Hi there,
I just happened to come across your website in search of a problem and first of I want to say how nice, clean and user friendly it is…thank you!!!
I am trying to crochet my little one his first pair of mittens, I have conquered all thier hats. YEAHHH!!! Mom of four soon to be five, I am very busy..lol.
Here is my dilema. I have found a pattern that does not seem too overwhelming, complex or intimidating until I read this ….can you PLEASE explain what they mean by back ridge of chain. I
Chain 26
Row 1: working in Back Ridge of chains:
Sc x 5, ss x 3, sc x 17. No chain, Turn.
All
I am soo visual that reading what you wrote before is not sinking in. Is there any other way that you can explain it so that i can visualize the steps. Thanks in advance!
Cheers
D, I sooo love crocheting I did knitting but there is something more enjoyable with crochet!
Hi Denise…take a look at your chain. On the front there should be 2 loops which look like the front and back loop as indicated in this picture: http://www.crochetspot.com/crochet-in-front-back-or-both-loops/
Now turn the chain around, and look behind these two loops. You should see another loop. This loop is the back ridge.
If you still can’t see it, try putting a stitch marker on your strand of yarn before you yarn over to make your chain stitch. Then make your chain stitch and the loop with the marker in it is the back ridge.
Thanks Rachel
I am going to give it a go today, I really want to knit my 15 month old a pair of mittens and then the rest of the family!!!! Weather is getting colder and it would be soo sweet for her to have matching mittens and scarf to the hat I made.
Cheers
thanks again for answering!!!!
I did this same thing but with the shell stitch and it turned out good. Thanks Rachel
hi Rachel, in the fish in ocean bookmark pattern, when the instruction reads
(Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in each st across, changing to color B in last sc made: 24 sc)
should i make 24 sc after Row 2 or does it mean that 24 stitches are complete.
Hi Tryphena, the 24 after the colon is the stitch count. So there will be 24 single crochets completed when you finished that row.
