Crochet/increasing while crocheting a round rag rug

Question
Hello..I certainly need some help. This is my first rag rug out of 1 inch material. When I need to increase and come around again..it looks like a stitch or hole to single crochet in like I am normally doing. My question is do I crochet a single crochet in that hole too?

Answer
Hi Sharon!
Thanks for asking. Ive done some rag crochet. It takes me a little more effort and patience than with yarn, but I enjoy it. Now, I'm not sure if I am following you correctly, but when you increase with single crochet, you crochet twice in the  stitch that you would normally just crochet once in. I hope I understood you correctly. Please let me know if I haven't, or if you need anything else. Good luck!

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.
