Edgerydoo Help!

[sprtsbear]

I have started to use my edgerydoo square. I am having a terrible time. I punched in the holes and they do not seem to be big enough and are very hard to see. I am using a size #1 steel hook. I do not crochet tightly, but it seems that I have to put 2 stitches in each hole. I am using baby yarn. What am I doing wrong?

I've used much larger hooks and don't have a problem - I do have to push the hook a bit to squeeze it through, but it's been easy for me.

 

I don't understand if you say the holes are small and tight - but you have to put 2 stitches in each?

 

Are you using fleece? I've used fleece and a G hook with Baby yarn.

 

You may have to push down harder when you punch the holes.

I'm sorry I'm not much help, but I'm not sure what you're asking - are the holes too small???

Did you just punch through? Did you make the backer board? It should be pretty large holes. The instructions are in the package with the other items. You can always email the company, they are a nice bunch.

I don't know, maybe it is the type of fleece. The reason I had to put 2 stitches in each hole was that the holes were too far apart. I tried a ) hook and it was better. I will have to try to make another square.

Ah! I haven't used thread - I've used yarn - from baby weight to worsted weight.

It could be that if you're using a steel hook and thread, our first stitch would be way too wobbly.

If you want to use thread, perhaps a better way to go would be to do a blanket stitch around (by hand) and then crochet through that.

 

I think the holes would be rather far apart for thread. I've done them in sz 10 ( I think thats right) cotton, but I can see how you'd have a lot of trouble in a thin thread.

I did one with thread once. I still used the size "C" hook like she recommends, but what I did was instead of one SC between holes I put three. It worked, just try it.
