How to make a foundation treble crochet (ftr)

In this DROPS video we show how to make a foundation chain and one row of treble crochet simultaneously.

By using this method it creates a start edge on your work that is more elastic, then what you get when you first ch and then work tr into each ch. It's also very practical when you don't know how many stitches you need to start with for your project.

Make sure to keep a consistent tension so the stitches comes out even on both sides of the row.

Hola Mònica Sí, puedes aplicar esta técnica al modelo 227-19. También puedes usar esta técnica en todos los patrones en los que montes cadenetas y después trabajes una fila de puntos altos sin saltar ninguno (excepto los iniciales para girar).
