Question
Hi, I am trying to make a Dallas Cowboy Blanket from a graph I made out of a picture of one I found online (which is the first for me to make my own pattern)I am doing sc and don't have a problem following the pattern according to each square is a sc, but at the end of every row I am short a stitch can't understand what I am doing wrong. It is 280W x2 80H i keep going back and recount 7 redo but it keeps happening. Appreciate your help..

Answer
Corrine:

Thanks for the question.

I believe you are forgetting that your turning chain counts as one, if you are not doing a sc on that last one. Normally when you turn, you would do a chain 1, then turn and use the ch1 as the first sc, and continue from there, so at the end you will always have the same amount of stitches.

Hope that helped.

Should you need any assistance, please let me know.

Happy Hooking
