I usually have a hard time with pictures because I'm left handed. Your explanation was perfect for me it finally clicked! I'm very excited!! I'm assuming/hoping the SC foundation is similar for future projects.

So I come here and learn to do a foundationless double crochet from you. It was easy for you describe it so logically - so much in fact that I was able to figure out the single crochet afterward (same as double, but no yarn over hook at the start).

While this base chain style is nice and stretchy, if you want a more precise measurement or length to start with, you may choose to start with a regular chain for accuracy. I hope that makes sense!LazyTcrochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878152293645942333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756021077321300176.post-44450875844448280092013-12-27T15:26:02.904-05:002013-12-27T15:26:02.904-05:00Thanks for the video tutorial.

When I read your instructions, I was pretty confused because I thought that there has to be a foundation to build on.

I hope I can explain this correctly for other crocheters out there: The first 3 chains are your first double crochet. Insert hook into the 3rd chain from the hook, yarnover and pull through 1 loop (like a chain stitch). This chain stitch is the "last base chain stitch" LazyTCrochet is referring to later on.
