haven’t seen this trick, it takes your projects to a new level. Thanks again for confirming and demonstrating the proper way to make the edges look nice on a project. ❤

      ​@@bellacococrochet I made a pair of slippers yesterday and used your technique. The edges came out PERFECT. Sadly I did not take a picture but will make another pair and share the finished rectangle before assembling.
      I am already changing the pattern to include a top portion to go above the ankle using a potion from anothrr pattern... currently they stop at the ankle. Love this one though because you attache leather pieces to the soles and up the seem at the backside - heel of the slipper. So cute!😊❤

    I've gotten better with the ends, but still have times where it bulks out, and once in awhile a gaping hole, and while trying to fix either, I end up tearing out several rows to fix it. I wish I noticed right away when I've had those problems occur, but usually I have the time to fix it, I'm just tired of the fixing. I battle Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which I had surgery for about 6 months ago, and while it helped, I also battle memory issues, earlier called Alzheimer's, but my doctor thinks I have early issues, so I try to keep doing things so I don't forget how to do them. Videos like yours are a HUGE help!!

    Thank you so much for this video! It has helped me so much. I do have one question, what happens on the very last row of the crochet project? The “loose loop” that gets fixed when the next row joins the loop together more tightly. What happens when you are all done and the top row of your project has this loose loop due to the turn?

    I’m a newbie and have had such a problem keeping edges straight instead of wonky. Can I ask why other tutorials show either 1 or 2 chains at the end of their rows. This video just makes it much more easier. Thank you so much!!

      @bellacococrochet  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You’re welcome, I’m glad to hear that it’s helped you! 😊 I think it’s good to show a variety of techniques as we all have different preferences, so one person may prefer to chain instead of using the starting stitches.

    I'm currently working on an afghan that is half-double cr, slip st, half dbl, slip st. Throughout. A very pretty pattern, but I'm wondering when I end a row with a slip st. , ch 2. How I would use this technique when my next row begins with a half dbl crochet?

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In that case I think I would skip the chain two, and then proceed to work your two double crochets stacked on top of each other (single crochets in the US) as shown in the video, and then continue in pattern. Hope I've understood you correctly and that that makes sense 😊

    I have tried that technique but cannot get it to work for me. I have found that if I am doing a US SC, HDC or DC I chain one then do whatever stitch i the pattern calls for in the first stitch. When I end the row I always crochet into the chain one. It keeps it perfectly straight with no gaps. On a US treble crochet I chain 2.

    Another brilliant tutorial Sarah-Jayne. Thank you. I hope it’s not a really daft question 🫣 but….. would you just add a stitch onto which ever project your working on to be able to do this?

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much! 😊 Not a daft question at all - you can use this technique whenever you need to join a new yarn or colour to a project, so you would do this instead of attaching your yarn with a slip stitch and then chaining. The standing stitch would take the place of the chain stitches.
