[@thejessica-est]

I have a question. Do you do the same thing at the end of the tow before you turn? Like would the last stitch in the row be the stacked singles? I'm learning a lot and appreciate all that you do! Thank you 💘

[@mandy347]

I love how close you hold the yarn and hook to the camera and how you point to individual strands. That's really helpful and what a lot of other tutorial videos lack.

[@tfwashington3863]

Awesome. ❤

[@misspiggy2418]

Hi this is great, I always thought there was something wrong with my crochet til I found this. Where is the one for HDC please, I can’t find it on your playlists

[@shrinithiashokkumar2694]

Looking for straight edges for HDC

[@nylorij-Lori]

I’ve been crocheting for 50 years and never thought of trying to figure out how to create such a smooth finish to the sides. Awesome technique! Thank you! 💗

[@kayebeal8066]

Thank you for sharing.

[@alesulaie4391]

I feel exactly the same way 💖

[@cinandrews]

Same @nylorij

[@m.elainebates7931]

I've tried other methods for straight edges. Sometimes it didn't matter bcuz I was putting on a border. But I'm going to try this next time I make a scarf or something. Thx for sharing😍

[@curecidp]

Amen! 45 yrs for me!

[@sallywasagoodolgal]

I've been crocheting since the mid 1940's, and have crocheted everything. I didn't know this. I've crocheted with fine thread and a 14 hook, and I've crocheted with worsted for afghans. This old dog learned a new trick. Thank you.

[@Mary-cp4wo]

And they say u can't teach an old dog new tricks.

[@judy123]

yep, me too

[@mjshabazz8874]

I love that!

[@mujeebkhawaja6981]

Old dog???

[@jenniferlindsey2015]

Could not have said it better myself.

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

Jaw drop. In 40+ years of crocheting, this is completely NEW to me. You are a GENIUS!! Thank you!

[@missmayflower]

Wonderful video! You got straight to it with no blah blah blah and gave us very clear instructions about what to do. Thanks so much.

[@sunshineandwarmth]

Yep. Miss Littlejohn is one of my favorites bc she teaches about crocheting and does a superb job. And she doesn't blab mindlessly, or tell us about all her ills or problems, or vacations, or family members, or let her pets or kids interrupt her, or apologize for things that shouldn't have happened in the first place, bc they don't happen at all.❤

[@charlenegarcia5144]

I personally like the NO Blah, Blah!!!

[@jhwatchlist6927]

If you want to use this method for a HDC, after the first SC do a Slip Stitch instead of the second SC.

[@KPNoonz]

Another great tip!

[@morrisdancer11]

Great tip: Thanks a lot . 0:34 is the most repeated because your fingers almost cover the stitch we must go into making it hard to see. Remember: When you are a beginner one of the hardest things to "get" is what each stitch looks like and where to put the hook.

[@conraddaviliiersr.2917]

You are so talented. Not just in crochet skills but most importantly as a crochet teacher! Thank you for making these tutorials.

[@gtlam41]

I watched this tutorial a few weeks back, and I've been using this method ever since. I can't thank you enough for showing us how to do (FINALLY LOL) straight edges. It seemed no matter what I tried I still had gappy, lumpy edges. NOW my work looks so much better. Thank you thank you thank you. 😁😁👏👏👍👍

[@ChronicBrat]

I thought it was just me who had the wonky edges, no matter how straight I try to get them!

[@Rita-cd9bj]

That is Flipping! Awesome!! 50 yrs. and still love Crochet, and this old dog is learning new tricks! ... I love it! Thanks for sharing

[@lolnope11never]

As a beginner, this is the BEST explanation and instruction I've seen! THANK YOU!! ❤

[@barbsanderson231]

So that's what they mean by a stacked or chainless turn for straight edges - TY!!!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

You're welcome!

[@YvonneWilson312]

Oh boy, this is a game-changer! Thank you so much for showing us this!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Glad I could help 😸

[@zivadinkagrujic5406]

[@snapecat]

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing your crochet hack!!! Love this!

[@mariabetancourt1497]

Oh nice thank you 😊

[@aqilahrosli6347]

This is so good! Ive learned to accept the bumpy edges but I'm glad I stumbled upon this top! Thank you 😍

[@winnepeterson7740]

I’ve been shown (and used) several methods for acquiring straight edges without holes. This one is the best ever. Thank you!

[@LaraineAnne]

Thanks so much for a great tutorial. I love how you don’t waste our time with preambles and don’t use a soundtrack, most of which are horrible.

[@AmandaMcLuckie]

I've been crocheting for 20 years and this is the best hack I've seen to date!!! Amazing!!

[@Sortiara]

I've only been crocheting for a couple of years, but in 90 seconds you've improved the quality of most things I'll ever make moving forward. Thank you!

