Question
Keiyla
I must be doing this wrong, and I don't know if it's me or the pattern instructions. I'm working on Leisure Arts Leaflet #3694, "48 Hour Afghans," pattern "Waterfall."
The instructions for the FPtr says:
YO twice; insert hook from front to back to front around post (vertical bar) of specified st, ( hook yarn and draw up a 1" loop, hook yarn and draw through two lps) twice; YO, draw through rem 2 lps; FPtr made.
From the way I read this, you're inserting the hook once around the post, drawing up a loop...but then how are you drawing up a 1" loop the second time? Isn't it just a YO and pull through? Otherwise, it would be inserting hook around post twice, which makes it VERY bulky, and not at all what the picture looks like. I've looked up the stitch in various places, and there seem to be several ways of doing it.
Thanks so much for any help!
