Wow!! I will be trying this later this afternoon. I have always hated the "gaps" at row's end. This looks easy enough, thanks for posting it.

I am going to try this. Thank you for posting it.

I did it!! It's super for getting rid of those little gaps around the edges. I'm making another prayer shawl and this trick makes the edge so much neater, thank you!

WOW!!! This is SO much easier and makes edges look so much heater. Thank you. for. this tip.

This is a great method. Thanks for sharing it. When I do the turning chain, I chain 1 less that the instructions call for and I make my first stitch into the base of the turning chain. It gives a very nice firm edge. I started doing this years ago when crocheting garments. You need a firm edge for sewing pieces together or you get weird holes in weird places. I will try this also. Thanks again. Betsy

What an awesome idea. I have been experimenting with different ways to eliminate that "hole and bump" for years and was never successful. Thanks for the video showing the perfect way to make a nice straight edge. Hugs, Shelly

Hi,
Thanks Betsy! I don't always follow a pattern but I'm going to try crocheting in the base of the turning chain sometime. Sounds like a neat stitch.
