Question
DAISY808
***** FIRST TIME CROCHETER. FIRST PROJECT *****
I don't understand this pattern. It's a Turban Wrap. (Top of Hat) Ch 17. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each across - 16 sc.
Rows 2-18: Ch1, turn, sc in each st across.
(Work 1st Side)
Ch 17.
Row 19: Ch 1, turn, sc in 1st 8 sts, leaving remaining 8 sts unworked.
Rows 20-50: Ch1, turn, sc in each st across. Fasten off.
(Work 2nd Side.)
Row 1: Join yarn with sc in first unworked st following First Side, sc in remaining 7 sts-8sc.
Row 2-32: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across. Fasten off.
(Assembly)
Wrap one side over the other, match ends at back part of the square made for the top of the hat. With sl st, seams sides to top of hat. Seam center back closed.
My issue is with the (Work 1st Side) instructions. Why am I chaining 17? Am I suppose to chain 17 separately and if so then why? When I look at the Work 2nd side instructions they say to join yarn .... Join what yarn? The 17 chain? I just don't understand this because if I do that then I would have 9 chains unworked across the row.
I am ultimately trying to work this piece without having to seam anything together. The picture is at an angle so I can't really see how it ultimately, fully is suppose to look. It just doesn't make sense why I would have to Chain 17 at the top of the instructions for the (Work 1st Side) instructions.
Please help. Thank you.
