Question
Jody
Hi, I feel this is a silly question but my frustration level has prompted this search for help.
I have begun a shawl using half double crochet. I have two questions actually. At the end of every row I cannot tell if I have another stitch or not. Is the turning chain a stitch?
At the beginning of each row of 43 half double stitches do I turn, skip the first stitch and then continue or do not skip the first stitch?
I ripped out my work four times now and do not feel secure in proceeding. I made the shawl bigger twice and I made it smaller twice. Never did I maintain the 43 stitches.
When I use the ripple pattern I don't have this problem at all.
Anyone please tell me how to maintain the number of stitches I started with.
Thanks, Jody
