Crochet Foundation Cord- What is it and how do I make it?

Foundation Cord:
What is it?
Put quite simply, crochet foundation cord is creating your chain and first row at the same time. This results in a more structured starting row, and can help maintain tension.

Brilliant, thanks! I suffer from the same two illnesses and appreciate the thorough explanation.

This is a bit like how we cast on stitches for knitting. Thank you for the clear tutorial.

Wow, fascinating process. I can’t wait to try it. I’ve only been crocheting a couple of years but I’ve never seen this suggestion when people ask about the gaps when working around the chain.

God love you for posting this. I followed you over from the facebook page where you figured out the seamless round and this is mindblowing also. Thank you for showing us!
