[@Danielle-mp5dt]

Thank you for this. There have been soo many times I've had to frog and start over because I didn't know about this technique.

You are very welcome :)

I'm a real beginner teaching myself from KZbin and your video has been like a little golden nugget that is safely stored on my "Crochet - Frequent Referral" playlist as well as the general crochet one. Thank you very much.

Thank you Bella, what a fabulous solution! I just couldn’t bare to undo my very long chain again and was ready to abandon my project😬😂 But, your video saved the day⭐️⭐️

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad it helped :)

[@marysusansaballa5317]

If i had known this before, crocheting the needed chains would have been a breeze. Thanks bunches for this very helpful technique.✔

[@LadyLeoTV]

Omg! Thank you! This is awesome. Frogging sucks. I'm fairly new to crocheting and keep having to frog because the count is off and can't just get into the groove of crocheting, where I get to just zone out and relax. Great tip.

[@RedRoses4612]

Thank you so much! I have been wondering how to do this for years. This will save me so much frogging in the future!

[@conniepappas2095]

Thank God for this tutorial!!! I am a new beginner crochetr. I've had to start over on this project 5 times! I still haven't figured out where and what mistake I keep doing to get the wrong number of chains/ stitches.... Buttttt right now, it's where it's supposed to be -simply because I came accross your tutorial and deleted some chains.❤❤❤

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm glad it was helpful :)

[@sandram868]

What's the best way to learn Crochet? I have been doing my chain stitch over and over again I am trying to get it perfect am I doing this right I am a Newbie

[@nes5728]

hi ! thank you so much for your video! I would like to know if it also works for a closed/ joined foundation chain ? thank you again 🌸

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome 😊 In order to be able to do this, your foundation chain would need to be flat, i.e. not joined in the round. If you find you have the wrong number of chains in this case, you would need to undo the slip stitch and then adjust it.

Hello. Thank you for this really helpful video. Would you be able to help me with this: what if in a pattern with bobbles where I've added some hdc in between bobbles and I notice that I've added an additional bobble and realise it too late as I've already worked on a lot of rows like in a sweater!! Is there a way to undo the bobble without ripping it all out and redoing it? Do let me know. Waiting for an early reply

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome 😊 I don’t think I would be tempted to try and undo one bobble as this would risk all of your hard work coming undone. As bobbles are worked on the wrong side (so that they push out onto the correct side of the work) could you try and poke it through so that it shows on the inside instead?

[@vrindapratap]

@@bellacococrochet that's a very good idea. It makes so much sense. Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I will definitely try that. Best regards...

[@linedemers7493]

how many chains for full size crochet blanket

[@bellacococrochet]

This would depend on the yarn you are using, your hook size and your personal tension. Just chain until you get to the size you want :)

[@zahratajwarshaikh6363]

I was Crocheting my very first cardigan and I made 68 hdc st in each row ( I made a total of 35 rows) and realized that I added A LOT OF EXTRA CENTIMETERS... Like I made a lot of extra chins I the foundation chain so everything went wrong, Pls help... Idk what to do 😭😭

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm really sorry but if you've already worked a lot of rows there's not much you can do except to pull it out and start again! Fingers crossed you get it right next time; remember to use stitch markers to help you! :)

[@zahratajwarshaikh6363]

@@bellacococrochet no issues... I made it all over again the sleeves r remaining but I'm short on yarn, it's on the way and I hope it turns out well Ps- this tutorial really helped me in my second attempt of cardigan

[@thalassophile1665]

I’m here because I have just frogged a foundation chain FOUR times as I can’t seem to get the count right.

[@bellacococrochet]

I think the foundation chain can be the trickiest part of crocheting! Hopefully with this tutorial you’ve found it easy to add or take away some chains to give you the correct number 😊

[@samwinchester5260]

What happens when you notice it and your like five rows deep 😅😅😅 any help would be appreciated please

[@bellacococrochet]

As you've already worked five rows I'll assume that you have too many chain stitches, in which case you can unpick those in exactly the same way as shown 😊 Unfortunately if you're too short of stitches then I think you'll have to frog back to row one 🙈
