QUESTION:

RE: reading crochet pattern

I am crocheting a "table rug" and one of the instructions is (Sc in next 4 sts, sc in st beneath next st) I'm not sure what "sc in st beneath next st" means. Please help.
Jeanne

 

ANSWER:

I believe the designer wants you to make a long single crochet stitch "one row below".
Watch this video and see if this seems like what your pattern calls for:

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT



"In contentment and joy are found the
height and perfection of all love towards our neighbor."
~~ William Ames ~~


"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and tthe body than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life's span? And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these. But if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? Do not be anxious then, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we clothe ourselves?' For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Matthew 6:25-34

But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. And if we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many apang.

1 Timothy 6:6-10

 

Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you."

Hebrews 13:5

 

The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His deeds. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. The Lord keeps all who love Him; but all the wicked, He will destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord; and all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.

Psalm 145: 17-21

 

 

"TRUE CONTENTMENT IS NOT DEPENDENT
ON ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD ."

This quote is from Our Daily Bread - February 2012 Issue

Be careful the environment you choose, for it will
shape you; be careful the friends you choose, for
you will become like them.  - W. Clement Stone

together in My name, there I am in their midst."
Matthew 18:20

CROCHET TIP


If you are a beginning crocheter, choose a small project like a bookmark or a dishcloth so you can have the satisfaction of finishing a project quickly. Then once you have mastered the stitches and skills needed to complete a few small projects... advance to a larger project like a doily, an afghan or even a sweater.

RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page

I am trying to make the baby's abc afghan but I'm having
trouble following the pattern, is there any way to buy the original pattern ?
Rosario Rubalcava

Comments:

I'm not aware of the pattern being offered for sale... it was originally on a yarn label and I obtained permission to post it. What is giving you trouble... I'm making one right now myself?
Crochetnmore

-------
Counting the stitches, the blocks are so small, I made one a couple of years ago from that label but can't find it.
Rosario Rubalcava

-------
Try this copy of the graph: http://www.crochetnmore.com/babysabcsafghangraphpix-lg.jpg
I made this one twice as large... let me know if prints out larger for you.
Crochetnmore
-------

Thank you so much, it came out really nice. Really appreciate your help.
Rosario Rubalcava

-------
You're very welcome... glad that worked for you. I'm making one in different colors... which has been quite a challenge :)
Crochetnmore

-------
I was thinking of doing it in different colors also for my niece, she is a school teacher, but I figured it would be a challenge also, so it's now in progress in an off white baby soft yarn, it is looking beautiful. Thank you so much
Rosario Rubalcava
-------
I plan on showing the afghan I'm making and let you see how I divided the colors... keep watching :)

I would love to see it, maybe then I will try it.

Re: Dolphin_Afghan_Square

How do I purchase the dolphin—afghan—square, I saw the pattern on the web
but I didn't know if it is complete for the dolphin please let me know if I
need to purchase.
Lynn

<< reply >>

The pattern for the dolphin afghan square is free:
http://www.crochetnmore.com/dolphinafghansquare.htm

The completed afghan photo on the pattern page was sent in
by a viewer. You can make your afghan using as many squares
as you want and add your favorite border.

 


Thanks for the English version on how to read crochet pattern.

Please explain the following in English:
Rows 10 -21: Rep Rows 4 and 9 twice - 23 shells.

Thank you,

Joy

<< reply >>

You’re welcome.

>>Please explain the following in English:
>>Rows 10 -21: Rep Rows 4 and 9 twice - 23 shells.
The way this is written you would alternate row 4 and row 9 for rows 10-21.
However....

If this is in reference to this pattern?
http://yarnimagination.lionbrand.com/patterns/81085AD.html?noHTML=1

Rows 10-21: Rep Rows 4-9 twice - 23 shells.

means you repeat rows 4 through 9 two times.,, like this:
Row 10 – repeat Row 4
Row 11 – repeat Row 5
Row 12 – repeat Row 6
Row 13 – repeat Row 7
Row 14 – repeat Row 8
Row 15 – repeat Row 9

Row 16 – repeat Row 4
Row 17 – repeat Row 5
Row 18 – repeat Row 6
Row 19 – repeat Row 7
Row 20 – repeat Row 8
Row 21 – repeat Row 9

Hope this helps.


Re: Stitch Question - Open Edge Dishcloth

Hello, i am croqueting the open edge dishcloth.
I have a question about the pattern.
In R4 is the chain 4 stitch not counted when you skip next stitch? I double crocheted in actually the third SC because i do not count the chain 4 sc as the first stitch.
In R3 at the end of the row i SC in ch1 space and my last sc is in the top of third chain of the chain 4. is that right?
there are 35 stitches in the rows.
At the end do you reverse sc in the space of the dc row end?
thank you, bonnie roeper

<< reply >>

>>> In R4 is the chain 4 stitch not counted when you skip next stitch?
>>> I double crocheted in actually the third SC because i do not count the chain 4 sc as the first stitch.
That is correct... skip the stitch the 4 chains come up from and the next stitch... placing the first sc in the 3rd stitch.

