Fabulously smooth edges! Thank you very much.

WOW! After just a few rows to try it out... what a difference! I don't understand why the "chain one" before turning your work ever became the norm. This looks so much neater! THANK YOU!

Thanks..

This was always a problem for me visually; I thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks so much for this helpful video!

Revolutionised my single crochet edging! Thank you

This is my all time favorite video along with alternate the turning stitch. First it makes edges so straight and second I never have a hard time finding where to put my last stitch! It really has made my crouching much less stressful!

Very clear instructions. Many thanks 😊

Thank you, Nicki! This tutorial was very helpful. I'm a perfectionist, as well, which can make life a little more challenging sometimes (lol), but I really love how this simple step of not crocheting a turning chain eliminates the zig-zaggy edge on single and half-double crochet rows. I will be using this method from now on. Bravo! 👏👏

THank you this video is helpful and explanatory

Wishing I had learned this before my current project but this is beneficial for future projects...thank you❤️

My goodness 😮 I’ve been looking at all teaching beginners channels and I love you❤ also the fact that you started right from the beginning was very helpful too!! Others have crochet few rows and … honestly!!! This extra changing would also give me extra stitches. I’ll start with 10 and few rows later I’ll 12 or even less at one end!!! I’m so grateful for teachers like yourself🙏🤗💯🌹

I tried it just now and I love your idea. Gracias

I have NEVER needed the bumps at the end of a row to find the last stitch! Crocheting a border will conceal those bumps as will stitching the pieces together.

I've tried to make straight edges for yrs🙄💪😍

I like zigzag edges it’s still straight and gives the edge definition straight edge is good too

I, too, like the zigzag. It easier to put edgings around if needed.

Thank you so much for this video! I just could not get the hang of crocheting with the Turning Stitch. I never understood it. This video is so much easier and now I'm crocheting scarves with ease. Can I do this with double Stitch and other stitches also?

Glad you loved it. Here is more info (different from sc) for DC: www.nickishomemadecrafts.com/alternative-turning-chain/

Thank you! What a great tip! I didn't like those bumps at the end either. I'll definitely be doing this!

That’s exactly how I do my straight seams I don’t chain one because as you said it leaves a bump so for sc and hdc this is what I do. However I’m still working out what is the best for a dc haven’t found one I like yet

Good morning and thank you for this beautiful tutorial I'm gonna start doing this thank you very much God bless you

Haha! I've been doing that since I was a kid simply because I thought it made better sense! I didn't like that holey business at the end of a row -- especially when it comes to double crochet. I chained two and call it a turn, going about my business.

Thanks for the tip! Would love to see a video for the half double crochet. I was taught to chain 2 for the hdc, so are you saying I should not chain at all, or to chain just 1? I was also taught that the turning chain counts as a stitch for the hdc (unlike for sc). Is that still true if there's no turning chain?

@mariakristinahawl1640

If you count the turning chain as the HDC, you won't get the bumpy ridge.

Awesome thank you so much yes it looks so much better. Do you have any idea how to get the herringbone & half herringbone sides straight A’s they are so wobbly when I do them

@aintinerin9506

Жыл бұрын

I saw a pattern, that she does a single crochet the first chain, then herringbone stitches in all the next rows, then a single crochet in the last row. I want to try it.. hope that helps!

I would love to see how you do the hdc please

Thanks for sharing your tip. I like the crochet hook you use. Please tell me the brand name and where it can be purchased.

😊

Hi, what's the name and maker of your nail polish? Absolutely gorgeous color♥️. Thanks you☺️

I wish I came across your video before making a blanket. I've just started. Bummer 😔

Your turning edge was better than the bumpy edge

Thank you! I'm a beginner. I have lost count of how many times I ripped out my first project because the edges look so awful.

7:25 hi, do you have a video incorporating chainless foundation for half Dc (Us) with straight sides. I am struggling with the first row. Many thanks.

👍

Hi Nicki, I'd really like to know where I can buy a crochet hook like the one you're using in this video.

Please, can this be done with a dbl or trpl stitch and a half dbl? Thank you

I'm using chunky yarn and the bumbs are obvious. So, to make it look neat I would probably have to do a border.

im making a single crochet Queen size blanket ni was adding the one stitch at edge n noticed that it wasnt smooth r straight i will undo my blanket bcuz i loke it to look good so that person will refer me to someone else thank u

I'm planniing to make my first blanket using the lemon peel stitch where each row begins with a sc and ends with a dc. How would I incorporate this method of getting smooth edges on the dc side? How does it work in conjunction with your other video on straight edges?

Thank you Nicki. Is this the same way for a 1/2 double (except for the extra loop)? How would a double go?

@NickisHomemadeCrafts

2 жыл бұрын

Yes 😀 for dc I use the alternative turning chain. Check my channel for the vidoe

So in a double or half-double crochet can you just do one chain and get the same effect?

Does this work the same when you're doing back loop only single crochet?

How do you change colors?

So no chain one just do the sc in the first stitch? I never understand why people say they don’t do turning chains. Thank you because I never did understand what they were saying

And please, is there a video with the solution for double crochet?! I cound not find it... :-(
