I have been crocheting for years, but sometimes I just can’t seem to get my edges neat. There are a couple of new to me ideas here.

This applies to knitting as well. You might love the sweater you made in yellow and want to make one in green. Without making a sample, it may be larger or smaller than the original just from the effects of the colour of the yarn/thread.

A technique known as “turning single crochet” or “stacked single crochet” is used when doing a double crochet project. Instead of a Ch 2 or Ch 3 on turning, you SC in the first stitch. Insert your hook under the vertical bar and work a second SC on top of the first SC to bring it to DC height. You could call this “stacking”. Here’s a video showing you what to do:

My one crochet end looks so scruffy? How can I get it like my other side which is great. I am a beginner. I am doing beehive stitch. Thanks x
