In reply to Barbara. Hello, I think this comment was meant for a different post, How to Join Double Crochet Rounds With an Invisible Seam. The same invisible join method can be used for single crochet in the round. You can chain 1 to start the next row of single crochet.

Hoe werkt deze onzichtbare zoom als je het rondje haakt met vasten?

How does this invisible hem work when you crochet the circle with single crochet?

In reply to Kelly. Hello, thanks for the question. When you make a standard double crochet (US terminology), the loop you start with on the hook becomes the loop at the top of the double crochet stitch. So, if you turn and make a double crochet stitch without chaining, the top of the double crochet stitch will not be the right height. The stitch will be scrunched. The Stacked and Standing Double Crochet stitches shown in this video are alternative ways to get the first stitch to the right height without the turning chain.

Hello. Can you explain why I can’t just turn my work and start double crochet without chaining 3? I have watched your video showing how to avoid the gap that the chain 3 leaves. I just can’t understand why you can’t just turn your work and start crocheting with a double crochet. Thanks in advance.
