Cotton Bath Puff

[auntbubbels]

I found this cute bath puff and cant get past the first round - duh

 

 

 

It says Ch 10, join with a sl st to first ch to form ring - I got that

 

 

 

Round 1: Sc in ring, (ch 5, sc in ring) 40 times; ch 30, sc in ring; join with

a sl st to first sc

 

 

Round 2: Sl st into first ch 5 loop, ch 4 (to count as first dc and ch 1), (dc, ch 1) 7 times in same loop; (dc, ch 1) 8 times in each ch 5 loop around; sl st in each ch of the ch 30 loop (this forms the hanging loop); join with a sl st to the 3rd ch of the beginning ch 4

I am having problems understanding Round 1 instructions. I did a sc & ch5 in every stitch but that doesnt equal 40 -

 

I am sure someone can read round 1 and help me

 

Thank you

I think what it's saying to do is to sc around into the ring and then ch 5, you'll do that for a total of 40 times and then at the end do a longer one for a loop to hang it.

thank you, i will try that - i am new to reading patterns and usually a round ends when you get to the beginning -

 

you learn something new everyday - thanks for responding so quickly

what I am doing is a sc then ch5 in ring and doing that 40 times

 

I think that is different from what you said

 

Crochetcatskills responded to me and thats what she recommended. I tried it your way (if I understood it correctly and it wasnt looking right)

I've made the bath scrubbie you're working on. You are doing it the correct way. After you have done the intial 10 chains and slip stitched to make a circle , you do a single crochet in the circle, chain 5, single crochet in the circle, chain 5 unitl you have 40 chain 5 loops,, then you chain 30 and use a slipstitch to join it to the first single crochet: the longer 30 chain loop ends up bing the handle for the scubbie.
