I`m not normally a gusher, but I just have to say you are by far the best crochet teacher on the internet! Thanks so much for sharing your skill and experience with such patience, clarity, and generosity.
I have crocheted for more years than I can remember and every so often I will come to UA-cam for inspiration when I want a quick fill in project. Can I just say how lovely to see a well manicured pair of hands and no fake nails long enough to do harm...plus your videos are excellent!
I follow so many crochet channels but every single time I want to learn a new thing, you are the channel I come to. You taught me crochet a little less than a year ago and you are still, by far, the only person who has managed to teach me a stitch or a pattern in the first try. You're seriously awesome.
I watched 2 other videos for this, both were different from each other. My final say is always however you teach it. You do a lovely job of explaining and showing and going over things several times before leaving us to do some on our own. Best tutorials ever!!!
Hello! I just wanted to let you know that this is my favorite foundation row crochet video. I think you do an excellent job explaining how this is done and my foundation rows always turn out better when I follow your directions. Thank you so much for making this video.
I'm years late but I have to say, I watched four other videos about this stitch before landing here, and this was the only one that made it "click" for my brain how to find the previous stitch to put the hook into! The advice for moving your finger up is great--it helped me find it, but also helped me understand what it looked like so I could find it without doing that. Thank you so much for your clear teaching!
I have watched countless tutorials on this technique and have never been able to master it. Following this one, I got it the first time! Wow! Thank you!
This is my very favourite video explaining how to make a foundation chain. Your crochet videos are so very well explained and far easier to follow than others I have seen. Thank you so much. I am getting there.xx❤️
Thank you for demonstrating what the work should look like every step of the way. I think this may allow me to make the leap to doing the foundation stitch chainless. 😍
I absolutely love your videos; I've made a few blankets with these videos. I've seen other videos where they do tutorials on this and for whatever reason I haven't been able to get it down, it just didn't look right to me. I came across yours and you take your time to show exactly what you're supposed to do, and I think that's what helped me figure this out! Thank you so much
Love this. So helpful. Using this is so much easier then making a chain first. It used to drive me crazy to try and make the first row. Counting is so much easier this way. Thank you!
this is wonderful. it's my least favourite part of starting a project so this makes it so much easier and as ever explained simply and clearly. thank you ☺
I love this! As I usually like to crochet in the bottom bumps to make doing a border easier at the end. This automatically gives me chain stitches to work the border in! Genius!
Thank you so much for your videos -- they are SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! I have looked at so many videos to learn the basics of crochet and your videos really break down the stitches so that I can see what to do step-by-step. I really appreciate your tutorials!
finally got the hang of this, I am a leftie who crochets right-handed but I found I yarn over the opposite way to a right-handed and that meant it didn't go right. I have now corrected this and should get used to yarn over in the correct way with a little practice. this is a much better way to start a garment as it gives a more flexible edge. thank you
Omg thank goodness for your video I watched a few on this stitch and was still having problems until I watched yours..your tip about moving your fingers up to follow where to put your hook next was the best thank you
I’ll have to give this a try, it makes a lot of sense rather than making with a chain and then working into it. Thank you for your very clear tutorial x
This would be an excellent technique for getting started on a filet thread crochet project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, a very clear and understandable tutorial!!
Thank you so much. I have finally got it!!!! I have looked at several tutorials this morning and yours is the only one that I understood. Thank you thank you. Now off to my open shell poncho for me... I am looking forward to using this stitch from now on when single crochet rows are the first row.... yea.... ❤😁😁😁
Best tutorial on chainless foundation I've found. I struggled with this with other tutorials. I do ask that if you ever redo this tutorial that you have a count after each completed chain to help beginners know exactly where the beginning and of the stitches are. Thank you.
Wow I can't believe I haven't found your videos sooner, I've been crocheting for 2 years now lol. I love the way you explain and am still learning. Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for this great tutorial. I read how to do it on a pattern and it sounded so complicated, but you made sense of it all and it now looks completely doable for me! :)
Saying we build the foundation chain vertically was key for me. I kept getting my chain turned around and twisted until I saw you explain it this way. 👍 Thanks!
I love your videos, they are so easy to understand. I was having trouble figuring out where to start my next set of DCs - hold it as you're stitching, of course! I do this when I am using an invisible decrease, not sure why I didn't think of it for this. Thanks for the simple tip!
Bella Coco..... Hallelujah!!! Thank you so much m😁😁😁out of 10 tutorials, yours is absolutely the best I've seen!! Frustrated with finding the foundation chain to insert hook to making stch. The thing that made yours different? When you put your finger on it, and and I didn't have to search for the exact chain. I love, love, love, your videos💜 You are such a great instructor!!🌻🌻🌻
Oh, thank you!! Should have looked at your video first but i was trying some others that seemed to make sense but weren't as clear (for me!). I think i get it now!!
Just tried this and found it quite easy. It also seems that it leaves an edge just like the advanced foundation chain making it easier to add a border when it's finished.
