Question
I've made this afghan pattern a dozen times but I can't find the original pattern and I'm only able to get the first row done. I hope you can help.
Row 1: DC in 3rd ch from hook, dc in next 3 chs, *ch3, sc in next ch, skip 3 ch, 3 dc in next 3 chs. Repeat from *.
It makes a lovely scalloped edge on both ends when it is finished. The 3 dc's seem to reverse direction from row to row. HELP!!! ;-)
Hi Mary!
Sorry for taking so long. Your question went into the "question pool". Anyway, do you remember where you got the pattern? I have lots of patterns and can look through mine to see if I have it.
Hope to hear from you soon. I will be away from the computer from Friday until probably Monday, so if you can't get back to me by Friday, it would probably be better for you to wait until Monday. But I just wanted to answer you now instead of making you wait any longer.
Hope to hear from you soon!

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 the afghan stitch, or hairpin lace. 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. Nearly all of my crochet magazines, leaflests, etc are over 5 years old. Many are from the 80's and before. 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.
