Crochet Straight Edges Double Crochet |Quick Crochet hacks, tips & tricks
Crochet Straight Edges Double Crochet | Perfect Every time
It's time for another crochet hack, tips & tricks. Are you tired of your crochet projects looking warped? Using a foundations turning chain will fix your problems. This stitch works great for double crochet stitches or bigger. Most people use chain 3 as their turning chain and the crochet project will come out looking "spacey". Another option is to chain 2 stitches and double crochet back into the same stitch. This might eliminate the gap, but unfortunately is will leave your crochet edges looking lumpy.
With this technique, you will learn how to crochet straight edges perfectly every time.

I like how you pointed out with your crochet hook just which loop to enter.
This is the best crochet tip I have ever seen. The look of my work is starting to be very professional. I thank you very, very much not just for the great tip but also for your generosity in sharing it with all of us. Some people might not want to share a tip this good but the fact that you did just shows what a kind and generous person you are! I wish you all success.
I've been crocheting for a very long time and I'm still learning new tricks. Thank you so much for this.

The *perfect* remedy for uneven crochet edges.
Ingenious! I have aways hated the edge of crochet for this very reason. I hope you have or will do a tutorial on seams when joining two edges ( i.e. sideseams or setting in sleeves).

You're a hero. You should wear a cape at all times.
Short, sweet, to the point. Perfect! I'm not going to waste time regretting that I didn't know this before, but I know it now. My future work will be much better.
Thank you for this!! I’ve been trying to get straight edges for months and this is the only technique that’s worked for me!!

The amazing thing about this method is when doing a border or finished edge you have two chain spaces to go into! Takes the guessing out of where to put them! Love it!
This is the most clear tutorial with foundation chaining I have seen. Up close and showing not just the beginning but how to work into it on the other end. Thank you so much!
This was THE best, simplified, well-explained, easy to understand demonstration that I’ve watched. I’m a beginner and have felt stuck on this. Thank you!!
OMG GIRLLLL!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR TUTORIAL LIKE THIS!! THIS IS LITERALLY GAME CHANGING, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I just tried this and am so pleased with the results. Thanks a million . You are a precious treasure when it comes to crochet.
Great explanation. I’ve watched many videos on this and yours is the best. Thank you.
I wish I could like this video twice! Thank you!
Awesome trick. I've been crocheting 35 years, and this is the first time I've seen this technique.
i literally wish i could like this a million times….. thank you thank you thank you!!
You are a generous genius! So many people hold back information when they teach. Thank you, thank you, thank you for knowing and sharing this!
Nice! Clear, informative and to the point!
Omg, you’re a genius! I’ve been trying to figure this out all day, and here I find your tutorial 😭 THANK YOU!! 🙏🏼
A little proud for myself that I figured out how to finish correctly by myself👉👈 But this turning stitch is really cool and new to me! Thank you🙏
Best crochet tip I've seen! This has completely changed my work! Thank you!
Wow, that's so easy! I'll have to try that on my next project. I love learning new tricks. Thanks for the great video.

Clever! So simple and effective! Thank you 🙏
i love this. you explained slowly and showed us what you meant by stitch, so even complete beginners like me can start recognizing where the stitches start and end. amazing
I've been crocheting for over 35 years and have never even imagined that! Mind blown... I will definitely be trying this and sharing your video.
This was SO helpful. I was making a neck cowl and getting frustrated at the edges. This video SAVED my project! Thank you!!
Thanks for your great quick tutorial! Easy to understand, easy to see, and doesn't take up any time.
Thank you for this! All those gaps in my work, and I didn't know how to fix it...very frustrating! I've tried another video before but yours is so much easier because I can pause it! You also give a better close up of what the stitches look like. I follow you on IG. Thanks again!
I do my edges like that all the time. The edges are always straight and no gaps. Love that tip.

Excellent, helpful video! Thank you for getting straight to the point and for being such an excellent teacher! Thank you!
A beginner crocheter here & I've been using this turn stitch every since I saw your video. Thanks for the tip.
I love your channel, thank you for actually getting to the point!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank god I stopped to look more at the basics before starting a bigger project, hope this works :)
SO EASY!! Fantastic tip, I love this. I also appreciate your straight-to-the-point nature of the video, and the bright color of the yarn against the white background- that greatly helps us viewers see what you're showing us, even in low-res (I did up mine to mid-res. for even better viewing). Thank you so much.
Excellent video! Straight to the point, easy to follow, and very helpful. Thank you!
I am just happy as a clam. Fantastic! THANK YOUUUUU!!! If you were here I'd hug you, haha ☺️ You made my day. Beautiful edge, just gorgeous.
Omg! New subscriber here. I'm crocheting a blanket now and wanted to find how to get cleaner edges, so with my search I stumbled upon your channel. I tried this stitch, and geez what a difference! I started watching your other videos and now I'm "HOOKED" 😆. Thank you so much for the clear, close up instructions. This will forever change my crocheting! Thank you!
OMG I needed this video, thank you I can't believe how good my work looks now....yesss
Excellent. Straightforward. Makes it easy.
Thank you so much! My ends always have the holes on turns, and to me it ruins an otherwise lovely piece of work. Thank you thank you for this tutorial on fixing this problem. 🎉👏👏

