Hi Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone had a problem with this pattern.
After several attempts I find that the pattern seems to be incorrect for the Half Double Crochet rows. To keep the row count as 17 stitches I have made the following corrections. I have always worked hdc as ch 2, hdc in first stitch. I have never skipped the first stitch. The ch 2 is only the turning chain and is not worked.
For 17 stitches pattern should read:
Ch 19
Row 1: (Right Side): Hdc in 3rd ch from hook (counts as first hdc), hdc in each ch across; turn - 17 stitches.
Row 2: Ch 4 (counts as first tr), skip first hdc, tr in next 16 hdc; turn
Row 5: Ch 2, hdc in first tr, hdc in next 15 tr, hdc in top of ch-4; turn.
Rows 3 & 4 are correct.
Maybe I'm just tired. Please give it a try and let me know.
