Genius! It never occurred to me to try it this way! I'm a fairly competent crocheter, and I have learned so much from you to really polish my work. A couple hours on your channel is better than months of studying the craft. You make it so accessible. Thank you!

@susanvampressqueencolvin4721 7 ай бұрын

Me neither! I like using this stitch. (It saves time IMO). But i never thought about doing it this way before. Now i think that's so easy.... Why didn't that occur to me when i needed to do that on a project 🙄. Lol. 😅 THX @Tuula! Much appreciated. ❤🙏🥰

You are the first person I've found who holds the yarn like me 😊 I do knife hold though, so the quest for my true crochet twin continues 😄

@TuulaMaaria 6 ай бұрын

The way I hold both yarn and hook are very common in many European countries, we are taught that at schools, or almost like that, I have changed it a bit!

@oraclebunny8359 6 ай бұрын

I've recently watched your other video where you talk about this. I'm from the UK and just thought I'd developed bad habits but I just can't change how I hold my thread. It's so much easier to do it the same way as you.

Thank you very much for sharing this. I finally grasped the concept of the stitch. Every other time i saw other crocheters using this stitch form they did it too quickly thus making me avoid even trying to replicate it. Now i can use it with confidence. Thanks again for using patience and repetition in this tutorial. This has been by far the best tutorial on a foundation stitch. A few shawl patterns that i like use these foundation stitches , now i have confidence to try them out. 😊❤

Thank you, I'm so glad that the tutorial was helpful to you! Enjoy crocheting those shawls now! 💗

Oh, i know, I noticed that but then coudn't think of another way to say it - to have the term foundation crochet in the title would have put people off because many might not know that term! 😄

Being fairly new to crochet, I never thought about using foundation stitches in this way. I assume this works with any of the basic foundation stitches.

@TuulaMaaria 7 ай бұрын

Yes, works equally with foundation single crochet, half double crochet, treble etc.

@karynnepigott8270 7 ай бұрын

How do you keep the chain stitches you create, by pulling through only one loop, big enough so the bottom edge doesn't bend into banana shape? Mine always go so tight that the under edge bends and isn't straight.

@TuulaMaaria 7 ай бұрын

One thing is to have the right size of a crochet hook. But largely it is just practice, I make sure I don't tighten the stitch when I make it.
