I love that tip. I've been crocheting more than 60 years and I still have things to learn. Thank you.
You are very welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Super helpful thank you
finally ! a video tht actually works & simple to understand
Incredibly helpful! Thank you for pulling your piece up close to the camera and showing exactly which holes you used with the yellow needle.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. So lovely and clearly explained. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this amazing and informative video. You made this so easy to follow!
Very useful tip..The finishing and edges matter a lot and you Olga have helped create the perfect finish for our projects Thank you
This worked so well for me. This is my new favorite method for straight edges! Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear that! You are very welcome!
The finest explanation ever! Thank you.
Much easier than other methods I have seen!Thank you!
I am speechless. This is so useful and very well explained!!!
I'm so grateful to learn this from you! I have struggled for years with edges that aren't straight & every "solution" that I tried hasn't worked. But your's does & I'm so grateful! Please teach us what to do with a double crochet edge. Many thanks! 💜
I will try to make more shorter videos like this one, showing how I work double crochets.
I use the "standing" double crochet to keep the rows straight.
Great tip! This method seems to work well for other types of stitches as well. Tried it on a project where I'm doing rows of slip stiches in back loops, and my edges turned out really neat. 👍
Wow, that's great, thank you so much for sharing that!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this tip!♥️
This is very useful info, Olga. Thank you!
That’s a great tip…thank you!🌸
Yes! Super useful. Thanks so much!!
A very useful technique! Thanks so much!

Absolutely brilliant and thank you for explaining beginning and f. o
Thanks for this awesome tip! This is going to make a huge difference.
Excellent video! Great demonstration! Thank you so much!❤
Beautiful, very beautiful
Fabulous idea! Thank you so much.
Yay! Just what I was looking for. I was working on ribbing but didn't like the edge. I'm going to try this!
VERY useful! Thank you for sharing this, Olga. It's a great method for getting a straight edge.
Yes, it was useful and looks beautiful! I'm so thankful for your wisdom and the kindness with which you share it with us. I've been crocheting for years and this is a tip that I wish I had long ago but I will use it from now on.
??? Can this be used for double crochet or other designs? If so, can you do another video showing how you would do that?
Thank you, Olga! And, though the news has not been telling us much about Ukraine, I'm still praying for the people and for the country. Too much loss to comprehend! God knows what Ukraine needs. I pray that He brings it soon! I hope it is peaceful and free! ❤️
This specific method only works with sc. But I'll try to make more short videos like this one with useful tips, including straight edges for dc.
Thank you so much for your prayers for Ukraine! 🙏🏻🇺🇦
Oh my goodness! This is genius!! Can't wait to try it! Thank you so much!
Yes very useful! I've never seen this! Thanks so much!

Yes Thank you
Great tip! Thank you! Now, could you do the same for double crochets that seem to have a big gap along the edge...there must be a tip for that too!
I'll try to make it soon!
I have used the method of starting each row with a "standing" double crochet. It gives a nice straight edge.
@@willworkforyarn4893 could you elaborate? How is a standing double crochet? Is it chained? Thanks! 💗
@@inmarcesa It actually eliminates the chains and makes a stronger stitch. I learned it about 20 years ago. It would be very difficult to explain how to do it in this format. I recommend going to The Crochet Crowd channel here on UA-cam. Mikey has a tutorial and is great at showing how to do it. Hope this helps you.
@@willworkforyarn4893 Ooh, I will for sure check the tutorial you recommended! Thanks a lot, Mary! Have a wonderful day :)💗
Thank you so much. This was so clear and easy to see. I know it's me being a beginner that's the issue, but this was super helpful. Thank you again! Blessings!🥰🙏🖤
Hi! Aww, I'm so glad this was a useful video! Thank you for your comment!
Thanks 👍👍
thank you for this tip I am so happy I found you I subscribed :)
Yay! Thank you!
Brilliant😅 thank you❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Olga it’s very neat amazing!
