How to Crochet: Chainless Foundation Stitches - 4 video tutorials include single, double, half double, & linked double crochet stitches

Have you ever wanted to learn how to create a chain-less foundation chain? Chain-less crochet stitches can help up your crochet game for sure! I know you’ve looked at a pattern and the first row or starting point said “foundation single crochet,” then you think to yourself “what the heck is that???” Oh noes! 😟 Don’t be afraid. They are really easy to learn and once you learn them, I guarantee you’ll fall in love with it.

I didn’t understand the hype over this crochet technique until I started designing garments. Chain-less foundation chains help the garment stretch and prevent curling, which is so valuable for creating a garment that doesn’t bunch, or is too tight on your head, etc.

I have a feeling once you learn how to create these, you won’t ever create a normal chain again!
