Crochet Chainless Foundation Double Crochet | FDC

[@Pur9leRain]

Hey Robin, seen a couple of these FDC tutorials and you are the only one that explained the actual anatomy of the stitch! Now it makes sense why I’m doing what I’m doing. Thank you and keep it up

[@angelaspivey4494]

Third tutorial I've watched to figure this stitch out and this is the one detailed enough to help me. I was stuck on where exactly the previous stitch was to insert into, it's such a confusing mess right below the hook. Thanks for going slow and the big yarn :)

[@ColletteKelly]

Hi Robin! Your FDC and Magic Ring tutorials were the ones that helped me. I couldn't do them until i watched yours. You're very helpful and easy to follow. Whenever i discuss crochet with anyone i recommend your videos to anyone. I even met a nurse i spoke with who struggled with MR and i recommended your video to her as she loved crochet but dreaded MR like i did. But your simple instructions make the dread a thing of the past. I hated FDC and FSC but now i can do them so easily. Thank you so much!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hello Collette, this was so lovely to read and thank you so much for recommending my videos.🤗 I am glad my videos have helped too. Enjoy your crochet!😃x

[@adoreknit4869]

Robin you’ve taught me to crochet!! In October I used your video to make a granny square blanket. Now I’m working a garment and this is my 4th fdc video. I should have started with you. Great explanations!

[@JLumen]

Thank you thank you! I've been watching so many videos to get this

[@jillpaxton2422]

This makes me so happy! So glad your ribbed scarf tutorial led me to this tutorial.

You are such a wonderful teacher! You make all of the steps so clear and I appreciate your use of the correct terminology :)

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Fleur! 🥰

[@aintyourcupoftea1319]

I've started using this for every blanket I start and I'll never go back. Thank you Robin ❤

[@jenniferhoadley6373]

It really helped to understand when I'm creating the chain and when I'm creating the DC. Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@HookedbyRobin]

I’m so glad it helped Jennifer.😃🧶

[@jeanetjones674]

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are very welcome! Glad it helped 😃

[@cutiejensen82]

Thank you do much for this wonderful explanation, Robin. Your videos are always so helpful, you are a great teacher.

[@bookwormdaisy]

This was the most helpful tutorial! Thank you for explaining the whys behind each stitch so well ❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are so welcome!😃🧶

[@GrammyAmanda]

Thank you for explaining so carefully and using easy to see yarn. I can finally do it! 😀

[@LuanneStPeter]

You're the best crochet instructor Robin! Thank you. (I also love your laughter 😃)

[@vickibrooks5008]

Wow...you are an excellent teacher. I can't wait for more. I've gone back and watched most of your videos. Thank you so much for posting them. I'd love if you could show how you hold your yarn. I learned to feed the yarn over the pointer finger but I like the way you have it over the second finger which makes holding on to the piece so much easier.

[@HookedbyRobin]

A few people have asked me this! Lol I don't really hold my yarn at all, it just kind of hangs there 🤣 I might see if I can get my husband to help film how I hold it x

[@jaycintamoore9685]

You are welcome Pattie🤗🥰

[@mauritateed8185]

Another excellent tutorial

[@rosalynsmith4184]

Thank goodness! I’ve watched so many videos, and yours is perfect for me! Thank you for using the chunky, light-colored yarn, it REALLY helped!

[@tamara25252]

Now I understand!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yay! 😃🤗

[@paulettern9913]

Awesome Robin. Thanks

[@amatullah4813]

Thank you so much. Much appreciated - very clear.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you, I’m glad it helps.😃🧶

[@clairemanning521]

Robin, is it the same process for making foundation half treble chain? I really love your tutorials......you have taught me to crochet and I love your explanations......they make so much sense! Thank you so much 😊

[@SaffronJ7R]

Thank you Robin.

[@MOlivo-oh4zq]

You are awesome teacher I love it I am going to try it.

[@susanrayner5836]

Hi Robin I'm half way through my barcg of granny squares to make a cardigan phew! Can I ask I want to add ribbing can I use the foundation stitch your demonstrating here.....iam definitely hooked I noticed you haven't done a cardigan 😢 loving your tutorials sooooooo good x

[@valeriefimple1209]

Thank you!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You're welcome Valerie. 🤗🧶

[@caroletompkins6800]

Loved the video on how to create the FDC - you explained it very well. However how do I continue on to completing my pattern? How do I get from the FDC to the rest of the pattern, even if the pattern is stating to chain and then whatever. Thank you!

[@JennyB232323]

Can you use this start and still work in the round, like for an infinity scarf?

[@lotrfan85]

Question, after you crochet your foundation double crochet, would you then chain two, turn and then begin regular double crochet? Love this tutorial by the way. It makes a nice sturdy foundation to a blanket.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yep! x

[@ijazahmed9468]

So easy

[@HookedbyRobin]

🥰🧶

[@ASHA_KNITTING]

❤❤❤

[@LlamaThatLoves]

Do you know how to start a new row on that foundation???

[@HookedbyRobin]

You could chain 2 (or 3 depending on what the pattern calls for) , turn your work and then work a double crochet stitch into the 2nd stitch along (the chains you make at the start count as a mock stitch) Then double crochet in every remaining stitch until the end then repeat all over again! Chain, turn, dc x

[@waytoocrazytomedicatemythe5028]

Omg thank you.. so far the only one that it's confusing

[@brittanymoore5009]

Can you do this for something that you have to slip stitch together like a hat?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes absolutely! You may need to leave a slightly longer tail at the start so you can sew the bottom gap together but other than that, you're good to go!

[@cherylmcbride8497]

When you say ‘go back to the single crochet you just did to start your next chain and dc, I don’t know which one that is lol. Easy way to know?

[@MartinMadsen92]

Didn't understand it at all until I saw this video :)

[@RT-yc3tk]

Do you chain one when turning for next rows?

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Yay!!!

[@deboraalexis4016]

Thank u!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re welcome Debora!😃🧶

[@kdunlap3289]

Its much easier to keep count of the stitches than in a chain.

[@yolandastone3621]

😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Yolanda! 😃

[@jenni9071]

As a beginner, this yarn was too chunky for me to follow tutorial.

[@olgaiglesias9497]

Thank you!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are so welcome!😃🧶
