Crochet "Chat"

[miohippus]

First round is 11 dc + the "ch 3" that is to be the first dc so 12 total.

rd 2 is 2 dc in each of the 12 stitches for 24 total, but the first one will be the 3ch to be the first dc

rd 3 is ch 3 (for first dc) then 2 dc in next stitch, then 1 dc in next stitch then 2 dc in next stitch all the way around (so 1/2 of the 24 stitches will have 2 dc and 1/2 will have 1 dc for 36 stitches.)


You always start each row w/ a chain 3 that doubles as the first dc

i knew that you are supposed to count the chain 3 as one of the 11 on the first row because it thought it said 11 including the chain 3 i guess i read it wrong and that is my problem

It's a common problem. Reading the pattern has always been a problem for me. I sometimes read and reread them before I begin.

my grandma tried to teach me to crochet before she past but she only taught me the basics i have learned the rest on my own, but never have learned to read patterns very well. Also my having dyslexia does not help either, lol.

I think reading word patterns is the hardest part of crochet, by far. I get smooth excited when I see a picture pattern! lol

I'll agree with that.

Has anyone heard from Sebocat? I've sent her an pm but no response. I have her address and I'll send her a card, if I can find it. I hope I don't have to go up there.

(she lives in Alaska)

I can't find her address.

Found it.

Oh wow...there is a crochet thread on BYC? How nice! Hi I'm Peggy....and I also crochet. Just started an "E Pattern" for a chicken potholder last night. I haven't made anything other than baby hats in a couple years, but i have several afghans going that I need to get back to. No time for big stuff with a toddler to look after. Anyway, this is the pattern I am working on, from an Annie's Attic book called "whimsical Potholders" . Meet Henrietta the chicken.
From the pattern book

My version so far. I have never seen a green chicken, but our kitchen is green, ha ha.




So far it's going good, I am making this test version with acrylic yarn scraps, before I try it with the Peache's and Cream cotton yarn it calls for.
