Question
nrlwrites
Hi, I'm an intermediate crocheter by which I mean I know how to do a lot of things but my work is messy (working on getting it better). I'm self-taught and I'm left-handed which makes things more difficult (I do crochet left-handed). I am currently on a Tunisian crochet kick and something I just did that made me wonder about regular crochet.
When you crochet into the foundation chain for the first row it's often difficult to get the stitches under the first chain. I know a lot of designers recommend chaining with a larger hook so the chains are bigger but I don't like doing that. Is there a good reason not to do just that first row into the rib of the chain stitch?
