Half Double Crochet Chainless Foundation Tutorial

[@marilynhighley1180]

Very clear to see, no excess talking. Straight to the point. Love this. Thank you!!

[@jennifers595]

Wow! I've been crocheting for over 25 years and today was the first I've ever heard of the chainless foundation! Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@julies5515]

I'm going to try this with a blanket I'm fixing to start. I think it will give it a nice clean edge. I also appreciated the fact you got straight to the point on the stitch. Thank you

[@tinamarie1614]

wow I've watched several videos on HDC foundation stitch and this one clicked!!! 100% best video for me. Thank you

[@brandylewis425]

Thank you so much!! This is the first and only video I have found that actually explains and helped me learn this stitch!!!! Great work!

[@GabrielaMarty]

oh my goodness thank you for the clear instructions - i watched four other videos and nobody else explained "go into the bottom of the last stitch"- I was so confused before you explained it like that - thank you thank you! happy crocheting :-)

[@LadyValkyri]

Love this! Thank you so much. Very clear and straightforward, easy to understand. I'm just starting work on a hooded cowl, and need to do 93 of these things. Because of you, after the first two, I got it! Hugs

[@robertastewart2083]

Clearest video on foundation half double crochets! Thank you!

[@monicacalvo1006]

Thank you! I’m starting a huge blanket and I’m so happy I don’t have to make a super long chain!

[@river3163]

I have put off learning how to crochet anything large for that very reason. This changed everything!

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

not only a very nice tutorial but thanks especially for no fluffy talk! keep up the great work.

[@barbaras9764]

Thanks. I have watched several of your videos. You are one of my go to when I need to know how to make the stitch correctly. You are great at explaining.

[@sarahgrace5632]

Thank you!!! Super helpful for making skirts/shorts where a stretchy band is required 🎉🎉🎉

[@amywilkinson6999]

Thank you! It was easy to follow and now I have a way to create a very sturdy chunky foundation stitch!

[@elle-iza]

Thank you so much for using a non-fluffy yarn in a great colour; your stitches show very nicely like this. 🥰

[@joywagner5856]

Thank you for unlocking the mystery! I've been struggling with chainless crochet for ages.

[@lalathebenificent1335]

I appreciate the closeup for my old lady eyes. Thank you!

[@auroraguevara4930]

This has been very helpful I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years and I had no idea this was possible thank you for sharing

[@222NancyG]

Thank you so much for this tutorial that not only explains it well but shows it as well. I have struggled on these chainless foundations but after watching this I'm thinking I can tackle it without an issue.

[@lindambird2180]

Great instructions, I've been wanting to try this for ages and you made it simple and easy.. It has a great even finish and will be using this on everything as I don't always have a smooth line.. Many thanks.. 🐦

[@gailwarrenburg5696]

Thank you so much for sharing. I've been crocheting 40 years and I never knew this. I'll never make a chain the old way again.

[@Tami8161]

Thank you! I love chainless foundations!! I've never done an HDC this way before. Brilliant!

[@normabinkley6111]

Clear explanation without a bunch of nonsense. Thanks.

[@portabletrashbag]

Thank you so much! I was about to start crying I got so frustrated, I'm so thankful I found this video!!

[@Chaashni]

Thank you so much!! I watched so many videos and finally got it right with your instructions! ❤

[@dianemoore4201]

After 60 years of crocheting,I discovered an alternative to the chain foundation. Thank you

[@Tami8161]

WOW!! I was impressed with my own 35 yrs....60 years! Wow

[@pamsego4926]

Nice video! I've watched umpteen videos on half double crochet, now I don't know why, but the other videos show only chain 2 then next steps are just like yours- I can't figure that out🤷‍♀️

[@lindaslaughter5038]

Beautiful tutorial! The colors made it extremely easy to see what you were doing. Thank you for sharing.

[@lynfendleyfoster]

Thank you! Also, using a light color yarn helped me see the stitches better. 🤗

[@andrealittle3331]

Very helpful! I love using this technique when I realize my first row of chains isn't long enough, and I have to add more at the end.

[@LCFiddy]

Thank you for being clear concise and to the point.

[@ladyalibat5559]

Thank you thank you thank you! Yours is the 4th or 5th tutorial on this and the first one that made sense!

[@liazglobia]

after watching this, I finally did it! thank you!

