Help please?

Hello, all! I have just started crocheting a couple days ago and my grandma is attempting to teach me. I'm trying to make a doll, but we can't figure out why my stitches look so different than hers.

Sorry that the picture is a little blurry. We've thought that it might be because the size of my stitches is not consistent yet, but none of the stitches I've done look like hers (her stitches are the at the top of the doll in the picture). Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to the ville

 

The photo is hard to see, but the ridges could be because you are only stitching into the back loop of the stitch below, instead of going under both loops. Info here http://www.stitchdiva.com/tutorials/crochet/crochet-in-the-front-or-back-loops-of-a-stitch

Thanks for the help! I'll try this out as soon as possible

Or maybe you are going around the post of the stitch below, instead of under both top loops.

That does look like Kathy said, you are going thru only the back loop, instead of both.

Please say what pattern you are using either in a leaflet etc. or online.
