CROCHET STRAIGHT EDGES IN 1 MINUTE!! Crochet Hacks, Tips & Tricks

Straight Edges Crochet Hack
Are you tired of your crochet projects looking warped? Using a foundations turning chain will fix your problems. I’m going to teach you how to crochet straight edges every time. 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 crochet hack, you will learn how to crochet straight edges perfectly every time. If you are looking for more crochet tips and tricks

    I have a question. Do you do the same thing at the end of the tow before you turn? Like would the last stitch in the row be the stacked singles? I'm learning a lot and appreciate all that you do! Thank you 💘

    I love how close you hold the yarn and hook to the camera and how you point to individual strands. That's really helpful and what a lot of other tutorial videos lack.

    Yep. Miss Littlejohn is one of my favorites bc she teaches about crocheting and does a superb job. And she doesn't blab mindlessly, or tell us about all her ills or problems, or vacations, or family members, or let her pets or kids interrupt her, or apologize for things that shouldn't have happened in the first place, bc they don't happen at all.❤
