Learn to Crochet: Different Ways to Work Into the Starting Chain

Learn to Crochet: Different Ways to Work Into the Starting Chain. Free Video Tutorial. Click to Tweet

There are a number of different ways you can work into the starting chain. The different ways which are demonstrated in this video tutorial include:

• working in the back bump only
• working in the back bump and back loop
• working in the back loop only
• working in the back and front loop

Each option produces a slightly different edge to your starting chain.

Some options work better for different types of crochet stitches too 🙂

The video clearly demonstrates where you will find each loop, discusses tips and tricks and explains the benefits of using the different loops for your crochet projects.
