Expert: Vinette de Phillipe Date: 6/7/2006 Subject: reading crochet instructions on joining motifs
Question Dear Vinette, I just completed 44 motifs for a Patons crochet pattern named Romantic ensemble. The motifs were in two rounds. Now I am very puzzled how to join them because it states:
Work 44 motifs 2 by 22 joining sides as follows:
2nd round: Ch. 1 1 sc in loop just formed. Ch 5. (1 sc.Ch 2. Sl st in corner ch-5 sp of adjoining motif. Ch 2. 1 sc) in next ch -4 loop for corner. (Ch 2. Sl st in ch-5 sp of adjoining Motif. Ch. 2. 1 sc in next ch-5 sp) twice. (Ch. 2. Sl st in corner ch 5 sp of adjoining Motif. Ch 2. 1 sc) in same sp. as last sc. *Ch 5. 1 sc in next ch 4 loop. Ch 5. (1 sc. Ch 5. 1 sc) in next ch-4 loop for corner. Rep from * once more. Ch. 5. Sl st in first sc. Fasten off.
I just don't get it. 1. How many motifs is this part joining and which sides? 2. In Rd 2 there is no ch. 4 loop. Round 2 had all ch 5 loops? Any help would be greatly appreciated...I was up until midnight trying to figure this Patons pattern out. THANKS!!! Barbara....
Answer HI Barbara,
From the sounds of it you are joining 2 rows of 22 motifs.
Can you tell me what row 1 reads. Maybe there is something there that can assist me to better assist you.
There may be a clue in row 1.

also what is the item you are making, a shawl, scarf or ???
