Lesson 5: Working back and forth
Because crochet is very versatile in stitches,
you have to know which stitch will be first in the row.
Use as a reference for making even edges:
If your first stitch is a Single Crochet,
then make 1 loop in the end of the row, turn your work and skip 2 stitches to start next row -->Example
If your first stitch is a Double Crochet,
then make 2 loops in the end of the row, turn your work and skip 3 stitches to start next row -->Example
If your first stitch is a Treble Crochet,
then make 3 loops in the end of the row, turn your work and skip 4 stitches to start next row
If your first stitch is a Double Treble crochet,
then make 4 loops in the end of the row, turn your work and skip 5 stitches to start next row
As a rule of thumb to make an even edge:
Wrap around the hook is equivalent to 1 loop;
Single crochet is equivalent to 2 loops;
Double crochet is equivalent to 3 loops;
Treble crochet is equivalent to 4 loops;
Double Treble crochet is equivalent to 5 loops
Each loop means one more time to draw the yarn through the next 2 stitches
There are no rules for making uneven edges! You have to follow the pattern description.
Develop a good habbit to count stitches
from time to time and to check for the consistency in the pattern.
If you made a mistake and did not notice it right away,
then you will have to undo your work to the point where mistake happened!
