Remember the old Beatles song?
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
Of course you don't remember. But your (grand)mother does...
Well, we're going to talk about a different kind of chains... the kind you can see... and many have a love-hate relationship with them.
But just like the Slipknot, they form the foundation of crocheting - much like love is the foundation of any romantic relationship.
In this tutorial I will explain how to make a foundation chain. Baby steps... you will be crocheting like a pro before you know it. Enjoy making miles of chains in the meantime!
In crochet, the chain stitch is usually abbreviated as "cs".
Note that in future lessons I will cover the chainless foundation stitch - not only will it be easier to work with, but is looks nicer too. But let's start with the conventional method of making a foundation first.
Ready? Did you get your slipknot done?
