Where to use chains

Q. Hi my name is Iesha and i am trying really hard to crochet. I have watched all your videos but i keep getting stuck on where i need to make another chain...... can you help me?

A. Sure, I will try to answer your question! At first, the main place you'll need to use chains is to start your project out, then you'll also need to use chains at the end of each row.

At the end of the row:
a. if you'll be crocheting in single crochets, you'll use 2 chains first.

b. If you'll be crocheting in double crochets, you'll use 3 chains first.

Does that make any sense? Let me know.

Chains at end of row

Q. when you are turning at the end of the first row, and after you skip 3 holes to turn, after that how many holes do you skip? and do you follow this same routine for the 3rd row?

********

A. First, you must know (or decide) which kind of a stitch you'll be making in the next row.

If you will be making a single crochet row, then you need to chain 1 (or whatever your patterns says)
.
If you'll be making a double crochet row, you will need to chain 3.

I have never seen more than 3 chains at the end of a row.
