Question
Katydid_2222
I'm fairly new to crocheting although I have knit for decades. I'm not unfamiliar with counting stitches in knitting but crochet is another matter.
I want to make an afghan in moss/linen/woven/granite stitch. I've made a swatch so I know how to do the stitch but I don't know how to count them. There is no pattern (I'm basing it on one in bulky and I'm using worsted) I can't just wing it (like crochet until you have reached the desired length). I have seen pictures of the stitches but nowhere have I seen how to count.
I've asked other groups and all I'm getting is to make a swatch and you can figure out how wide. Would marking off 4 inches in my swatch and ripping out that row (or 4" portion) out and measuring get me where I want to go?
Is my question clear as mud? I hope you can help. I 'm so ready to start crocheting.
