Cathy,
Thanks for that research, however, I would like to add my  two cents, that 
is
what it is worth. Most directions state "chain amount  then turn" In my 
mind,
I have followed these instructions, however, I have  recently been taught,
Turn and then do your chains. Why, because, if you  turn first you will Not
twist your yarn and your working yarn will be in  the back, which is the
correct position to then make your next chains. This  makes your edge,
smoother and more defined, try this and see if you notice  a difference.

Hello once again,

As the club's unofficial researcher, I  just could not help myself. So here
is a list of the number of chains in a  turning chain to use with different
stitches.

Turning Chain  Lengths

The length of the turning chain depends on the height of the  stitch you are
crocheting. Tall stitches require more chains; short  stitches require fewer
chains.

Here are suggestions for turning  chain lengths for the most basic crochet
stitches.
Note that these are  only suggestions; feel free to use a turning chain of
any length that  achieves your objective for the project you are crocheting.

list of 5  items
. Single Crochet Stitch:
A single chain stitch is usually used as  a turning chain when working rows
of single crochet.
. Half Double  Crochet Stitch:
Turning chain is typically two stitches . Double Crochet  Stitch:
Turning chain is typically three stitches . Treble Crochet  Stitch:
Turning chain is typically 4 stitches
. Double Treble Crochet  Stitch:
Turning chain is typically 5 stitches
list  end
Cathy