thank you. I made a crown for my dgd and it was right around the head. This will make it more stretchier and comfortable. I've tried this before but with your video I think I'll get it this time. Gonna go try now
loved this....ive been looking for a foundation stitch tut that was easy to follow and i love your work....doing my 1st baby blanket and this def make it look so much better. Thx
Thank you so much, I need to use this for a wedding dress pattern, never had any luck with chainless foundations before so fc I get this one :D will give it a go later today.
I just tried this stitch for the first time, and it was pretty simple to do. My only problem is that I need to be more consistent with my tension. Thanks for a great tutorial!
wow! the foundation chain is my least favorite part, so that is such a great idea. I'm going to be starting a blanket for my boyfriend, in the US Navy, for his birthday and I can't wait to try this. :)
Why am I just seeing this technique. 18 months after learning how to crochet via UA-cam? Am I ever going to get this? I'm over having to guess which bigger hook must I use for my foundation chain in order to match the stretch of my projects. This is perfect, but I cannot tell where to place the hook at all. It doesn't help I'm a leftie too and American. I've been trying all day to get this. Ugh. Thanks for trying. You are my favorite.
Happy to have helped 🙂 I do have a left handed tutorial for making a chainless half treble/treble foundation row that might help you with where to place the hook, you can find it here: ecs.page.link/LtLDf
Thank you for keeping it so simple❤. some Lady tried to teach me how to do this with a yawn the size of a rope😢. I dropped her so fast it made my head spin😂. thanks🎉👍🏼👏🏼🥰
I am new to crochet, your tutorials are great! I realize this one is three years ago. Would you be able to tell me how to join this in the round? Is that even possible since you are doing two rows at once?
How do you border a simple shell baby blanket? Your bottom edge is straight, but the top has the shell design. I am just beginning to crochet various stitches. Thank you. I like your videos and love to listen to your voice. I am an Anglophile!
Morning Sarah Jane If I needed a starting chain of 198 how many treble chain less stitches would I need to do I'm thinking 195 would that be right , wonderful tutorial as usual x
What a pretty color yarn!! If I could only stop decreasing my rows! I do crochet a little better than I used to.:P I could knit a sweater in this color.:)
I'm 43 years old and been crocheting since I was in 4th grade. I still struggle with dropping and sometimes adding stitches. Once I get about five rows it's a lot easier. What I do is count each stitch every time I finish a row. If you need to add one , just add one. If you dropped a stitch it's easier to rework one row rather several and some times all. Like I said I struggle the first few rows, so I count them. After I only count ohh just ever few rows just to make sure I'm on point.
I found out later that I wasn't counting each row and not chaining right,3 instead of 1 as I wasn't following a pattern.I do better with scarves than blankets.
+CORKY NATURAL CREATIONS Corena Garoutte I knitted a tiny bit as a kid but played outside most of the time or read books in the winter ( when I had to stay inside ).I took up knitting 18 years ago but the teacher wasn;t nice then decided to try last year.I did get help to finish a sweater ( the sleeves ) then I learned to crochet and to my shock,I prefer it but I do have mild arthritis now so that proabably is one reason.I told my daughter that this blanket won't be that straight on the edges as I got lazy and didn't pay attention!!!
Would you like to do an amigurumi animal??? I think i like that!!!!! This whas a very good tutorial!! Thank you!!! Ps: sorry if you not now what i say, i live in the netherlands :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm fairly new to crochet and I've learnt loads from your tutorials. I struggle with foundation chains and am about to start my latest blanket using the chainless foundation (when I've had several practices!) Do I need to use a larger hook as the pattern suggests for making the chain, or will it make the first row too loose when I change back to my normal 4mm hook?
Would this work as well if the bottom row of the work had pattern stitches with, for example, extra yarn overs to create “holes” or with clusters or popcorns?
Great tutorial. I had watched another tutorial and didn't show u what to do after the 1st row so I went to make my 1st graphgan using the other tutorial and I now realize I messed up big time using the chainless foundation cuz my graphgan is coming out backwards. It's a superman graphgan and the S symbol is backwards on the right side. I so wished I had seen ur video 1st before starting my graphgan. I was half way into graphgan before it started becoming obvious. So many hrs of work and yarn. Thank you for showing us what happens after u complete the foundation row so no one else will make such a painstaking mistake that I did.
what kind of yarn is this?? My yarn is so soft it keeps breaking apart when I try to find the hole on the first chain? I have the 4 medium weight worsted but someone told me to try the 5 or 6 weight. I'm a beginner by the way. Someone also told me that this was much easier to do than the single stitch which i REALLY had trouble getting. I do the chains pretty good, it's just when i have to make the single stitch is where I get messed up.
You could work a row of plain stitches at the very end of your scarf to match the beginning 😊 You may also find that working a simple border around the finished piece will make the beginning less noticeable
Haven't been crocheting long(since lockdown actually!!) But in that time ihave made loads!!! And am completely addicted!! My problem is that although i can keep tension good during the main piece , my foundation chains always look shocking!!!!! What am i doing so wrong? Any ideas?
A lot of people use a different hook for the foundation chain and then switch to a different one for the main project - so if your chain stitches are too loose you can go down a hook size, or go up a hook size if they are too small 😊
I`m not normally a gusher, but I just have to say you are by far the best crochet teacher on the internet! Thanks so much for sharing your skill and experience with such patience, clarity, and generosity.

Great idea to put your fingers on the chain you will be going into next. I lost track of it when I first tried this technique. Great instructions!

Light bulb moment!!! Basics are sinking in 😀😀😀Thank you

Ah, that's a neat idea. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I always have a little trouble with that first row after the chain, often skipping or missing a stitch by mistake, so this is helpful!

It would be good to demonstrate in different colour yarns for the different stitches. Also, have you a tutorial on half treble crochet ?
if it helps, when doing a half treble crochet, instead of "yarn over, pull through two, pull through two" you would "yarn over, pull through three" :)
Hi when I chain for a blanket I usually use a bigger hook so my work doesn't curve. Do I need to do it for this please
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm fairly new to crochet and I've learnt loads from your tutorials. I struggle with foundation chains and am about to start my latest blanket using the chainless foundation (when I've had several practices!) Do I need to use a larger hook as the pattern suggests for making the chain, or will it make the first row too loose when I change back to my normal 4mm hook?
You're welcome, I'm so happy to have helped 😊 For a chainless foundation I would use the same size crochet hook as you're planning to use throughout.
Thank you x
Thank you!
You're very welcome 🙂
Hi!
Excellent video. Would I be able to link to this tutorial for a pattern I’m making? I will not be making money from the pattern.
Thank you, yes you can link the tutorial as long as you attribute it to Bella Coco Crochet and do not sell the pattern :)
Would this work as well if the bottom row of the work had pattern stitches with, for example, extra yarn overs to create “holes” or with clusters or popcorns?

Love this, but how do you make the end match, as in a scarf!!!
You could work a row of plain stitches at the very end of your scarf to match the beginning 😊 You may also find that working a simple border around the finished piece will make the beginning less noticeable
@@bellacococrochet Thank you

A lot of people use a different hook for the foundation chain and then switch to a different one for the main project - so if your chain stitches are too loose you can go down a hook size, or go up a hook size if they are too small 😊
