Oh I am so thrilled to hear that it helped you Summer!! 😊 Us crocheters gotta stick together 💪

I have watched half a dozen videos on foundation double crochet, and yours is by far the best! I like the way you explain by dividing the stitch into foundation, and then double crochet. You’re also the only person to clearly explain how to find the foundation stitch and where exactly to insert the hook. Thank you so much for your excellent teaching method!

Happy it was helpful for you!!! Thank you for visiting ❤️

Exactly what I was missing in other excellent foundation crochet tutes: the loops closest to you are where the hook is inserted. Thank you for explaining a simple method yet not easy to comprehend if you are unfamiliar with the stitch. In-person demos usually trump online, unfortunately. Thankfully, I finally get it!

After years of crocheting and having just learned this in recent months watching lots of videos I finally get it. Thank you. I was having the hardest time figuring out where the next stitch goes.

After going through heaps of tutorials and being confused, I'm so happy I finally found this one! Thanks for how clear this is!

Yes, that was me last night lol... this is giving me a glimmer of hope in being able to start a double crochet lol

For years I have been trying to figure out the FDC and even had written instructions but you really illustrated how it is done (been crocheting for 48 years)! TY! TY! TY!!!!

Your explanation of the foundation dc was the first (of 3 that I watched) that made sense to me. Thank you for a job well done. Nice to learn a new skill.

same, the explanation really helped me understand where I was putting my hook to make the next foundation ch and dc.

I have watched so many tutorials on foundation stitches and never understood but this one was so clear. Explaining the WHAT with the how was so useful. Now that I know, oh here I am making a foundation first before the next double crochet it is just like... mind-blowingly simple. I'm so pleased. Thank you. Well done. I also appreciate that you got to the point quickly without fussing about on other topics. Definitely subscribing.

Thank you! Did a great job if explaining that going through that first stitch was creating the foundation chain. And also showing how to go into the foundation chain. Very thorough. It was the 4th one I watched and the only one that really went through, showed everything and explained everything too.

Thank you your wonderfully detailed explanation of the foundation dc. I was always intimidated by this stitch and never had success with it. Now I feel confident I can master it. Again, thank you so much.

At last! Someone who has not only provided a beautifully clear video, but an explanation of how this all works. I've seen some videos of foundation double crochet in which, after the initial pull through of the yarn (making three loops on the hook), that first chain is worked TWICE, followed by the double crochet. I've found it all really confusing but I'm going to follow your instructions because they actually make sense. Thank you :)

WOW! I think I actually understood this one! Gonna try it tomorrow after I've had some sleep! Last night I tried to follow along with numerous other tutorials on other channels, snd ended up with tangled up trapezoids... this one at least looked like it had some sort of sensible structure! Thank you so much!

Thank you Kay! I'm glad you liked it!!😁

I watched several double crochet foundation videos before I came across this one... you did a fantastic job answer questions I had from watching the other videos, like how can I find the foundation chain I just made and how do I know my stitch count if I lose track. Thank you so much for your easy to understand tutorial. I've been crocheting for half of my life and am just learning this new skill!

Thank you SO much. The use of the term Foundation Chain plus showing the difference between those 3 types of stitches was Exactly what I needed. so very helpful! Best explanation after watching about 5 of these. Their saying ‘the last stitch ‘ was totally unclear. Thanks again! 😀😀😀

I need to practice this way of chaining! You explain it slowly and describe as you go along. I've always wanted to learn this. The videos I usually watch I am unsucribing from. I liked her at first but now I can see her for who she really is and I don't like what I see. I don't think she cares about losing even one person unsubscribing. I now watch you. You respond when someone asks you a question. Thank you. It shows that you care about your viewers and what they view. ♥

Thank you. Your instructions were so clear and easy to follow.

Great tutorial. I love how you explain it. Thank you so very much.

Thank you for your clear instruction both verbally and visually!

Great turtorial! You make it easy to understand and follow along ☺️

Best video on how to do this, explained really well, thank you.

I watched multiple videos and yours is the only one that made me understand it. Thank you!

Thank you so very much for your amazing tutorial. I looked at a few videos and it just didn’t ‘click’ how to do this. After watching yours, I can proudly say I am able to do this method. Thanks so very much!

Thank you for a clear and concise explanation and tutorial.

Thank you for explaining this. The best tutorial I have found

Thank you! I could not get this stitch right until I found your video. Your explanation is thorough and clear and I can see where the hook enters the chain. At last! Now, back to the sweater video... 🥰

Pretty awesome demonstration....replayed over and over and finally I think I got it! Thank you so much :) Have a great day :)

Thank you for sharing your work. You make it very easy to understand.

My crochet hooks again. Thanks for re-teaching me the right way again

Another tip that can help with that weird roll when your foundation chains are too small size up a hook just for the foundation chain

Thank you it finally clicked after watching your video!

Very nice demonstration, Thank-you.

Thank you for the clarity! This was so helpful.

Oh thank you from a terrified knitter. That was the easiest video I've found. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My biggest problem with making the foundation row is I can’t SEE which stitch is the foundation chain I’m supposed to pick up on the next foundation dc. Especially working small black yarn is so frustrating.

Thank you! This is very helpful. :) I hated having to make chains, they seem to get tight.

Great tutorial. I have been trying to learn but it is the first time that I really understand . I subscribed to your channel. Thank You 🙏

This sort of reminds me of tunisian crochet just minus doing that one row going from right to left. Neat stuff!

First time I think I can do it! I have had to pass on so many patterns because I couldn’t do it.

Me too! Cant believe how easy it is in the end, this really helped

I enjoyed your video and liked it. I am doing a wave baby blanket. I'm having problem ending on second row, trying to figure out which is first dc in row one. This is my first time trying chainless. In video you show 2 rows being done but do not show the second row, ending with dc in first dc.

Thank you so much for this video as i did a sc Foundation ended up with an arch but this will help me in future x

An excellent tutorial. I'm having to keep on remembering the different terminology used in the US from what is used in the UK. What you call a double crochet we call a treble.

Wow! The best tutorial I have come across on how to do this starting row. I personally prefer it for everything because my single starting crochet always gets wound and looks like a spring regardless of the size I use and it gets twisted and makes my starting row look bad (and I never seem to notice until I am at least 5 rows up into my project... Let's just say I have started way too many over). The question I always have is that first chain of 4 starting, does that count as part of my "chain" number? For example, I need to chain 38 to start and I DO count it will I be short by one?

Thanks so much, best tutorial I've come across. Makes total sense now x

I had been looking for this technic for awhile. I had done it once before and finished a beautiful blanket. After awhile I I had stopped crocheting and picked up my cross stitching. Started crocheting again and forgot how to start this tecnice

Love your tutorial best!

Yes! I do it!!! Thank you very much!!!!

How do I count them ? I mean does the chain at the start count as one or idk what else?

Well isn't that easy I have been crocheting for years and have just come across this in a pattern! It sounded really complicated and I hate crocheting into a chain!!! Thank you very much for your help!

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

I'm trying to follow your tutorial but am having difficulty completing that first stitch. I cannot find that bar at the back that you refer to. Can you help?

Great tutorial. Thank you. When I count do I use the “v” on top or bottom? I’ve never seen it explained what to do after you finish the foundation.

Very helpful and thanks. It was a little difficult to see the stitch you were going through, though.

Uuuuugggghhh! This is so incredibly hard I'm so confused. When you yarn over and set your hook through the foundation chain do you bring it through once or twice and then do a double crochet?

Great tutorial!

Thank you! Very helpful!!!

How do you count these? As you go? My pattern says to do Fdc 136
