Don't tell anyone but my secret evil plan is to wrap up the entire globe with yarn, and this first chain is only the beginning. The skirt is just a cover up 🤫

Chain 10. Take hook out and put it in the very first stitch. Then pick up the loop and continue chaining. That way you have a circle - and it's NEVER twisted

Can I please convince you to look up a standing double crochet, and a foundation double crochet starting row… they will COMPLETELY change the crochet game for you 🤗 The bottom of the skirt will stretch more annnnd you will have less chance of it twisting accidentally 😊

Or just take out 1 row to where you completed the round of dopple crochet hold chain (with DC facing downward) between fingers and fallow chain row around without taking hands of. When you are at the start again, you can close DC round without twist. Even when chain raound is twisted, nobody will see it. Et voila 2 hours less work.

For making a loop, I’ve found that it you make a short chain of maybe 5-6 chains and then take your hook out, slip it through your first stitch and the working loop (in that order) and then continue chaining using your working loop and holding the beginning chain loop in your palm and you will never have to worry about twisting your chains, no matter how long it needs to be. You just slip into the first chain once you have the right number of stitches ^_^

There is a super simple way to prevent twisting the chain, and there are youtube videos that demonstrate how to do it. 🤗

I learned years ago that it is best for me to work back and forth for a few rows before joining into a ring. You have a little seam to sew up when you start working in the round, but at least there is not all that frogging!

You are so lovely and relatable when you had your 'Oh No' moment with the twist in your chain. The pain of finding an oopsie when you are stitching away and unravelling to fix it, is such where you can see the time spent fall apart.😅 Also, have miscalculated on the amount of yarn I need for projects and it makes me nervous to be sure I can get all I need to finish. Your birds are so cute!

I don't think I've ever subscribed to a channel so fast! You do a great job on commentary and humor! I really appreciate the jokes!

quick tip: when doing a long chain and trying to prevent a twist: either start with a stacked first row (staked double, single,....) or when doing a simple chain, after you do your first 10 stiches, unhook the work, put the first loop/chain onto the hook and push it back; then rehook the work and carry on. keeping the work's start on the hook will prevent twisting and you can simply slip stich into the fist loop that you have been holding on to.

Loved watching you - what a joy and so funny! You're brilliant!

It turned out great! And honestly your struggles are all soooo relatable!

Absolutely beautiful skirt. And you are not alone! All your disasters are more common than you can even imagine. To avoid twisting: Start as normal. About a dozen stitches in, remove the hook and insert it into your beginning stitch. Untwist the the shorter chain. Reinsert your hook to continue your work leaving that beginning stitch on the hook. When you come to the end, close the loop. There are many tutorials on KZread to walk you through. Between this and the foundation stitch, I don't know which has been more mind blowing for me.

That is one beautiful skirt! Well done. :)

Lovely skirt and I like your crochet knook.

Omg feel you on the giant Mobius skirt start ❤❤ try ch20 (or so) and then take yarn off hook and thread the first chain (without a twist in the cord) onto your hook and then pop the crochet back (checking again, and then again for twist) onto your hook and continue making yarn spaghetti. It will just get REALLY LONG and at the end of the starting spaghetti noodle chain, just slip the held first stitch off the hook, over your last stitch and there is no twist!

oooh I hate twists. I started to knit the first rounds flat and then close to a loop with a bit more fabric so it‘s easier to spot loops. Might work for crochet too, you just have to sew the first few rounds in the end

The algorithm do be blessing me with this video today

The Twist reference 👌🏻

Is starting with a chainless double crochet base posible for this skirt? Because that could help with the "not twisting" thing right at the beginning

Its very pretty!

If you have a super long chain you can usually join After the First round and sew the Little gap at the beginning

BRAVO Girl!!!

You must get this ALL the time but I love your sense of humour! 😂

When I’m doing something this big and see the instruction “join into a ring and make sure it doesn’t twist” I actually turn the work and work the first row and then join into a ring at the end of that row. Then you can use the short tail at the start of the work and a needle to weave a join at the edge.

Small mistakes happen all the time its only when it effects the pattern and flow of the fabric that causes the problems.

Haha, careful or you might get recruited for my army, our goal is to cause shenanigans and maybe even a bit of tomfoolery, very serious business Jokes aside tho, I'm glad you enjoy the silly little videos I put out there 😊

4:12 whenever I begin a project with a super long chain I will slip stitch back to make it a little thicker. It’s barely noticeable but pretty

If you remember to keep the first loop on the hook for the entire chain, you will have it ready to connect, with no twist.

Lovely work BTW, appreciate that you show how long it can take, would take me 20 years to make, but it gives me a better idea of what it can take to complete a project, so I can mentally prepare myself rather than spend endless nights, weeks, months with very little sleep on slow auto pilot because my brain is no longer functioning correctly. I am still very new at this so I don't know all the things to look for in the videos but this is a very good one in my opinion of what one can run into just to create their idea. Your also quite lovely and up front making it pleasant to watch your videos, thanks

Well done looks great so honest with mistake

So that the starting chain does not twist in large jobs there is a tip, knit 10 or 12 chains, take out the hook and insert it into the first chain and slide it back of your hand, reserving it, continue knitting where you left off until you reach the desired number of chains, now you will have two loops on the hook, Just slide the yarn through the two loops and you're done! You have the circle closed without having to suffer for the chain to twist!!!

Do a foundation row start, it includes the chain and the double crochet in one go, much easier not to twist it.

Awesome 👍🏾 thanks ❤❤❤❤
