Hi Sana,
Hi Sana,
Please, Please,Please check out my daughters crochet channel. She learnt off you and is now a popular crocheter. Her channel name is called "Bella Coco"
Hi Kira,
Hi Kira,
I've seen your daughter's crochet channel before. It is nice that she finds time to share her talent with others. Happy crochet!
Hello, I have a question.
Hello, I have a question. First row is to do 15 stitches. Does the first three chain is considered as a first stitch or it is 15 + 1? I wish there was a stitches count at the end. I love this project, but i cant get pass 4th row. I am missing stitches att he end. Please help me on this. Thank you. Maria
Hi Maria,
Hi Maria,
You may watch the video to this written instruction to see how I did the first row. After the first row you should have 15 trc plus 1 (initial chs). You may send me a picture of your work. That way it will be easier for me to help you out. Happy crochet!
I'm having a problem with two
I'm having a problem with two 8, especially in the middle. Previous row has 31 DC, but the loops only come out to span 30 DC. I'm counting the slip 2 very carefully, but still doesn't come out. I'm also having a problem with what exactly you mean by "h#ch". Sometimes it seems like you are counting the very first chain or stitch after the RC, but sometimes not. Lastly, is there a chart for this pattern? That would be so helpful! Thanks in advance, PupMom
Hi PupMom,
Hi PupMom,
You may attach the picture of your work so I could see your 7th row, and tell you what your mistake is. If you believe that there is no mistake in the 7th row, you may watch the video starting from about 15:37 to see above which chains I work arches. Abbreviations are at the end of the instruction. Happy crochet!
Hi Sana, Thanks for your
Hi Sana, Thanks for your reply. I will try to attach a picture of completed row 7 and then another picture of where I'm running into a jam on row 8. I just need to have my hubby help me get the pictures uploaded. But, thanks, thanks, so much. Back to you soon. Pup.
