Hi crochet friend!
Today is a fun new tutorial for you that will be so helpful for those of you making blankets and scarves this Fall: how to crochet a half double crochet foundation chain and a double crochet foundation chain.
Next week, I will be releasing a chunky baby blanket pattern that will use the double crochet foundation chain. I love this blanket and am so excited to share it with you!
Now, I was so intimidated at first when I wanted to try these techniques. But it has become a staple in my crochet now. I love any time I can use one of these foundation chains, and I know you will, too!
If you’re looking for the single crochet foundation chain, you can find that here.
Enjoy the free patterns and videos below!