Omg thank you I’ve been wondering about that for 40 years
I'm undoing my work so I can go back and use this haha. Thank you for sharing!!!
This is my favorite method for straight edges. And trust me, I’ve tried several
This is my favorite way to turn my work, you did a great job of explaining it!! I hope more people use it, it truly makes work look professional! ♡♡♡
Yay! This is my new favorite way to turn my work! There are a lot of different suggestions out there, but this is by far the easiest and least fiddly!
just used this fabulous "straight-edge" hack with a linked double crochet!! Amazing! Thank you!
This looks EPIIIIIIIC!!!!!!! I sorta learned how to crochet a few years ago, but now I REALLY wanna learn how to actually do it and feel confident and create beautiful and fun projects! Gonna check out some more of your vids! 😊❤👍
Oh. My. Goodness!!!! For this first time in my crocheting career, I have actually got beyond the first 10 rows of my piece without tossing it aside in frustration at the wonky edges!! Saved and subscribed - thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video, I've been trying to learn how to foundation crochet and no one makes it as simple as you have ❤
if i could give this 100 likes, i would. I love it so muchhh
I’m glad I stopped making my blanket to watch this. The edges are just so frustrating!! You are seriously amazing for sharing this; thank you so much!!
Thank you! I‘m self taught and have always struggled hen turning at the end of the row - especially when it comes to determining what the last stitch in the row actually is. You broke it down beautifully!
Straight to the point, well explained and very helpful for a crochet beginner like me :) thank you!
Thank you so much, I don't crochet a lot but always have had trouble with the sides. Thanks great information I will use.
This is such a life changing and much easier way to explain to new crocheters also how to keep edges neat. It looks wonderful and it’s so nice not to have to do a border unless you want to!
At last someone has demonstrated this brilliant step. I have found my own way around this issue but your way is much better. Thanks 🙏
Where have this been all my crochet life. Great thanks a bunch😊😊😊
Yes! That makes for a more neat finished look. That will make my dog sweaters look much nicer

My daughter just adopted a dog & I'm working on a sweater for him right at this very moment - which is why I looked up this video (just recently found you). Hope you're able to have the new video out soon! And may I suggest using reflective yarn? Red heart has it & I've only seen it available online, not in stores yet. Thank you so much!! 🐕
I am pushing 60 yo. Aunties taught me 50 years ago;) I crocheted a lot and haven’t for a bit. LOVE your channel. Great!!!! Hacks!!! Just ADORE you!! Thanks so much
All my decades, I wish I knew this hack. Thank you!
WOWWW!!! I was always so frustrated on why my edges looked all messed up and wondered how other people got perfect edges! I saved this video to my playlist incase I need to come back to watch again
OMG! I've been crocheting for about 25 years and this is mindblowing. Thank you SOOO much. Now my work will be much better. ❤👌
Finally the perfect edge Thank You🧶🧶🧶
Oh my gosh - this was by far the best tutorial I've seen. THANK YOU.
So clear. Exactly what I needed. Thanks very much!
Learnt something new...brief, smart and easy to follow...thank you...
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I love this method to get straight double crochet edges. I am struggling with learning how to change yarn color (like stripes in a blanket or scarf) with this method. Would you please consider doing a follow up video with changing colors while keeping straight edges in double crochet? You do a great job of explaining crochet steps. Thank you!
Thank you thank you. What a difference this has made. Finally can not only make straight edges but my count is always right on. Thank you!!
Thank you, this will make my projects look better.

Finally I have perfect edges!!! You rock!!! This was a very helpful hint that I can use!! Thank you soooo very much!!!
This is absolutely GENIUS!! This will be especially good for making stuffed crochet items. I have always gone around the seams with a warning needle and yarn to 'close up' all the gaps but will no longer need to do this. THANK YOU!!!! Edited to add: Subscribed!
Thank you!! Always love learning new hacks!!!!
Thank you sooo much, now my edges are so straight 🤗🤗🩷🩷

Thank you. I can do the middle part of my projects fine but I’ve been fighting with edges for years and this actually works. I’m so happy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excellent! Usually if you follow the pattern it looks ugly. Thank you for this.
