The foundation single crochet is a stitch that can be used in place of a starting chain. Its ability to allow an on-the-fly decision about project width can save you time and anguish, so let’s take a look at why the foundation single crochet stitch is an essential stitch for any crocheter who doesn’t like ripping out their work!

What is a Foundation Single Crochet Stitch or FSC?
基础单钩针针脚,或基础SC(FSC),是单钩针线圈由锚定到自身,而不是工作在现有的链式线迹行制造。这意味着,如果你希望你的第一行中的10个单钩针针,你不需要先11条的链式线迹。你可以直接进入让你的10个单钩针针为你的第一个工作行。
为什么设计人员使用它?
Not having to work a starting chain row can be useful in so many ways, especially for designers who are starting a pattern from scratch! When you want to start a project with a certain width, and knowing your gauge, you can guesstimate at how many stitches you’d need to start with. You add 1 to your desired number of stitches and that’s your starting chain stitch count. At the end of the chain stitch row, you turn and work single crochet stitches into each chain stitch. However, sometimes you find that the resulting row is either too long or too short. If that happens, you have to rip out the entire single crochet row, and often the entire chain stitch row as well, since those stitches tend to get stretched out and gives the piece a messy edge.
However, if you start with a foundation single crochet row, or a chainless single foundation row, you’re making up the width as you go. When you stop at your target number of stitches, you can make adjustments right there by adding or ripping out individual stitches instead of entire rows. The row you start next will be your SECOND working row, instead of your first working row. How cool is that?
I love starting with chainless foundation rows when I’m experimenting with a new design. It really gives me the flexibility to make changes to the starting row without wasting a lot of time or energy. And no one likes ripping out rows of work!
我找到工作无链roundations另一个好处是,针比传统的链式线迹多stretchier(如下图所示)。我倾向于让我的链式线迹更严格的比我工作的针,在心态,我想保持一个干净的边缘。这意味着,我的开始边缘有时最终会比片的其余部分更紧密的和有弹性的少。它还扭曲了我的项目开始我压力表测量。
You can see that I’ve used a foundation single crochet row to start my福克斯指手套和我的Bunny Cozy。Both of these projects need some extra stretch at the beginning of the project, without adding too much extra stitches into the round itself. I also used foundation single crochet stitches at the beginning of my top-down仙境开衫,又因为我不想过于紧张或收缩衣领。
你如何决定何时使用一个无链条基金会?
除了基础的单钩针针,还有一个基础半双钩针version, and a foundation double crochet version. They are all similar to each other and produce stitches like their traditional counterparts. The foundation double crochet row would be the tallest of the 3 options.
You can use a foundation single crochet row anytime a project calls for a row of single crochet stitches in its first working row. If you’re unsure of your gauge or if you need to alter a pattern for fit and sizing, you may want to consider starting the project with a chainless foundation. Even if the pattern asks you to work a certain number of chain stitches, you can convert that to foundation single crochet stitches. Here’s how:
Let’s say a pattern asks you to work 26 chain stitches. Then starting with the 2nd chain from your hook, to work 1 single crochet stitch in each chain stitch across, for a total of 25 single crochet stitches. To convert that to a chainless foundation, all you have to do is work 25 foundation single crochet stitches! Then you can turn your work and follow the rest of the pattern as written. This way, you can easily adjust patterns if you’re gauge is not quite correct, and gives you more control your own project.
Things to Watch Out For When Working Chainless Foundation Stitches
一个钩针基础行可以更具延展性than a chain stitch row, which can be a bonus, or it can actually detract from your project is it’s too loose. One way to combat this is to use a smaller hook for the foundation row. If the pattern calls for a 4.00mm hook for the body of the piece, you can try using a 3.5mm or a 3.75mm hook for the foundation single crochet row. This will give you the stretch you want without looking too ruffled.
Another tip to keep in mind is if right side and wrong side rows are important in your pattern, or if it’s important where your beginning tail lies. When you work a chain stitch row, and then work a single crochet row back across, your beginning tail will be on the左下方of a right facing row. Your second row (the single crochet stitches) is your right side row. Working a chainless foundation row will keep the beginning tail on the右下of a right facing row, and your second row will be your wrong side row. The tail placement shouldn’t be important in most cases, but if you need that tail for seaming or for an accent, it’ll be important to note. And if you’re doing work where right side and wrong side rows are important, you’ll want to take care in how this affects your design.
在一般基础还行需要更长的时间进行。你基本上在同一时间工作2行,而且也涉及到各针脚更多的步骤。我相信好处是值得的!
打破单一钩针缝合的基础
好了,现在你知道什么时候以及如何使用基础钩针单排,让我们深入到制造的原理!因为我们正在努力无链,基金会一行将在一针一线打造自己的链。因此,每个基础单钩针针会创建自己的链式线迹被下一个FSC使用。因为它不用它让自己的基础!

