Purpose for Chain at the beginning of round - Many times I will use a chain at the beginning of the round. It will not count as a stitch. I use it as a step up so I can work the full crochet stitch in place of the traditional chain. I feel this technique has a neater appearance than working a chain. You may use a chain 2 or 3 if you prefer using traditional crochet techniques.
