Advanced techniques: chainless foundation
stitches and no-turning-chain dc and tr
Do you get frustrated with your foundation
chains being too long or short? Learn to create the foundation chain with your
first row and it will never happen again! Do your turning chains create a whole
in your fabric? Learn a new stitch that eliminates turning chains and looks
just like a double or treble crochet stitch. These techniques will transform
the way you crochet and give your items a professional look. You must be
proficient in basic crochet (i.e., feel confident in your crochet abilities)
with a good understanding of how stitches are made in order to take this class. *
