Question
nikimcn
So I've been crocheting for many years, however I've always ONLY done basic blankets, as I cannot figure out most patterns LOL.
I'm not sure why...So last night I decided to try the ripple blanket. And I tried one other. My first question is this...When they say "skip 4 ch and dc in next ch" does that mean that you will DC on the 5th chain? That's what I did, assuming it said skip 4. Or does it mean do the DC in the 4th? Stuff like that is so confusing to me. Also, in the ripple blanket I got row 1 foundation row done just fine. When I chained 2 and turned though that's where I had the problems...It said something like "skip first dc and make 5 dc in next 5 dc". Well on the ripple afghan they have these special instructions, so there isn't just ONE dc, there is kind of like a bubble of 3 dc put together, to make the hills and valleys. So when they say 1 dc in the next dc do they mean make only 1 dc in that bubble's top? or separate the 3 dc in that bubble and make 3 separate dc's in each dc?
i hope I didn't confuse you . LOL. I confused myself. So I always end up quitting crochet because of this. Some instructions *even in books* are so dang confusing for me!? Is it just NOT written right? no, it's prob'ly me. LOL. Please help!
