Learn to Crochet - The Double Foundation Chain

The double foundation chain (also called the "double base chain" or "Japanese Foundation Row") is anotehr way to begin a crochet project. One of the great benefits of the double foundation chain is that is gives your crocheted piece greater elasticity than a straight chain. Because of that elasticity this is a great way to start a hat that is being worked from the brim up or for a sleeve.

Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to quickly decide if you'd like to use a chain or a double foundation chain in your project. You'll also know how to do it when you encounter a pattern that asks for this type of foundation row.
