Question
Outofmymindyo
So I'm admittedly new to crocheting, but I love it and I've got a TON of yarn on the way. Anyway, I got some Sugar'n Cream yarn from the arts & crafts center here on base, but I just seem to be doing something wrong with my blanket I'm trying.
I've messed up a few things, but overall I'm doing the same pattern that I came up with on my own. There's no stitch counting, as it's just a square blanket. Anyway, I have a picture of it at (warning large picture) http://www.geek-land.net/crochet.jpg and you can see it's a bit off. Now I know the bottom part is wider than the top part because I'm not that great at keeping my stitches at the same tension as I could be. The problem lies with the rows that are DC. I do two rows of single crochet, and then one row of double crochet.
When I end the second row of SC, I chain 3 chains to give the proper height for the row of double crochet, but that is giving me problems because it actually seems to widen the row, causing the sides to be weird and uneven.
Anyway, if anyone has any information on what I might be doing wrong, or needs to ask me any other information to help find out what I'm doing wrong I'd really, really appreciate it.
Thank you all!
