If you’re like me, you learned to start a crochet project with a row of chain stitches. Unfortunately, working into chain stitches can be tedious and lead to frustration before you even get to the fun part! I discovered a quick and easy way to start a project without the chains by creating a crocheted foundation row.

This is a simple skill to learn, but it also provides flexibility at the project’s edge that can’t be matched with a traditional chain row start.

Check out the video tutorial below to get the step-by-step demonstration to create a foundation row.

And, the best part is that you can use this in place of a chain row on any project; it’s fantastic!

So, once you have mastered this skill, you can create comfortable hats, stretch washcloths, and adorable soft edges for sweaters and mittens.

If you’re ready to start but need a little help, book a Solo Stitching Class, and I will walk you through it one-on-one.

Also, you can DM me anytime on Instagram and we can chat. I would love to hear from you!

Happy Stitching!

Hello lovely! Let's get all of the labels out the way so we can talk... I'm a daughter, sister, mother, entrepreneur, writer, podcaster, college graduate, and passionate crafter who has survived raising special needs children, a child with cancer, a heart condition, and becoming a widow at a young age...whew! Made it. But here's the important part... I teach women how to use crochet as a creative outlet for self-care so that they can reduce anxiety and depression, be more mindful and present, and experience joy from their lives. What does that have to do with crafting? EVERYTHING!! Learning creative skills is a great way to care for yourself, activates the creative centers in your brain and lets ideas start to flow, builds self-esteem and confidence, and relieves anxiety and depression symptoms. YEAH, crocheting, knitting, and sewing can do ALL of that! I firmly believe that people WANT to spend time caring for themselves through creativity, but life often gets in the way and the desire to learn gets put on the back burner. Here is your opportunity to finally learn these essential skills and transform your passion into purpose, care for yourself, and feel better! So happy you are here! xo — Lavena
