0:29
spots within some patterns that I designed. Again, I'm here to help you, the modern crocheter
0:35
cheer rate your hand-meet closet. So happy to have you here with me, Courtney of Creations by Courtney, to demonstrate how to make a
0:56
foundation double crochet and join. in the round. All right. So we start with our slip knot and put a loop on the hook. So for many people
1:09
and again, I've seen it done many ways, we can do the first foundation double crochet by chaining
1:16
three, yarn over, insert your hook into the back bump of the first chain. You yarn over
1:25
pull through one loop that makes the chain and then yarn over pull through two yarn over pull
1:30
two through two so this is one method for starting but i'm going to show you a different method that
1:38
um i really like so this is fine but it does give this gap and for me when i'm working i do not count
1:45
this as the first oval crochet you can but definitely pay attention to the instructions of the
1:51
pattern that you're following if it says to do that um in the traditional way okay so I'm
1:59
gonna actually pull one chain out and so we're gonna have two left okay actually let me
2:06
adjust this a little bit okay so the other option is to chain two all right yarn over
2:17
actually excuse me chain two insert your hook into the back bump of the chain closest to you pull up a loop So now you have two And now insert your hook into the first chain pull up a loop You have three loops So from here you going to yarn over pull through one
2:38
This makes the chain, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over, pull through two
2:45
So this is an alternative, and so it's much like a linked stitch
2:51
So what this does is it brings that in and it minimizes the space even more
2:57
So you get a nice little neat edge. And so you can even do this with a chain three and just skipping that first one
3:04
But for me, I like to do with a chain too. And so to make the next foundation double crochet, we do this in a traditional way, yarn over
3:14
Insert your hook under the loops of the chain of the first one
3:20
over pull up a loop, yarn over pull through one, yarn over pull through two, yarn over pull through two
3:28
So look at that. Looks just the same, right? So let's make a total of 19
3:37
So we have two and so we'll just keep going until we have 19 and I will see you back there in which I will show you how to now join in the round for a total of
3:50
20 foundation double crochets. They're here
4:57
They here they here They here The kids down they getting get it they here They here Okay. Okay
5:45
Sorry, sorry, so, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, so, all right so now we have 19 foundation double crochet one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven
7:13
twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen nineteen nineteen nineteen nineteen now if the
7:18
instructions say have a total of say fifty foundation double crochet and then join in the round
7:25
rather than the traditional right we folded over insert our hook through the first stitch and then we slip stitch right so what happens is that you have this big old gap and instructions usually say make sure you have a
7:43
long tail so that you can seam this clothes later so with this method you don't have to
7:50
worry about that is that you can attach all in the first go-round and that's one
7:56
less thing to weave in yeah this is still there but if it's a
8:00
garment, there's probably an edging. So yarn over, insert your hook underneath the chain
8:08
yarn over, pull up a loop. So you have three loops. All right. So when making this last one
8:18
the last foundation double crochet is used to join in the round. So again, you start as usual
8:24
you yarn over, you insert your hook under the last chain made, yarn over, pull up a loop
8:30
and have three. So fold it over and then move the tail out of the way and again this is the first one
8:40
and because we did this method this is actually the first chain okay so insert your hook
8:48
through yarn over pull through the stitch and through one loop off of the hook right so this is now the
8:58
new, you can adjust it. And now you have the chain for the last one. And yarn over, pull through two
9:05
yarn over, oops, yarn over, pull through two. So now you have your next foundation double crochet
9:13
and now you can just slip stitch to join. And now, there you have it. You have your foundation
9:21
double crochet in the round. That's all there is to it. And so now you get to save yourself a little bit of
9:28
time. Hope you found that helpful. If you want to know how to do this with a foundation half double
