So, what exactly makes foundation stitches superior to the classic foundation chains? Let's delve into their benefits:
1. Improved Tension and Flexibility: Foundation stitches create a more flexible and stretchy foundation for your crochet projects. Unlike foundation chains, which tend to be tighter, these stitches allow your work to expand naturally, resulting in a more comfortable and accurate fit.
2. Time and Yarn Efficient: With foundation stitches, you can say goodbye to the extra step of chaining and then working into those chains. These stitches eliminate the need for a separate foundation chain, saving you time and reducing the yarn consumption. This efficiency is especially crucial when working on larger projects.
3. Customisable Length: Foundation stitches provide the freedom to easily adjust the length of your foundation row. Whether you need to add or subtract stitches, the flexibility of these stitches allows for effortless modifications, giving you greater control over your projects.
