Question
Bex23
Hi. I am attempting my first filet crochet pattern for a Christmas table runner for my mum. Done alot of crochet over this last year and love it and wanted to make my mum something special! I bought the pattern and tried contacting the designer but no answer and I need to start it as I've got alot of crochet Xmas projects i want to do! So any help as I'm not sure if pattern is written wrong or I'm missing something.
Basically the runner is worked width ways and so the amount of stitches in the row is 60 (remembering its a filet pattern with 4dc in the closed blocks). Row 1. chain 184 and dc (u.s. terminology) into the 5th chain from the hook;dc in each chain across 181.
Row 2. Ch 3, turn work (counts as first dc), dc in next 6 dc, (chain, skip next 2 dc, dc in next dc) 56 times, dc in last 6 dc: 4 solid mesh/56 open mesh.
Now my I understand Row 2 fine. Its Row 1 I can't. If I chain 184 and dc in 5th chain from hook won't that give me 180 dc. And if I chain 184 and did 4th chain from hook (which is what I thought this would be) I would get 181. I feel something is wrong, either the 5th chain from hook bit or the final amount of dc (181). I don't think it can be both.
It's alot of stitches to do to find out im wrong to start again. If anyone can give some guidance that would be great!
Thanks in advance
Rebecca
