How to Single Crochet Without Making a Chain First
The longer I crochet, the more I find myself trying to avoid making a foundation chain to start a project. They are kinda boring, easy to miscount, and they end up being too tight and can distort your project. Plus, foundation chains look different than the final row, so you often need to add a border to hide them.
Luckily, there is an alternative: Foundation stitches, where you create the chain as you go. It's kind of like a cartoon I remember when they quickly built the train tracks as the train was going down the track.
I shared the Foundation Double Crochet (Foundation dc, or Fdc) in a previous post: https://www.changepathcrochet.com/how.... Since then, I've learned a couple more tricks to make foundation stitches even better. So, this time, I'm showing you how to do the Foundation Single Crochet (Foundation sc or Fsc) with these extra tips added in.
