http://craftingfriendsdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/02/double-crochet-foundation-chain-photo.html
If you prefer a basic beginning chain, chain the required amount + 3 extra, turn, dc in 3rd chain from hook and each
chain across
Reverse sc: working from left to right, insert hook from front to back in next stitch to the right, yo, pull loop through
stitch, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook
Notes:
- This pattern uses standing stitches instead of turning chains. If you prefer to use a turning chain, chain 1 and turn for all rows starting with a sc, chain 2 and turn for all rows starting with hdc, chain 3 and turn for all rows starting with a dc (ch-2 and ch-3 would count as stitches)
- When changing colors, do so in the last step of the last stitch of the row before the color change
- Color sections are worked in counts of 4 rows to allow you to carry your yarn up the edge of the throw instead of fastening off each color
- The Border section adds 4” to each side of the throw. Take this into consideration when customizing the foundation to your desired size
