In this episode of B.Hooked TV, we’ll have a look at foundation crochet stitches and how they could help you avoid the foundation chain altogether.
Do you hate working in the foundation chain? What if I told you that you may not have to crochet a foundation chain at all? Would you jump for joy? Foundation crochet stitches can not only allow you to skip the foundation chain altogether but it can also clean up the edge of your work. No more tight edges that don’t stretch or unsightly loopy holes at the bottom of your work!
Learn how to start your projects with foundation crochet stitches and achieve a cleaner, stretchier edge to your projects.
B.Hooked TV is a new weekly series dedicated to helping you get better at your craft. I share a new video every Monday so you can start your week with yarn! Sometimes we talk about crochet techniques, sometimes knitting techniques, other times we may dive into project planning and productivity strategies.
Either way, the goal of the show is to make you a better crocheter and/or knitter. If this sounds like something you need in your crafty life, you can subscribe to the show on YouTube so you never miss an episode.
B.Hooked TV is based on your feedback which means each episode is created with your struggles in mind. Tell me your current struggle with crochet or knitting (or both) in the comment section below and you just might see me talk about it in a future episode!
Cheers!

So glad I found this channel. I am teaching myself, so this is very helpful. Do you have any episodes on how to crochet in the round? I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a round pattern. Thank you!

Hi Amanda! I haven’t made an episode for this yet, however, I do have a pretty in depth post about it! You can find it here: https://www.bhookedcrochet.com/2017/01/10/ultimate-guide-crochet-round/

Thanks! I’ll definitely be trying this on a baby crown. I think the extra stretch will make for a better fit.

What a great show! The foundation chain can be so tough to work with so this is a great alternative.
Brittany
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂

I will try this method on a sample swatch. Looks different on ends so I’ll have to practice some. I really like to say I’m really pleased with new stitches that I’ve learned and have made 8 different baby blankets and am extremely happy I found your site. Thank you so very much for your time. Just like to say I’m 70 years old and you have taught me such lovely things.
