Need help with cowl

[wildtigerlilly]

Second round, chain1 does not count as stitch. 1 treble front post around stitch at base of chain. When I do this, after slip stitching for the next round I end up with two stitches joined. Do I count both stitches or just the chain one stich that used to go around the base to make the front post ? I think I may have figured this out . I don't count the stitch.

What pattern is this?

It means that the ch-1 you made at the beginning of the row does NOT count as a stitch, so you don't work the next row into the ch-1.  You work the first stitch in the stitch after the ch-1.  Hope I helped you!  If not, let us know.

I am ending up with 83 stitches on my cowl by not counting the chain 1.  Is this correct ? The beginning chain is 84 stitches.

You also realize that it's written in UK terms, right?  Not sure what you use up in Canada!

Thanks so much, this will make much more sense, I think now. I will work at this till I get it right. I am not so sure why but am a bit of perfectionist with crochet, but not  as much, with anything else. Cute kitty, Kittyloverdeb.

I am doing a test piece, when going around my small cowl, I get a ladder effect when joining. Is this suppose to happen ? I am joining with a ss , chain 2.  Alternating double front post, and back post.