[@hedwignl8118]

How can anyone happy to advance in crochet techniques NOT like this video??? Like what?! This is a game changer! Thank you so much for sharing this with the crochet 🧶 community!

[@dawnvickerstaff2429]

I've been crocheting since I was seven. This is the first time I have seen this hack. Super! No more wonky edges! Thank you!

[@sashka139]

О боже!!! Где же вы были раньше... Спасибо огромное!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@KPNoonz]

this is the best thing I found! There are so many tutorials about this, but this is like this is real. This is the real deal! This is the only technique I’ll be using from now on to straighten my edges. Thank you so much for sharing this info!!!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

KPNoonz thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you like it. Your comment made my day.❤️❤️

[@funniful]

Amazing! I’ve been crocheting for half a century and I JUST LEARNED SOMETHING NEW! Thank You! 👍🏻😊❤️

[@mdbw3411]

This is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE way to keep my sides straight, thank you so much! It looks so neat and tidy

[@darlenecuker9711]

My Mom taught me this decades ago, but I forgot since I hadn't crocheted in years. Thank you so much. She had all kinds of professional level techniques for beautiful knitting and crochet, she was a designer, but I only half listened and now she is no longer around to ask.

[@TheBBLimon]

I tried the tips you gave me. Before, I repeated the wrong case, and I thought that was the natural result. Now it is enough to cut my hand on my knitted fabric with sharp edges. Now, I feel better after knitting, so I want to keep knitting. Thank you so much.

[@jntsstuff]

This is a miracle. Thank you so much. What a difference. The smooth no-hole edges are so lovely. I’ve crocheted for many years and finally am happy with the edges. ❤️❤️👍👍

[@amyjune8329]

I was googling something and two of your videos came up. I think you are going to be my biggest helper on learning different techniques to make my crocheting look like I have been crocheting for years not just months! Thank you ❤

[@deedeeodonnell696]

OMG this is wonderful!! I have been making cowls for Christmas and I have been getting holes at the end from the chain 3. On my next cowl I will be doing this trick! Thank you so much!!!! 🐰🐰

[@margawynevans9775]

Unless the pattern is “lacy”, I NEVER “chain 3 (counts as DC)”. I always chained one turning & then a standing double & it helps. But THIS is freaking BRILLIANT! Thanks SO much & SO glad I stopped to see if I could do my brother’s birthday scarf a bit better!😀

[@soul_fiddler.cosplay20]

OMG! It worked THANK YOU SO MUCH! This might improve the crib sized baby afghan I’ve been working on for my coworker/friend/manager at my grocery store’s customer service who’s having her baby in November, 2023.

[@robyartist1]

Thank you so much for this as it is saving me a lot of aggravation! It also makes it so easy to know where to put the last stitch. You explained this very & made this so easy. THANKS again!

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

I'm just starting out and you just rocked my world! Thank you for taking the time to share this tip. Have an awesome day!!!

[@dayzemae9015]

I agree, been doing crocheting for sixty years and have never, ever seen this! I subscribing to you! Thank you❤️

[@debbie3667]

WOW! I have been crocheting for over 50 years and never seen this. I am an advanced crocheter and didn't think I could learn anything else. I watched because I was curious. This is so much simpler than what I do. Thank you very much.

[@cathiegarrett]

Oh I love learning something new. Thank you so much. I will definitely give This a try. I have never like those little gaps at the end of each row. Great tutorial.

[@pjscelfo916]

That's an awesome tip. I can't wait for the smaller stitch tip.

[@carolinehampton9973]

I saw a tutorial for the smaller stitch that tells you to always ditch into very first stitch

[@carolinehampton9973]

Always stitchk in first stitch ( for last reply

[@Propakate]

Ok, I think this just changed my entire crochet game for life!!! Thanks 😊

[@rebelagainstthegrains]

So awesome! I’m a full skein into a moss stitch baby blanket and now I want to pull it all out and start over just to fix my edges, LOL!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Oh no. Don’t pull it out😂😂 try on your next pattern lol

[@nicoladunnill8449]

Thank you so much, I've been making bags recently and doing long chains for the straps drives me crazy thanks to you I can now make them the width I want and do shorter rows

[@ariainman6691]

Thank you for sharing. I do one sc all around one row....Then I do HDC one row all around all my work. AND it works.

[@cindykq8086]

You just don't know how much I appreciate all you've taught me. THANK YOU!!

[@conniekiefer7010]

I’ve been crocheting for 50+ and can’t wait to try this stitch. I know it will work beautifully. Thank You for sharing

[@susanevans6675]

I am floored. Mind is blown. I will be using this trick from now on.

[@emilythompson3756]

I’ve been crocheting for nearly 20 years and never knew this technique existed. Edging will be SO much easier and nicer looking now. Thank you!

