i do the 1st row with SC, chain 1 or 2 or 3 between holes... (this depends on size of yarn and hook as to the number of chains, as well as what the second row or pattern is going to be).. in the corner.. i would co SC,ch2,SC this gives a nice sharp turn... if doing a straight edge, i make one last row of "ric rack" crochet (or known as backwards crochet)... use a size smaller hook, for some reason this works.. but makes a nice looking solid edge...
hope this helps..

people are using a piece of Fleece Fabric.. cut to the size they want, and then do the "crochet" technique to border or "edge" around it... it's especially nice for little boys, that you don't want to be all "frilly" with...
I do crochet do I may sound a little stupid here...how to start the actual crochet. What are you "hooking" onto to start the actual crochet?
