Question
Bexx
Hallo
I think I might be making my stitches too tight - yet when I make them looser, I still get the same effect.
The project is a basic cap - the ones I try for infant's and the adult one's too.
For instance this pattern: ch3 join with sl st
Row 1: ch3 (for 1st dbl) dc 10 in loop, join with sl st (11 st. total)
Row 2: ch 3, 3dc in ech dc, join w/sl st
Row 3: ch3, dc in next dc, 2dc in next
and so on - now, I have another pattern for a beret that pretty much follows the exact same method, only it uses single stitches. The problem I have is when I reach the 4th row - the edges start doing these little waves, they don't lie down flat as if it were a coaster.
Does this pattern gradually start to straighten out - or is my stitching too tight? I just can't figure it out. I have tried to make them loose, but when I get to the 5th row - it starts the wave effect. I should mention it's only one to two sides of the circle that makes a little "bump". So could it be that the stitch method is too close together? I have tried to skip a chain instead of having them side by side according to directions - and it does seem to level it out BUT I get odd little "holes" then, and it's not so uniform.
Help.
