Boye Crochet
Crochet: Beginner needs help making sense of an instruction?
Hi, I am about to make a Beginner bag using my Boye "I Taught Myself Crochet" book, and I can't even make sense of the first instruction.
It says: Foundation chain: Using 1 strand each color held together, chain 37.
What does the 1 strand each color held together mean?
I'm assuming that by 1 strand each color, they mean that this project is made with more than one color yarn. You would just hold the strands of yarn together, and chain crochet 37 stitches. This is your base, or foundation, chain. In any crochet project you do, you will begin with a base chain. You crochet off of this chain and then when you reach the end you do an extra chain stitch and turn your work. Then you can begin on the next row.
