I was looking up patterns to make some baby headbands for a baby shower gift and came across some tutorial videos for chainless foundations. It was perfect for the headbands because it made them a little stretchier than if it would have started with chains. The videos are By Teresa at crochet-mania.blogspot.com. Here are direct links to the Foundation single crochet, Foundation Half Double Crochet, and Foundation Double Crochet

ReplyDeleteI have a little baby girl on the way, I'm 38 weeks now, so wishing she will come soon! This project seems simple enough.. But It's very hard for me to follow a patter, I never have yet.
