Been crocheting 40+ years and I've learned more about crocheting techniques in the last year on these KZfaq videos. It's Great! ♥♥♥

Finally the absolute easiest and best way to keep straight edges! This method should be more widely known. Another plus is that this method produces a sturdy edge that makes adding a border super easy and doesn’t cause big holes! Thank you so much!

Wow Tula you’re a fantastic teacher! I’ve not seen this done anywhere in all my years crocheting, it’s brilliant, thank you ❤

this is amazing!! I was feeling so discouraged by my edges, but you explained exactly why I'm having issues. and this technique is easy enough that a beginner like me(I started a month ago) can pick it up in no time. thank you!

life saver tip , Im having the hardest time to finishing the edges of a double crochet project , because of those horrible holes ! thank you for this!

I want to thank you for making this specific video. I've had such trouble keeping my edges straight but you made it look so easy and now it works for me. Thank you again.

Oh my goodness. I've been crocheting my whole life and I've seen so many approaches to getting straight edges, none of which really clicked for me. This one make so much more sense! Thank you so much for your knowledge!

Thank you for explaining WHY you use the stitches you use for straight edges! It helps me remember when I understand why I need to do it, not just memorize it!

This is fantastic and SO helpful - I have spent more frustrated hours than I can remember, doing battle with horrible-looking edges. You've not only saved my crochet, you've saved my sanity too. Thank you many times over.

I am on my knees thanking you, Tuula. 🙏 The shawl I was busy crocheting for mum's birthday is complicated and I have spent days on the pattern, just to realise the sides are completely uneven. Your tutorial has given me the courage to start over and make lovely straight edges. 💕

I’m self taught crochet and this is the first time I’ve seen this. Wow! So simple, only took twenty years for someone to show me. Thank you Tuula .

Thank you so for your lovely videos! They are simple, straight to the point, and no fluff. You explain these tricks so well and it is very easy to follow. Keep up the great work!

i've been crocheting for almost a decade now and i've never seen this wonderful technique! typically i single crochet around my edges so it helps even everything out while also giving me a clearly defined stitch for seaming purposes, but this will be a huge help! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. :)

Wonderful demonstration

This is a real game changer for me. Thanks so much for sharing your skills.

Tula, I could kiss you right now!! I’ve tried lots of tips & tricks in the past, but nothing seemed to help. This is wonderful! I’ve just made a child’s scarf in 15 minutes, sides straight as a saluting soldier! Thank you so much. X

Thank you so much, I have been looking for what I was doing wrong for 2 weeks. You kept it simple, didn't go fast, I could actually see what you were doing, the best video I have seen.

Thank you so much! I hated the way my edges looked before I found your video. Now, my edges look so much better and I've had people ask how I got the edges so straight, I happily share your video! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much..straight edges that are actually straight! A welcome break from joining granny squares. I've made 1 huge blanket and 7 baby blankets since discovering your technique a couple of weeks ago. A million thanks. Xx

I have done this on my first blanket and it worked GREAT (I am a very very beginner). Every time I finished a row I checked it for length and every time it came perfect. Thanks a million, my work finally looks better.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. You just confirmed what I thought all along about 2chains vs 3chains and closing the gap at the end of the row.

Wow! I've been on and off crocheting for a little over 30 years and had no clue. I've tried other things but this is the best one. Thanks!!!!!!

In always come back to this video for a refresher especially when I’ve been doing granny squares or hexagons in other projects and forget how to do this.

Finally I have straight edges! Thank you so much!

Thank you for this wonderful tip, the uneven or sloppy edges always make me feel like I could have done better. You have given us all a way to do so much better on our projects.

This is a great tip! I love double crochets but didn't like the holes at the ends of the rows but just thought that was how it had to be. It doesn't! Thank you!

Thank you so much. Your videos are so easy to follow. I have been crocheting for over 40 years and for the first time I will now have straight edges 💜

Thank you for your video, you made it so clear and easy to follow your instructions. Now I understand how keep the ends straight. You are a great teacher. Please continue to make more instructional videos.