[@feeberizer]

I've been doing mostly knitting this past year, but I decided on a crochet pattern to make a shawl for my bff's birthday in Feb. I'm glad I saved this video! Now I'll have nice, neat edges. And...since I just started with 83 fsc it's really obvious this starting stitch is a slightly modified fsc. Clever girl. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@aliasallison343]

been crocheting for 40 years & This Is A Game Changer! thank you

[@fullofgracehomestead]

That absolutely amazing!! I accidentally did this on my last project and the scarf was flawless!!

[@toodlypip77]

I’ve just started crochet and I was getting those jagged edges. I couldn’t think what I was doing wrong. So thank you for this tutorial xx

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

You’re welcome🥰

[@rooshar13]

I just started crouching again. I learned in my teens and life got in the way so after 40 years I'm giving it a try. This video was just what I needed to stay straight!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Welcome back to the crochet world ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pjm8433]

That’s been my problem & it aggregates me beyond my limits. I’m going to try this as I watch a lot of your videos.

[@steffd8822]

Oh holy moly, thank you! I crochet edges into all my afghans, etc cos I don't like the way they look & the edging somewhat hides these annoying gaping stitches. This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@mreneeneely]

Noooooo! I've been crocheting for decades and you just changed everything!! Wow! Thank you so much!

[@orscrub3161]

amazing, just amazing! why hasn’t this been taught years ago! thank ya Lady!

[@rsr4099]

W O W !!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I've been crocheting for a few decades but never saw this. Perfection.

[@SunsetLakeLoops]

I’m new to this and after reading the comments I’m so thankful I stumbled upon this hack now. Thank you 😊 ❤

[@wendyannh]

That is sheer genius, and you have just singlehandedly made me a much better crocheter.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Glad it helped!

[@michelerice5983]

Thank you so much for this video. It has been a blessing to me. I don't know how many times I ripped out my work and started over.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Bumpy edges ruins everything!

[@dalerichardson6212]

Very best hack ever!! Thank you so much! And you don’t have to go searching for how to get into that final stitch.

[@nonyabidness1623]

Great information and demonstration, now, if I can just remember this! Thank you for your post, I'm sure many seeing this will appreciate it!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Glad it was helpful!

I figure out little tricks all the time when I'm crocheting and I can't believe that I never thought of this. Thank you so much

[@jeanineemery4617]

This is great. I have been crocheting for 40 years and have never seen this before! You are amazing!!

[@badgamerkat]

Wow, thank you so much! I"ve been crocheting for over 40 years and usually only crochet amis in the round because I hate doing straight edges because they're never straight. I only hope I can remember this next time I do a scarf or something.

[@sherriejb7017]

Wow!!! Thank you!! I've crocheted for over 20 years and didn't know this!

[@bettyannbest]

Oh my goodness!!! This is a game changer, can't wait to try it, thank you!!

[@koretmulder6316]

Wow - so helpful! I've always kind of low-level hated the part in a project where I have to either join pieces or add on trim, because the edge was just all over the place. This will make it so much easier, and neater-looking too!

[@michellewerries7433]

All I can say is WOW! Thank you! I hate those gaps.

[@ebonythornton3582]

Thank you so much & I love the fact that you are very clear on explaining this method.

[@Manhester2024]

Спасибо Вам огромное!!! Это просто прелесть. Благодарю за видео🌹🌹🌹

[@sharonw2008]

Thank you for an excellent short, sweet and informative video! I don't have the time or patience for really long, drawn out videos, this is so much better. New subbie! Xx

[@Air0Sparks]

Not just straight edges but much more friendly to seam!!! Thank you!

[@gerrik9714]

The best tip ever. My edges are truly straight. Thank you.

[@helentuininga679]

The absolute best tutorial ever.

[@joclark3702]

I knew there had to be a better way to get straight edges! THANK YOU!!!

[@patricia6809]

Brilliant. I’ve seen a few different techniques to get this straight edge, this is far superior! Best looking and easiest way I’ve seen to obtain it. Way to go!

[@sylwienzik]

This is amazing. I tried everything and this is the only thing that works for me. Thank you very much

[@juliestraw7064]

I can't believe it was that easy all this time! Thank you for sharing 😃

[@jazziecupcake2967]

Omg this is the best!! I was making two straps for a bag and I undid both of them and followed your tutorial. It looks sooo much nicer! Thank you!!

[@kathrynboisvert8976]

Wow gotta try this technique! It should dissolve my frustration over this messy edges issue, THANK U🙌🏻😀!!

[@mardinicholson5502]

I just read this! It will probably make that foundation row for a border much less of a bother. Can’t wait to try it out!

[@mardinicholson5502]

I’ve also been a “crocheter” for 50+ years!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

That just clicked for me the other day! Another commenter mentioned the same thing.
