Just learning to crochet and the chaining at the beginning of a round is the thing I find the most confusing. Some of the tutorials I have seen on you tube say count as a stitch and some say don't count it which is a bit confusing as a newbie. I have been struggling at times and losing and gaining stitches. Today I discovered If I don't count it as a stitch and go into the same space and then start counting I keep the right amount of stitches
