    • @bluedoorbarncrochet
      @bluedoorbarncrochet  Рік тому +1

      When I start my first row after the initial foundation chain I work into the top of the chain, or top of the loop. I have seen some people start into the back bump/middle loop, and that absolutely works as well, I think it is really just a personal preference. Hope that helps!

  • @shanonh86
    @shanonh86 2 місяці тому

    Mine came out a funny shape, one side shorter than the other so the blanket isn't square-shaped. What did I do wrong?

    • @bluedoorbarncrochet
      @bluedoorbarncrochet  2 місяці тому

      It could be a few things truthfully. First, the nature of this project does not create a perfect outcome. They're not always perfectly square/rectangle unless you have a super consistent stitch size and tension, so it could be that. Also the chain row definitely tends to be tighter and, therefore, a bit shorter than the consectutive rows. It's also possible that you dropped a stitch somewhere, but you would probably notice that.
      My guess is that it is just a matter of getting a consistent stitch going throughout!

    How would you add on another ball of yarn if you ran out?

    Good tutorial explaining only keeping the first row loop open. I undid my first blanket 3x before finding this.
    Pretty sure you are missing a stitch on your closing row though. 🤔
