How to Crochet 101 - DOUBLE CROCHET

First of all I want to thank you for such an informative video. My problem is that i have about 12 rows done and i am noticing that it is going up in a diagonal on the sides. Seems i am adding stiches or something. I chain 3 turn and go into the 4th stitch, but i think my counting is wrong do i count from the chain that is on my hook? Plus at the end of a row i am going into the "chain 3" part and creating a stitch from that. I know im doing something wrong. Please help

I new to this but I think I know what has happened. The skip 4 stiches is only on the chain, the very first time you flip your work.
After you have completed your first row of "crochets" you will not need to skip any more. Watch the video again, and see if this helps.

The chain 3 will count as the first double crochet.You will not put a double crochet in the chain at the beginning of the row. What you do is work the double crochet in the next stitch. Count your stitches as you are working the row so you know your count is accurate. That should eliminate the diagonal.

Thank you. Do you also have a video on how to tie in the ends when changing colors on a blanket or just tying in the ends. For years and years i just knot and weave in but little ends pop out and it looks ugly...i dont know what else to try. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me

hello, i am 11 years old and i am trying to make a scarf for my mom for christmas. But i need some help. First of all why do u have to skip stitches? Someone told me u don't have to. Please help me!

Skipping stitches will depend on the pattern and stitch that you are using. If you are making a scarf out of single crochet, you will not skip any stitches.
