    How To Crochet A Foundation Chain Stitch:
    1. Begin by making a slipknot (see video above if you don't know how)
    2. Put your hook through the loop, then hook the yarn
    3. Pull the hooked yarn through slip knot. This makes one chain stitch.
    4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you have the desired number of stitches. One loop will remain on hook.

    I like the fact you split these concepts into separate videos. I started getting disillusioned my first time crocheting at the fact that I'd lose track of what I was doing easily (like I was trying to adjust my tension, count chains, turn my work, and it was too much all at once!). These make it a lot easier to digest the information and pace myself so I don't feel as overwhelmed!

      Thank you, I thought that would help people to see it separately.

      ​@KristinsCrochetTutorials Crocheting is something I'm supposed to learn for my Complex PTSD. There's so many patterns, and stitches you will always have something new to focus on. I've been so completely lost. I can now do slipknot and I'm onto foundational chains. Truly, thank you. I think I might have it this time ❤

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I am so happy to have found your channel on UA-cam!!! I was about to throw out everything I had to learn how to crochet! If you can believe it, I bought the book called "Idiot's Guide to Crochet". It was above my level of learning! I could not for the life of me figure out how to make a chain. Looking at detailed pictures does nothing to teach me! BUT after watching you it clicked!! Watching someone is so much better for learning!! I can now make a chain and can not wait to see the next chapter!! God Bless you for saving this "Idiot".

    Thank you so much! I actually just started doing crochet yesterday and looked up tutorials on how to do a chain stitch and none of them worked! I got so frustrated and now I found this and I’m happy with it! Thank you so much! I recommend for people new to crocheting.

    Hello Kristin, my name is Angela and I am a 39/40yr trying to venture out into different avenue to create more streams of income. I have researched different videos on this technique and I have to say that your videos and the way you break them down and explain them are Awesome and Truly Appreciated! I watched the first 2 and now know how to slip knot as well as do a chain!! I so proud of myself because I almost gave up on the YT technique and was going to go hands on until I found you!!! I have subscribed as well as saved the videos so that I can become proficient in this crocheting. I currently am a Cna and have been for 20+ yrs. I have Clients that constantly ask me if I made my own hats and it drove me to venturing out into trying this out, I believe that God has blessed us all with Talent's and Skills and this is and will be 1 that I have to take on!!! Thanks again and please continue to upload more on this topic and technique!! May God continue to Bless your hands and all that you're doing!! Take care!!

    I’m 49 & told by my adult kiddos that I needed a hobby. I also read in an article that crocheting or knitting was good for the mental health so here I am. My oldest child (non-binary AFAB pronouns they/them) already knows how to crochet. They told me about the Bella Coco videos. She was confusing me. Then I find your videos and now I can do a slip knot & a chain. I’m still working on the chain part. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward moving to the next video after I master the chain.

    Thank you so much for making this video! My mom was amazing at crocheting. I always wanted to learn it, but could not get the basic down. Number was for me!! And I was told by a teacher in school, give it up, you'll never get it! You helped me prove her wrong 40 years later! Thank you so much!!

    Absolutely terrific. You speak clearly, explain every step, and go slowly. I have crocheted, on and off, for many years. Thanks to you, I’m learning that what I was doing was not the way it should have been. Thank you so much for helping me learn the correct way.

    Hi there I was looking to get into a new hobby and my sister suggested that I try crocheting so I joined Annie's caring crochet club of the month . But I couldn't quite understand their instruments not until I started watching your videos thanks for sharing . Your instructions are very easy to follow and understand thanks again .

  • @Senoritagata-nu5te

    After checking so many tutorials to learn how to make a simple chain stitch I got confused & I stopped the video to go look someplace else . I looked at about 6 videos & your tutorial was the easiest to understand. You did not give me a n entire lesson plan on crochet needles or you did not make me go out to the store to buy this special yarn or thread.I have some stuff here & I just want to know the basic steps wether or not I have this or I have that. Thank you for breaking it down in simple terms for me no nonsense . I'm a simple person I get it now.

  • @nancych7081
    @nancych7081 Рік тому

    I'm so glad you are talking about yarn tension, and getting used to what is most comfortable for you, and to try to keep your tension the same (whichever way you choose: tight tension, medium tension, loose tension) so that your stitches are uniform. That's so important, and even if you've been crocheting for years but took a few years off from crocheting and now are returning to the craft, it's important to get used to handling the crochet hook and crocheting the way that feels most comfortable for you, and keeping it uniform. Crocheting is so much fun, and your videos are so helpful for newbies and also for those of us returning to crocheting after a hiatus. Your videos are so helpful and you explain everything so clearly. Thank you!

    So glad I found you! I’ve been crocheting since I was a kid, but my old hands haven’t been wanting to cooperate. I’ve had to change up the way I work. Thank you so much for helping me not to give up what my granny taught me to do over 50 years ago.

    I've been crocheting for 50 years, and learned on steel needles and thread weight yarn. A friend wanted to learn, but we are an hour's drive away from each other, so can't get together often for in-person learning (and I'm retired, she is still working!). Your videos on the foundation chain, sc, and double crochet are VERY clear and easy to follow, so are going to recomment she watches and then works along. For those who think the videos are too fast, they can always use the tool symbol on the UA-cam video to choose a playback speed. I recommend .75, or even .5, for learning. Good job, and thank you for these!

    Okay, so I’m super new to crocheting. I’m at the just chaining over and over again Til I get the hang of it. My question is, how to do you put away your thread & needle so that what you have chained, doesn’t come undone?
    I hope that made sense.
    This video so far was so super helpful.
    If you cover this topic in a later video and I just haven’t gotten to it yet, I’m sorry. Like I said, I’m starting at the very beginning. 😀👍🏼

    Thank you again for another super beginner video. I knew I couldn't be that dumb to figure this out. Your ability to slow things down and not combine 10 things in one video is to be commended. Thank you for being here to teach me like my grandmother was sitting next to me. I only wish I'd had the drive to learn from her when she was still with us. I want to make an afghan in the worst way. I figure if I start now in May, by fall I may actually have one when its cooler, lol.
