I've already made a hat with this yarn. I made a "crysanthemum" as a decoration for the hat, so I'm thinking of adding a Curly-Q fringe that would coordinate well with the flower. The curls are made by making a chain, then 2 single-crochet in each stitch. I can't wait to wear the set!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11565461131672818932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-81763434281270034742013-12-21T03:11:14.700+11:002013-12-21T03:11:14.700+11:00I love this pattern!

So I've amended it to Ch23 to start. <br /><br />To answer your question, my starting number of chains have already allowed for the extra stitches required for pattern repeats and selvages, therefore you only need to add/subtract 4 stitches. For example, mine is a 5 repeats, to get a 8 repeats you need to add 3x4=12 stitches to my Ch23 start, i.e. Ch35. <br /><br />Or, to calculate from scratch, use the formula #repeat x4+1+2, i.e., 8x4+1+2=35.<br /><br />Hope this helps :)Cathy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962518540466499644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-11963841651119951802013-01-09T06:44:06.897+11:002013-01-09T06:44:06.897+11:00Thanks so much!

I don't need ANOTHER scarf...lol, so I thought I would make a dishcloth. According to you instructions, you say that if I want to make the project wider or narrower, all I have to do is add/subtract 4 chains and then add the +1 and the +2. I added 8 and then the 1 and the 2, to make a total of 32. My problem starts at the end of the "set up" RR because I am not at the same place when I get to the last 2 stitches. On yours, you end with a "p4tog, yop" and then stt at the last 2; I end with "p2tog, yop" and then the last 2 stt's at the end. So, when I start the first FR; I can't work it as written and I end up with 33 loops on my hook. <br />I hope you get what I am trying to say...lol I don't know where my extra loop is coming from, or how to go forward on the project. I hope you can help.