Wonderful tip! This will eliminate the need for borders just to make cleaner edges!

This has been SOOOOOO helpful!!! I was so close to giving up on making scarves because I couldn't get that straight edge, but this technique is SO helpful and so easy to learn!!!

Thank you so much Ms. Tuula!!! This technique with 2 crochets into the last stitch and then crochet them TOGETHER makes my work look PERFECT!!!

Thank you, queen. You were very thorough and for that I thank you.

This is the best method I've seen. Yes, some people do the chain 2 first, then dc into the same st, but without the "extra" dc in the previous row, it doesn't help much.

I’ve tried so many different things to make my edges straight and nothing worked, I tried this and it is the most tidy and uniform. I made my mom a beautiful scarf using this 😍

You are an awesome teacher! It's so nice to understand for a change! Keep up the good work!!!!

I found this video a year or so ago for fixing my edges with my blankets, and I had to search KZfaq to find you again because you're the only person I've watched that explains it so well and tells me what I was doing wrong initially! Thank you for the help!😊

WOW was my initial thought. Thank you, thank you, Thank You.....can’t wait to use this....

This technique is the best solution for this problem I've ever seen! TFS!

Thank you, thank you, for being such a great instructor, who holds the needle like I was taught!

WOW !! this explains all my problems !!! Thank You SO MUCH!!!!! Borders are going to be so much easier and look so much better with these straight edges !!!

This method for straight edges for dc crochet is fantastic!! Do you have videos for the other stitches as well? Thank You!

Finally somebody speaks truth. Thank u soo much & bless u!!!

Thank you! Your demonstration makes it so easy to follow. 👍🏻

Thank you for finally giving me the solution to uneven edges!! Love your videos. God bless.

Thank you so much for sharing this extremely helpful technique!!

Dear Tuula, you are adorable. Your crochet tutorials are the best, but best of all its your kindness and generosity to take your precious time to show us. It is never not appreciated. You will have your reward one day, I don't know how to crochet that well, yet, but I do know that you will have rewards. I'm 70, I should know something hey, lol. Thank you again and I send you good vibes and hugs from afar. Sherie Rodrigues from Australia. 🥰🤗

Thank you so much, Tuula. Your instructions are so clear and I’ve tried your method and it works! So pleased.

I would love to learn how to start the double crochet onto the first and last chain

Wonderful! Looks beautiful. Appreciate you teaching this method! I just came across this video of yours. Cheers!

Tuula, how amazing are your tips! I've crochets all my life, & just had to deal with these things. What a difference! Thank you so much!

Thank you Tuula. This makes perfect sense. What a great technique. ❤

You can do this with hdc’s too!!!! I had a pattern with alternating rows of dcs and hdc’s and it worked perfectly!!!! Thanks!

Wow.. this is great help, thank you!

I was making both of the errors you showed until I tried your technique. It's wonderful! Thank you so much for this video. I will check your videos in the future whenever I have a question.

Thank you, I am a new crocheter. How wonderful to have a friend on KZfaq to give me this great tip for my first project! ❤️🇨🇦

That’s amazing! Thank you for the information!

Thank you so much this is very helpfull, you are so talented🤩

I love this! I have been crocheting a very long time and I have never seen this hack. I always hated the holes at the ends of the rows. Going forward I will use this every time! Thank you so much!

I like this a lot better than those other videos that teach you to skip a stitch and then go into a chain at the end. Thanks for the tutorial :)

Thank you! Just picked up how to crochet during this quarantine time. No wonder my edges are always not straight 😅

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I figured out the chain 2, instead of 3, but still had a small gap, every other row.

Many many thanks and many many blessings to you for taking the time to show us how to crochet . My project looks much better thanks to you! ;)

Wow. How wonderful. Thank you so much. This will make me much happier when crocheting. No lumps on each end. Life will be better.

Sheer genius!

