Working into chains and cast-on knit stitches.

As a rule of łhumb, work 1 słitch into each free side of the Chain along the first row (crochet) or each cast-on stitch (knit), making adjustments as needed.

Working along vertical edges. Stitching along a vertical selvedge is a bit morę challenging. You first need to determine the optimal ratio of foundation stitches to (vertical) rows. You mayfind that you need to work 1 single crochet in every single crochet row or knit row, or you may need another ratio, such as 3 single crochet stitches into every 2 double crochet rows. Curved or uneven edges require a bit morę experimentation to achieve the correct proportion of stitches to rows.

WORKING INTO VERTICAL EDGES

For a double crochet piece. In this example, the hook goes into the selvedge stitch approximately three times tor every 2 double crochet rows along the edge.
