Back to crocheting again.... ;-)

[back2it]

Hello Everyone!

 

Just wanted to get back to my Love of crocheting and I'm a bit rusty at reading patterns!  eckeeee

 

So, I decided I would join this site and hopefully get my 'rear in gear', dig out the yarn & patterns and start up again.

 

I hope to enjoy seeing others projects and of course Learn some new things.

 

But, at this moment, I do have a question.

 

It Shouldn't Be Difficult....but I guess because I'm 'rusty', I am a bit uncertain about a Direction on a baby blanket that I am starting.

 

If someone can help me, I will be Very Thankful.

 

OK, here goes....

 

I've chained 162

 

1st. row says:

1 DC in 4th ch from hook.  Ch1 .

 

Miss next ch.  (1dc in next ch. Ch 1.  Miss next ch)  twice 

 

 

My question is at this point...by following these directions....  Do I now 5 dc on my chain or 7?

 

The 'twice' has me confused.....

 

Thank you and Hello to all of you out there in 'Crochet Land'

Hi and welcome!!! Glad you're back 2 the land of crocheting again! To answer your question, you should have 5dc, including the first chains you skipped as the 1st DC.

Hope that helps!

5? First DC is the last 3 chains plus ch1 , DC in the 4th chain, ch1, dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc. ch1

 

If it would have said repeat twice, I would say 7 DC, but it doesn't say that.

 

Hope you work it out!

1st. row says:

1 DC in 4th ch from hook.  Ch1 . skipped chs = dc, plus dc in 4th ch-----this makes 2 dc

 

Miss next ch.  (1dc in next ch. Ch 1.  Miss next ch)  twice do what's in the ( ) twice so that's 2 more dc

 

 

My question is at this point...by following these directions....  Do I now 5 dc on my chain or 7?

Hello from Mississippi.

I'll muddy the waters and throw in my two cents worth. At this point you have 4 dc in the row.

I agree with Mona. You should have 4.

[Addicted2patterns]
