# Crochet Tips for a Cleaner Edge

Amanda Saladin | Crochet on Instagram: "You’re not bad at crochet.

Your edge is just uneven because of a step you don’t even need.

When you’re working single crochet, skip the chain 1 at the start of your row. Pull your loop up slightly and work right into that first stitch.

Cleaner edge, same amount of time.
