    I am not sure what I am or am not doing wrong.. I tried a different pattern and it left a big gap at tail. Tried with your stitch count and ended up with another extra chain. Combined the two by using odd number chain and the count worked out perfectly to use your method at the end of first row to get no big gaps. Only thing I can think of is I'm not counting to the second stitch from hook in the correct way when I'm starting the first row.. 🤷🤷

    • @cindiedillard5922

      I think it has to do with working in the back loop. I tried several times not working into the back loop (bc I don’t like the back loop on the foundation row). Every time I worked it into the side loop as she calls it, I ended up with an extra chain as well. I forced myself to do it again and work into the back loop 😅 and it worked exactly as hers and with no extra chain at the end.
