Crochet Foundation Chain | BEGINNER | The Crochet Crowd

This is the right handed version on crocheting a foundation chain. Foundation chains are more complex but allow for better edging possibilities. Mikey recommends using Foundation Chains as much as possible, especially when doing edging.

Mikey is my go to guy for anything I want to learn concerning crochet. He is the best instructor I have found. I tell everyone who asks me about crocheting to check out Mikey on the crochet crowd... Thank You Mikey!

[@SpacesCorners]

Mikey, I could hug you for posting this. I was seriously *this* close to losing my mind over this damn stitch! I tried probably 8 different videos before I found yours. I don't know why I didn't save myself the trouble and look yours up first! You are the best. Much love.

[@kathrynhungerford5688]

Thank GOD! I have been unable to figure this out after crocheting for 20+ years! NO ONE explains it nearly as well as you do!

[@1640teapot]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have fiddeling around with this stitch off and on for over a year, and just could;t "get it." After watching your video, I had that DUH moment when all of a sudden it made sense. Your tutorials have helped me through several projects, and when someone asks me how I learned the technique, I just tell them that "my friend, Mikey" taught me how to do it.

[@lindysherrod]

Thanks bunches Mikey, finally I understand HOW to do this. BIG hug sweetie!!!

[@cajsemmes]

Thank you. I have watched tutorials and none of them made any sense. You simplified it so everyone can understand what you.

[@lynnebennett4009]

Thank you.....I had spent the better part of a day trying to follow other tutorials. Had your version down pat in a minute. My hero!!!!

[@eldonna8512]

You are such a talented person and an excellent teacher. Thank you so very much for this video. I have wondered how to do this for a very long time.

[@KarilaDawnblade]

Thank you for this video! I actually just came from watching three or four other videos on the same subject and JUST couldn't get it! With yours it just made instant sense. Thank you! :D

[@AngiMarie1]

Been trying to figure this out for a month! Got it right the first time after watching you. Should have come here in the first place! Lol! Thanks!

[@pamwolfe6793]

Oh Mikey you are wonderful. I have tried to get this by watching other youtube videos but they were always confusing and had me giving u up on ever getting it. I got the magic circle before I could do this. With you it made sense from the first time..i actually can fondant do patterns that call for this. Thanks so much Mickey.

[@collinrayefan91]

Highlighting the pattern as you go? Brilliant! Thank you so much!!

[@bpongrass]

OH MY GOSH I HAVE BEEN PUTTING OFF A PROJECT FOR SIX MONTHS BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION CHAIN WAS REALLY FRUSTRATING AND CONFUSING thank you THANK YOU SOOO MUCH YOU SAVED MY LIFE THAAAANK YOUU

[@LisaHerger]

This is so clear and easy to follow, thanks!

[@heathergillespie5464]

Mikey I have tried to learn how to do a foundation three other times all with different tutorials and I never could figure it out. However, with you explaining I not only got the hang of it quickly I now feel like a fool for not being able to get the hang of this before since it is so simple!

[@sapphire48481]

Love the way he makes it look easy! Thanks!

[@elaineallen4121]

Thank you Mikey. Your the best!

[@summerhill93]

Thanks. You taught me how to do this on the first try. Great video. :)

[@myndisue66]

Had a pattern that called for this and I was totally confused. So of course I looked for a video, I knew yours would help. As always it was a great help.

[@nycbklynrmp]

awesome, was 'pulling my hair' to get a nice chain, some were to tight and other loose.This makes a consistent and sturdy chain, thanks for posting

[@teenalazrovitch]

I like how you do a slip stitch. My granddaughter is wanting to learn to crochet. I am teaching her to do slip stitch. I tell her pretend it is two frogs playing leap frog. The frog in the back leaps over first frog. Then that frog decides to jump higher. He jumps over the hill. After trying it a few times, she loves it.

[@lilolmecj]

I hate messing with the original chain so this will be great.

[@sew42mom]

Excellent video - Thank you.

[@Ameera42]

Thanks Mikey got it in one try

[@katecurrah9354]

[@MsRightseeksMrRight]

[@VondeLynn1]

[@jimmikeray]

[@JadedVegas]

Thank you Mikey!!!!! =))

[@SmallxPackage]

I love the video !! first time around didnt work ,, second time was perfect! Great help, do you have hat making videos lol?

[@thesanctum2717]

If you were to do another row of the foundation chain, would it only be 1 chain and then foundation?

[@ericjenkins1949]

Very good lessons! Can anyone tell me how to cast off? Or am I missing it, too?

[@chrisjdd]

Thank you!

[@CIMaddox]

He's very good.

[@miscelaneasdecrochetycrecimien]

THANKS

[@gloriaalthouse8060]

Is the foundation chain the same as just making a chain of desired stitches? I just can't get the hang of it.

[@SophiaAndToby]

is this the same as a "Foundation Single Crochet"?

[@Jillene0030]

Is this the same as a chainless sc foundation? If so, it is done different than the ones I have seen. I need to make sure I have the fch correct for a pattern & when I look up videos, I'm shown 1 way on 1 and then another on yours. I've seen it where you do as you've shown except instead of drawing thru 2 loops to complete the stitch, you must 1st pull thru only one loop to create a chain & THEN pull through 2. Also, for each stitch thereafter, you insert hook in chain before the 1 on your hook

[@scariakoonthanam1536]

i would like to make the above design can i get the details of the above design

[@zanromeder8143]

really need more close ups. had no idea where he was stitching.

[@beckygarcia9043]

But you say never count the first loop as 1. Confused

[@kathryngannon485]

Where is the tutorial on casting off, changing colour etc.?

[@daniellecooper8792]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@VondeLynn1]

Danielle Cooper ditto....

[@lillianneal5849]

[@VondeLynn1]

Ok, so who found the next lesson on finishing and changing colors? Please reply if you did....

[@pjm9385]

[@ktex4873]

[@VondeLynn1]

Ditto.... Anyone find it?

[@jeanerzen3396]