>>>In R3 at the end of the row i SC in ch1 space and my last sc is in the top of third chain of the chain 4. is that right?
Yes

>>> there are 35 stitches in the rows.
Yes

>>> At the end do you reverse sc in the space of the dc row end?
For the Edge you work Rev Sc sts around the entire cloth by placing 2 RevScs in each corner
1RevSc in each sc row end and 2RevScs in each dc row end (into the space left along the dc row ends)



I started the ABC Baby afghan and my puff stitches will not stay on the
right side, when I got to the R, I gave up and unraveled. I found your video
on the SC Puff stitch and the stitch is puffed on the wrong side. So my
letters are backwards by design. Is there a secret I should know, or use a
mirror on the graph?

Frustrated in South Carolina,
Glenna

<< reply

The puff stitches automatically "puff" to the side away from you as you are
making them.

I have two different videos that include tips on making this afghan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWwUGEsA9xs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgT_YqxDqZ8

This afghan isn't as difficult as you may think once you figure out how to
read the graph. The puff stitches will form the letters fine and all puffs
appear to be on the wrong side but the pattern works fine.. you just need
to flip the afghan over periodically to check your progress on the
letters... making sure you are placing the puffs in the right places.


I’m new to crocheting and made it all the way to RND 6. Now I’m confused. The directions state: 6 dc in same st.

I know I’m supposed to do 6 double crochets but in what “same” stitch? Please help. I really find the way you explain things very helpful.

breynaud

<< reply >>

The “same stitch” in this case is the stitch at the base of the 3 chains.


Subject: left to right no turn row for tapestry crochet Help!!

I am looking for info on tapestry single crochet How to do the
reverse no turn sc stitch there is only quick tidbits of info on this.
I understand how to carry the second color of yarn but not the
placement of the hook on the left to right sc row in the tapestry
stitch.

Can you help.

Thanks Kat M

<< reply >>

I saw this on a tv show recently... much better than having
to fasten off the yarn for every row.

Carol Ventura is the expert on this method.
She has a video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIX7gGW79Bw
in which she shows how to work the single crochet row from left to right
using the left hand to hold the hook... as well as
a method of turning the work over and making the single crochet
in a different manner working from right to left.

Subject: Ribbed_Dog_Sweater

Where does the legs go
Celia

<< reply >>

The openings for the dog’s front legs are formed as you join the chest piece of this pattern.
Look at this photo:
http://www.crochetnmore.com/ribbeddogsweaterpix.jpg
you can see one of the leg openings on the lower left part of the sweater.


RE: Dog_Sweater_Pattern

When you say do not turn on rnd 21 does this mean that I am
making the other side of the pattern. Again on rnd 22 do not turn

Celia

<< reply >>

If a pattern instructs you not to turn... just keep working
in the same direction instead of turning the work over and
working back across the stitches you just did.

Re: Apple_Afghan_Square

I am a novice crocheter and cannot figure out how to join the colours on this apple pattern. Does one need to break/cut off constantly when one changes from red to white or is there a way to switch from one line to another keeping the yarn intact? I am hoping that you perhaps have a video-type clip of how to go about this.

Tanya Nöckler
<< reply >>

I carry the unused color along as I go.
I have videos on Youtube now that should be helpful in
showing how I do this. The following videos show

RE: Post on the Crochetnmore Fan Page

Crochet Tip: When winding yarn into a ball, wind the yarn loosely. Too much tension on the yarn stretches it.

Comments:

I was wondering about this the other day.......why do we wind the yarn in a ball?
Tonia Deakin
------

Personally, I don't like to wind my yarn unless the skein is mostly gone.. then it tends to tangle so I wind what is left over. Some people think it's easier to work from a ball than a skein.
Crochetnmore
------

I only wind it when it's mostly gone, too.

If you used two strands along with "linked" stitches it would be extremely sturdy.

This book is a wonderful addition to any crochet library.
I've had numerous requests over the years of what to crochet for boys.
Crobots are definitely the answer!
This 96-page book is filled with numerous types of Crobot patterns as well as well-illustrated instructions for the
crochet stitches, assembly stitches and other embellishments used in the patterns.
The patterns are well written, some of the book is written in a small font but the pictures are wonderful. NOTE: This book comes to you with a safety warning regarding the small parts used in the patterns.
Therefore, please use your own discretion as to the age of the child you intend the gift for.


