Question
Amy O.
I love the idea of making fringe as shown in this afghan:
http://sunshinescreations.vintagethreads.com/2012/08/free-pattern-grandmas-touch-of-south.html
However, I'm confused about the directions. The author says to "crochet in one direction." Another poster said that in order to keep the afghan straight, you need to increase and decrease every third row. Is this true? And is the increase and decrease done in the same row?
If anyone has experience crocheting an afghan with fringe like this, please let me know if I can sc crochet across, cut the yarn, add the new strand, turn the work and continue across the other way. Then, at the end, cut the yarn, add a new strand, turn my work and crochet across.
I did a sample swatch and didn't increase or decrease every third row, and the piece looks straight to me.
Thank you for your help!
