Hello to all. Happy New Year

[Gillda]

When I was a child my friend's grandmother taught us how to crochet granny squares and we had loads of fun making blankets for our dolls. I only recently began to crochet again so need all the help I can get. I am trying to crochet slipper boots (cos they look so cool) but I am having trouble joining the chain to form a circle. I have to chain 30 and join in a ring but always seem to twist it and have to start again. Is there a trick to ensure the chain does not twist? Help!! Thanks

Welcome to the Forum. I crochet doilies. I think it does not matter if chain twists. But if you worry about it I can recommend you to crochet 30 SCs over chain 30 and after it join to the ring.

Hello and welcome to the crochet forums! Not sure if this video will help you or not, but hope it does.

Welcome to crochet talk. There are lots of wonderful crocheters here.
When I have a long chain to join, I work the second row and then join. Then I go back when I'm finished and join the very first row with the beginning yarn tail. I always leave a long tail when I start a project. Hope this helps.