I have to tell you about this new book.
SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet
I'm so happy to have it in my crochet library.Katherine Lee has an eye for style and a definite knack for creating beautiful crochet patterns.
I was really happy with the large colorful project photos.
There's something for everyone!
The aspect of Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that stood out to me was the section on the yarns
used in the patterns. One page shows "actual size" photos of the yarns which makes it super
easy to substitute other yarns if you want to. For those who stay strictly to the recommended
yarn in a pattern Katherine has included a yarn resource list. The projects are very fashionable
and perfect for gift giving... though I'm sure you'll have to make something for yourself :o)
I can't wait to try the Flirty Skirt and the Ruffled Strap Tank.

HUMOR



~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 

 

A woman was bragging to her next-door neighbor about her son, a college student at the University of Illinois. "Why, our son is so brilliant, every time we get a letter from
him we have to go to the dictionary."

"You're lucky," the neighbor said. "Every time we get a letter from our son in college, we have to go to the bank!"


A college graduate applies for a job as an industrial spy.

Together with several other applicants, he is given a sealed envelope and told to take it to the fourth floor.

As soon as the young man is alone, he steps into an empty hallway and opens the packet. Inside, a message reads: "You're our kind of person. Report to the fifth floor."

 


A fisherman from the city was out fishing on a lake in a small boat. He noticed another man in a small boat open his tackle box and take out a mirror. Being curious the man rowed over and asked, "What is the mirror for?"

"That's my secret way to catch fish," said the other man. "Shine the mirror on the top of the water. The fish notice the spot of sun on the water above and they swim to the surface. Then I just reach down and net them and pull them into the boat."

"Wow! Does that really work?"

"You bet it does."

"Would you be interested in selling that mirror? I'll give you $30 for it."

"Well, okay."

After the money was transferred, the city fisherman asked,
"By the way, how many fish have you caught this week?"

"You're the sixth," he said.


My son, Scott, an insurance broker in Florida, loves ocean fishing and takes his cell phone along on the boat. One morning, we were drifting about ten miles offshore as Scott discussed business on the phone.

Suddenly, his rod bent double and the reel screamed as line poured off the spool. Scott was master of the situation.

"Pardon me," he told his customer calmly. "I have a call on another line."


The newlywed wife said to her husband when he returned from
work, "I have great news for you. Pretty soon we're going to
be three in this house instead of two."

The husband started glowing with happiness. Kissing his
wife, he said, "Oh, darling, I'm the happiest man in the
world."

But then she said, "I'm glad that you feel this way because
tomorrow morning my mother is moving in with us."


I was visiting customers in their home one afternoon. While I was talking to them, their four-year-old little girl, whose name was Michelle, tugged on my pants leg and excitedly exclaimed, "I got a new bicycle. Do you want to see it?"

I said, "Sure, Michelle." So off to the backyard we went. Upon getting there, I saw a brand-new girl's bicycle. "Wow, Michelle! That's a beautiful bicycle," I complimented. "Can you ride it?"

"Yeah, I can ride it," she said, and then with a sad face she pouted, "but it's broke."

I looked at the new bicycle and couldn't see anything wrong with it, so I asked her, "What's wrong with it?"

"I don't know," she shrugged, "but every time I ride it, it falls down!"


Police officer:
Excuse me, but your dog has been chasing a man on his bicycle.

Dog owner:
Are you crazy? My dog can't even ride a bicycle.


A husband and wife were debating on buying a new car.

She wanted a fast sports car. He wanted a pickup.

As time passed on, her birthday came up and she

thought it a great time to fulfill her wish.

She told her husband, "Look, I want something

that can go from 0 to 200. Furthermore, I want it to

be able to do it in just a few seconds!"

The husband bought her a bathroom scale.

(The funeral is at 3:00pm Wednesday)


In a shop, two men struck up a conversation.

Just as one fellow said that his wife was getting carried away with her shopping, a brief power outage caused the lights to flicker overhead.

"That, he sighed, must be her checking out now."


An American family took their first-grader on a car trip to Canada. To help pass the time, the boy practiced his new reading skills by calling out road signs. He fell asleep just before they entered Quebec.

When he awoke, he looked out his window at the highway signs - now in French - and said in a worried tone, "I think I forgot how to read while I was asleep."


In church this past Sunday, we celebrated Communion. During the "children's sermon", the minister was talking about Communion and what it is all about.

"The Bible talks of Holy Communion being a 'joyful feast'. What does that mean?

Well, 'joyful' means happy, right? And a feast is a meal. So a 'joyful feast' is a happy meal. And what are the three things we need for a happy meal?"

My son blurted out, "Hamburger, fries, and a regular soft drink?"


Two husbands were discussing their married lives. Although happily married, they admitted that there were arguments sometimes.

Then Chad said, “I’ve made one great discovery. I know how to always have the last word.”

“Wow!’ said Sherman, “how did you manage that?”

“It’s easy,” replied Chad. “My last word is always ‘Yes, Dear.'"
