Are you fed up of that ugly step at the very beginning of your foundation chains round? I have the solution and it is unbelievably simple.
Is it a crochet game changer?

This technique can even be used in subsequent rounds to create the neatest round join and start to each new crochet round. <<< this is a bold statement, but you’ll see just how neat round joins for double crochet (US single), half treble crochet (US half double) and treble crochet (US double crochet) can become with this new method.