[@glazedtalons]

I really appreciate your tutorial. It was very easy to see what you were doing. Thank you. I am off to a chainless half-double foundation of 161 stitches for a scarf I want to make. 👍

[@amandashogren7897]

wonderful tutorial!! very easy to follow and i love how u go slow and show every step

[@deearthur1385]

Ok finally!!!!! I’ve watched so many thinking I get this but nope not until now

[@aprilgriffin9218]

Thank you so much. You made this so much easier than I thought it would be.

[@jclarke4951]

Thank you for explaining this is so clearly, your efforts is very much appreciated!

[@simplejoys4]

Thank you! You are the first person to say the ch 3 at the beginning is the 1st hdc. I've always been confused as to how to count it when making the fc

[@deedeeknight725]

Thank you for a very clear demonstration on the FHDC!! I've looked at several, and yours is the best!!! 💗🤗💗

[@RockyRacoon123]

This is a great tutorial! I love the chainless foundation.

[@eldredgesmith7236]

Thank you for your excellent video and tutorial!

[@pattysavage8376]

Thank you so much! Very clear, and concise!

[@athena8778]

This might be a silly question but how do you flip or turn it after the initial foundation chain. Do you chain one and turn? Chain 2?

[@Ladyhawk-ys3qy]

I'm crocheting a blanket with half crochet and I chain 2 and flip

[@Kimzeb0410]

Thanks for your tutorial. I love doing these Foundation change it makes life so easy

[@Odiekins]

Weird! I saw another video that said yarn 2 and insert into the first chain. I like your way SO much better!

[@sammielivengood6639]

Your video was very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!

[@polalahari9992]

Came perfectly....after watching your tutorial

[@o0oMysticdragono0o]

[@beccam6487]

thank you for the very helpful tutorial

[@janaytaylor2344]

Thank u it made it so much faster

[@maryjones6930]

Very good instructions. What brand crochet hook are you using? I like the shorter style but I've never seen them. Thanks again for a great tutorial.

[@GleefulThings]

I use Clover hooks. Love them! 😊

[@Caterfree10]

THIS IS SOME WITCHCRAFT HOLY SHIT. I went searching for an arm warmer pattern and stumbled on one that mentioned chainless foundation so I went searching and. holy damn. definitely going to be referencing this if I end up doing that pattern.

[@taylort8133]

Should I count the chain 3 as a stitch? Maybe that depends on the pattern? I’m torn!

[@wendycampbell2769]

Should I count the crochets at the top to count how many I have done?

[@TheSkully123]

Can you do a tutorial on how to make a dress with the foundation chainless double crochet.

[@kball1996]

Great video! Thanks!

[@carola1030]

Thank you soo much! Now I understand! 💟💓💟💖💟💕

[@wiseegg4484]

Excellent tutorial!! TY

[@CindyTalley]

Thank you, it makes more sense now!

[@catniplemon]

PERFECTION! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@cherihekkema368]

Thanks that was great. I never knew that.

[@dorothyclothier4857]

Help! My yarn keeps unwinding until I can't tell what is part of one loop and what is part of another. I am using the same yarn and the same hook that you are in the video.

[@payalagarwala5371]

Perfect 💗😍

[@treebore1477]

thank you very helpful

[@ireneparks7392]

Thank you

[@dreamadiana]

Thank you so much!!!

[@kassandrakhat3263]

Thank you!

[@vickylatoupie]

Thank you!!!

[@tamikohanson26]

I love the video except one thing. I can’t watch it with the music in the background. It’s hard to follow along and listed to that at the same time

[@martina9794]

This is a great brief tutorial straight to the point. I'm able to tolerate the background music volume in this video (as it lasts only a couple of minutes) but I'm getting allergic to this particular piece of music which seems to be used in every other crochet tutorial. Anyway, thanks a lot :)

[@Odiekins]

So mute it and turn captions on?

[@Odiekins]

So mute it and turn captions on?

[@elainechua1973]

Simple & clear tutorial however chainless foundation seems good for one row only not suitable if you require multiple rows...

[@GleefulThings]

Yes, this technique is only needed to create the first row. After that you can work into it with normal half double crochets to create additional rows.

[@dgartscrafts2661]

Good

[@dgartscrafts2661]

Hi

[@sweetgrass1964]

Oh how I laugh at myself... This takes me longer than starting with a chain. I suck.

[@sweetgrass1964]

I *finally* got it!
