This was really helpful. I have only been crocheting for a few months and I learned the front loop crochet way of doing it. I didn’t realize that the usual way of doing it was through both loops. Your pictures are very clear and have made it easier for me to understand how to do the different stiches. Thank you so much! If anyone should be writing the crochet manuals for beginners it should be you!

Hi Jean! Some times when people crochet the tension in a chain is tighter than the tension in a stitch. So try making the chain on the edges a little looser. Also if it is still not straight, try to block your crochet. Here is some info about blocking crochet.