Written Instructions for the FSC Crochet Stitch
First, tie a slip knot onto your hook.
1.Start with 2 chains on the hook.
2。插入你的钩子进入第一链(这是从钩第二链)。纱过来,拉了一个循环。
3。Yarn over and pull up through ONLY the first loop on hook. This creates your first “chain stitch”.
4。在纱并通过你的钩子两个循环拉。这样就完成了第一单的基础钩针针!
5.要创建第二个单钩针针,插入勾成你在步骤3中创建取决于纱线的“链式线迹”,这种链式线迹可能会有点难以看到。如果你发现你有问题,你可以随时添加一针标记时,你的链式线迹,以纪念它,直到你更熟悉承认链式线迹。
6.纱过来,拉了一个循环。
7。纱过来,拉了一个循环来创建你的下一个链式线迹。
8。Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook to complete your next single crochet stitch.
等等等等。对于每一个基础单钩针针,工作变成以前的链式线迹制成,并拉起循环。创建另一个链式线迹,然后完成单钩针。你可以看到拉伸马上并相应调整!
The bottom of the foundation row looks like full chains, which gives your edge a nice clean look.
The stitches you’ll work into on your next row are at the top of the foundation row. They’re also an easy to recognize V-shape. To begin your next row, simply chain the indicated number of stitches, turn, and work into the Vs of the previous row (as indicated by the white arrows below)。
我希望本教程给你一个什么样的基础行,以及如何在你的钩针的工作有更好的控制有很好的理解!

Love this video and can’t wait to try this foundation instead of chaining (which I HATE lol). I really LOVE to crochet but my stuff always looks so amateur. I really want to try to figure out what I’m doing wrong so that my projects look more giftable. I want to try a scarf but can never keep my chain from twisting so thinking this might really help. Thanks for a great video!

首先,感谢您的指导。一旦你完成了FSC纱线股从底部上来。你怎么又开始回到2号排在纱线不是从顶部到来?此外,由于你在做一次链条和行,当你把做第二排你的工作错误的一边。你只是没有有关担心和发扬?那有意义吗?

Thank you so much for the tutorial! It looks beautiful!

谢谢你的“精确“的视频。我想工作FSC的婴儿毯,开始行太有弹性。
所以,现在我要与你的提示重新启动:DOWN SIZE钩FSC。这应该工作。
Now, I can settle in on my floor mat and watch movies while working the blanket !
Keep the creativity flowing. I have made a few of your designs created for LION BRAND . All ***** .

感谢您的良好的信息和视频。我一直在钩针,因为我是8和60年还没有学会这一点。老狗新把戏!

Very nice indeed.

谢谢。你是出于搜索的用于与基础十字绣开始时解释说,“错误的一边VS右侧的”时间的唯一物品。我在做一个大型挂毯风格阿富汗,但我不知道如何阅读模式,如果我已经在无链基础上我的第一行开始。如果我理解正确的话,我将开始我的毯子的“错误”的一面。
