Hi All,

I just bought a pattern and looked at the instructions and was pretty confused off the bat. Can somebody please help explain what I need to be doing. I am familiar with the terms sc and ch, so I don't need any tutoring there. The pattern tells me to start with a Base: 14 ch + 1 ch (what does that mean they say + 1 ch after you have made a 14 ch). Next for the first round they tell me to make 1 sc in the next 13 ch, 3 sc in the next 1 ch, 1sc in each of the net 12 ch, 2 sc in the next ch (is this all done on the first row?).

Thank you in advance,

Winston

Hi! I am starting a crocheted baby blanket for my dqughter who just found out she is pregnant! Woohoo!!!! I am totally confused by row 2: Ch 5 (counts as first dc plus ch 2, now and throughout), turn; dc in next dc, (2 dc in next ch-2 sp, dc in next dc) across to beginning ch, ch2, skip next 2 chs, dc in next ch: 99dc

I am not as good at crochet as knitting, but this is the pattern she wants. The pattern is in Leisure Arts little books "So sweet baby afghans" Pattern 2 if anyone has done it. Thanks for your help! Beth

I am stuck on page 16 of this pattern where it says "Work 3 rows even in pat." I am confused what it means and have tried several attempts to moving forward, none of them are matching up. Any help would be much appreciated. This is a gift and need to get it done :) Thanks

What does "marking a row," do? I see directions and on TV that they either put a plastic ring or a yarn on a row. What does that mean? What am I looking for and why is it needed? Thanks everyone!!

Hi can anyone direct me to a site that will teach me how to cross stitch or embroider on a single crochet afghan.

Thanks,

Carol

Has anyone had experience crocheting the "Country Warmer" afghan design by Julene Watson from A Year of Afghans, Book 5 (leisure arts 2000)?

Afghan Pattern says : skip next sc, dc in next 3 sc,work LSC.
Afghan stitch guide describes Long Single Crochet (LSC): Working AROUND last 3 dc made, insert hook in skipped sc, YO and pull up a loop even with last st made, YO and draw through both loops on hook.
I can't figure out one goes AROUND stitches already made to make the LSC in the skipped sc and then continues on
back in the original direction

i did the first row with no problems the i got to row 2 and now im lost. they are as fallows:
row 2
(right side)
CH 4 (counts as first dc plus ch 1, now and throughout)

(dc in next dc, ch 1) twice
repeat from * accross to last sp

my daughter found a pattern for a scarf she likes. there is a lot of cabling in the scarf & i've never done cabling before. i am so lost in this pattern. i'm fine w/the FPdc, but it all falls apart for me at row 25. i thought i was ok, but my project looks nothing like the pattern's picture. row 27 was even worse! can anyone PLEASE help me figure out how to work these rows/stitches? the pattern (& original link) follow:
