Even when your stitch count is correct, crochet edges can look uneven or messy. This is often caused by turning chains, edge stitch placement, or the structure of certain stitches.
Common Causes
- Turning chains creating gaps
- Loose edge stitches
- Traditional turning methods leaving uneven edges
- Inconsistent tension at row edges
Techniques for Neater Edges
Double Crochet
DC2TOG at the End of the Row
In the last stitch of each row, work a dc2tog. Turn and chain 2, then make the first double crochet in the first stitch (the dc2tog from the previous row). Continue working the row as normal, finishing each row with another dc2tog.
