AboutMarla Expertise I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in hairpin lace, or the afghan stitch. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
Experience I have been a crocheter for almost 30 years.
Question I need help, I have an afghan that my granddaughter made and at the end of each row she missed stitches (about nine stitches across) one row then eight then seven then none this is all on one side of the afghan the afghan is 60X65 and is beautiful otherwise she is heart broken an said she didn't notice it until she went to put tassels on that end can you help me with out tearing it all out because all the afghan would have to come undone.
Answer Hi Kathy!
Thanks for asking. First I need to know if when you mean "all on one side", do you mean the missed stitches are all on one side of the afghan, or the afghan is crocheted by starting on the same side each time, that is the "right side" (no turning of the afghan to crochet back the other way)? Either way, it probably can be fixed, but it may take a little unraveling and possibly some cutting to get to the missed stitches. What you will need is some of the yarn used to make the afghan to fix it. I have a few ways in my mind on how to fix it. I think it can be done. I hope I have made myself clear. Let me know how the afghan was crocheted, and I'll get back with you.
