Who says you can't teach a new trick to an old dog! ^^ I learned how to crochet a chain less foundation - it's my new favourite trick.
Here is a video on how to do it. This technique made my life easy when I needed a chain of 145 stitches for this hanger cover.
Crochet Hanger Cover:
1. Chain 145 loosely (needs to be long enough to the fit length of the hanger)
2. Sc in 3rd chain from hook, *chain 1, skip next chain, SC in next chain; repeat from * across
3. Chain 2, turn, SC in next chain 1 space, *chain 1, SC in next chain space; repeat from * across
4. Repeat row 2 until the cover is wide enough to fit loosely over hanger; sew or crochet the two long ends together around the hanger
I usually crochet a chain tie for a bow and to this one I added a x-stitch scented sachet.
