Hi Rachel I got your email , but i need to know how to do the third row. Are you using a single crochet row then a double crochet row ?

Hi Jewel, you would crochet into both loops. So if you loop at first pic in this tutorial you’ll insert your hook under both the front and the back loop that’s at the top of the stitch. That’s the traditional way to make crochet stitches. You would always insert your hook under both loops unless otherwise noted in the pattern.

Help? When a pattern says,”dc in each dc across”. Does this mean to go into the top 2 threads of the dc or do i go into the space between the 2 dc? It reads chain 3 (counts as 1st dc turn dc in 2 dc in each dc across. Does this mean go into the 2 threads at top or the spaces between the 2 dc stitches? thanks for your help. I am sure it is simple, but I have taught myself to crochet.

Hello, yes, you would work in the back loops only if a row calls for it. I understand that it may be difficult, but with more and more practice it should become easier. Take your time when you crochet!
