You'd have to have two different balls of the same colour to attach though. Maybe tie a piece of contrasting yarn around one of them so that you can remember if you're using it as colour A or B.

Is that right? </em> <br /><br />What you've said here is exactly right. You never stitch in the chain spaces. To make the increases you need to make the blanket lay flat you make two double crochets (dc) in the stitch before the chain space, you then make a chain, skip over the chain space from the previous row and make you're next dc in the stitch right after the chain space from the previous row. <br /><br />Put more simply, you do exactly what you think you should be doing. Don't stitch in the ch spaces. <br /><br />Hope that helps. Feel free to write again if you have more questions. Good luck with your blanket! I'd love to see some pictures when you're finished.amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972471077953562082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353746392948535536.post-81266978632899541002012-02-10T20:34:25.004-08:002012-02-10T20:34:25.004-08:00Amber,

This is only my 4th project (2nd blanket) and I'm a little confused about a few things. I understand if you haven't done the pattern in a while but whatever help you can give is appreciated.<br /><br />I'm getting confused right in the Row 4-6 area. Do I dc in the ch stitch? Do I skip the ch stitch? <br /><br />The row 4 pattern says "*2 dc in next stitch, ch 1 (right above ch 1 of previous rnd)*" I was thinking that I do the 2 dc then ch 1 and then skip the ch 1 in the previous row and 2 dc in the stitch after that. Is that right? <br /><br />Then in row 5 you say to 2dc in dc before ch stitch then ch stitch. does that mean to skip the ch stitch in the previous row? Or do I just dc in the ch below...<br /><br />I am thinking that if I stitch in the chain stitch, I'll mess up the design.<br /><br />Help! I'm sure I'm making this much harder than it needs to be but I'm very new at this.