Thank you thank you thank you so much for this video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you. I've seen other videos demo but yours is by far the best and easiest. Thank you again.

Thank you for showing this very fantastic way to crochet straight sides.

Wonderful!

Thank you for this help, I've bounced back and forth with other videos trying to figure out how to do this and this actually helped...

I so grateful I found your channel!!! You have changed my crochet game and have rejuvenated my love for crocheting 👍🏻❤️😊

Very good. Thanks for your tutorial. How about half double crochet?

Wow this is such an awesome technique! Never would have thought of doing it this way! Would you use the same method if you are working in single crochets, or is this just a double crochet thing?

Thank you so much! After struggling many times, this one worked for me. However,as mentioned earlier, would appreciate the tutorial right from the start for us beginners.☺️🙏

This is by far the best method I've come across! Thank you for sharing.

Hello, I hope you can help me. I'm new to crochet and just learned the DC stitch. After crocheting several rows I wasn't very happy with the way it looked because it had gaps on the sides and also the edges were not as straight as the SC and 1/2 DC stitches I had just learned. The instructions asked me to chain 10 + 3 extra stitches. So I start with a slip knot, chain 13 and then the last 3 stitches of the chain will be the first DC stitch because I am told to skip the first 3 and make my first DC into the 4th chain. I looked on the internet to try and find another method to make the edges look better and came across your video. I am a bit confused though as to how to start your technique from the very beginning, with the foundation chain. Do I start your technique after I have made the first 10 chains and then instead of chaining an extra 3, I will try your technique? Or do I do the first row like normal (making the first DC into the 4th chain until the end of the first row and then start your technique at the end of the first row before turning the row and continue on with your video)? Otherwise, are you able to make a video showing your technique from the beginning starting with the slip knot and the foundation chain? Thanks for any help you can provide! Your edges look very straight and I really hope I can learn your way of making the DC stitch. Best, Lisa

Excellent presentation! I assume this would work with the higher stitches (triple, quadruple) also. I always forget how many extra chains to make at the end of the row for each stitch type. Do you have a quick way of remembering?

Tuula thank you so very much. this is brilliant! i have tried 4-5 types of turning chain variations but this is the absolute best one i have seen. I love your videos they are so clearly recorded for listening and following the stitches. thank you so very much.

Like this the best

When making and pillow cover you have to single crochet in the stitch two times can you double crochet in the same stitch or put two single crochet in the same stitch

Thank you for showing me this, I have finally found a tutor who hold the yarn and needle like I do.

This technique was very helpful and makes my project look so much neater. Thank you so much!!

Great tip but how can I use it with half double croshet? And even worse how can this work when I have one row hdc and the next sc and again hdc, sc ...... I can think a solution for a pattern like this. Please help me if you can😕

is this the same for the first row of stitches? like should i put two double crochets into the last stitch on the first row?

Wow I never knew that! I feel like unraveling my cat blanket now you've taught me how to rectify the wiggly edges. Many thanks for the video, I am learning new things all the time.

Thank you so much for this tip. I’m using this tip right now and love how the edges turned out. I’ve tried other tips and this one by far is the best

FINALLY

I'm just starting this and for whatever reason I'm having the hardest time with holding the yarn. I wanna just go at it with a little more speed but I struggle so much. I keep practicing its just hard

Thank you !!! I have always hated sloppy edges, your way is perfect !

Thank you for this video. This method really works up beautifully.

How do I keep the edges straight if I am doing all single crochet?

Thank you! My hole-edges always bothered me :)

you are the best crochet channel!! thank you for giving clear instructions & filming it well

Tuula you are GREAT! Thanks for these so usful, straight forward videos!

Please don't mind me & my BOOKMARK @1:30. Thanks 🤗🌼

Too fast to catch what you did to fix it. Can't follow along... :(

Whoaaa! This is so brilliant, it's almost magic! Thank you for the tip!

This is by far the best solution/ technique I have seen for this problem. Thank you so much!!!