But what about double crochet and half double crochet? I use those stitches more often than single crochet. Would be great if you could do a tutorial for those stitches as well. Thank you for all you do for the crochet community 😊
G E N I U S!!!!
Thank you 😊
Hello Olga! Thank you for showing one tip its very helpful . We are in the way to San Diego. Today it is the graduation of Natalia from her Mater Degree.. 🤗🙏❤😉
Congratulations to Natalia on her graduation! You must be very proud of her! 🎊👏🏻
@@OlgaPoltavaYes Olga . We are very proud of Natalia. She was working hard for the last schooler yesr. She will continuing doing internetship for one moth in Scripps and work part time in other company in San Diego. But she will have one other interview next week . 😊👍😉
Thank you so so much! I have struggled with trying to fix this situation on my own with adding stitches, but it still didn't look right. Thank you for this excellent instruction! ♥️💐♥️
You are so welcome!
@@OlgaPoltava 💐♥️💐
What a fantastic tip. Been crocheting for years. Will be using this technique. Hope your family is doing as well as expected, considering what they're going thru.
Thank you. Have a great week.🤗 Blessings🙏
Third room😊
oh my god THANKYOUU
I'm still fairly new to crochet and although I've learned the basic stitches and a few intermediate ones my edges aren't very straight. Yours are PERFECT and so beautiful. To use this technique do you start in row 2 doing this?
I always have uneven edges and think I am doing something wrong. This technique is what I need to know. Thanks.
You are most welcome!
I am going to have to watch this again. Could you do a tutorial showing us how to do first & 2nd row? I did not get that. I think after watching this video again i can completely understand how you handle the rows. But not the first two.
Yes, I'll try to do is soon!
@@OlgaPoltava
Thank you!
It does look really neat but I’m afraid I don’t get it either. Starting from the beginning would really help me too 😊.
I wish you had done a few more rows, it’s so beautiful !! But I didn’t understand how you add and then end you taking one… please if you can do another tutorial with about 10 rows.. Thank you so much!! 🌹💐 I just realize it’s being 1 year that you post this, but if you see this message, I would love to watch again 🌹❤️
Hi Irene, I did see your comment, thank you so much for leaving it! I was working on a bag and decided to make a quick video sharing that little tip. But you are right, I think many people will benefit from a more in-detail video. I'll try to make it soon!
@@OlgaPoltava oh my gosh ! Thank you soooo much !! 💐🌹🥰
Does this technique work in crochet in the back loop? At the end of the row would I look to the previous row for the space of the single crochet or something else to poke into?
By chance, do you have any photo written tutorials on "straight edges"? Thank you.
This is also a tip that can be found in the book Esperanza rising at the beginning❤
Fantastic! I’ve learnt crochet on my own so never managed to learn basics i guess
PS: do you also have a similar tutorial for double crochet and half double crochet?
Unfortunately no, this technique only works of single crochet. But I did share some tips on how I make my double crochet edges straighter. But I can't remember in which specific video I included those tips 🤷🏻♀️
Brilliant tip; thank you very much. What is your favourite method of getting straight edges when you’re working half double and double crochet fabrics please?
That really depends on the pattern and on the yarn. In some patterns I use a beginning dc instead of 3 chains and that helps to achieve a straighter edge. Other times I would use 3 chains at the beginning of the row, but then at the end of the row I would make the last dc not into the 3rd (top) chain, but into the 2nd chain of turning 3 chains (actually in my new tutorial coming this week, I am using this method). When working with very thin yarns (such as mohair), I make dc2-tog instead of the last dc, which makes a better, straighter and sturdier edge.
@@OlgaPoltava Thank you for taking the time to answer me. That’s very useful to know 😘
Hi am new at crocheting I wanted to ask . Can you make the turn with out the turning chain
❤100%
Great tip Olga. Does this only work for single single crochet. Don’t make many single crochet projects.
Yes, this specific method only works with sc.
Try using the "standing" stitch of the one you are using.
