Need help with crochet instructions for blanket

Submitted by alice laura on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 16:55

Part of a new baby blanket pattern reads: skip 3 stitches, FPtr crochet around next stitch, go back and hdc behind in skipped stitches, hdc in next 2 sts. I keep trying this but it does not look like the photo at all so I must be doing something wrong. I am skipping 3 hdcs, FPtr around next stitch, then going back to the far right stitch, I am working hdc in the 3 skipped stitches (from right to left). Can you help me with this?

Back Post Stitch

Do a few rows and Stretch and work the Yarn as you go >
You will see the 3D looking effect with this Post stitch.
The back stitches do seem like they aren't working out the beginning rows >
BUT they will > and You will be happy with your Creation !
Blessed Baby to receive this fancy pattern !

Have you done the next row?

Have you done the next row? Sometimes the work doesn't lay right (when you are doing special stitches like this) until you do a few more rows.

If the piece is very long, try doing a small sample and try working 2 -3 more rows after the one that you don't believe looks right.
