Hi Adrienne, the *twice more is telling you to start at the * and end at the Ch 2. Because if you started at the * and ended at the “in next ch-3sp” it would be the same as saying from * to **. Hope that helps!

Hi I have a question on the Bernat Baby Coordinates Gingham Blanket pattern. This is an excerpt from the pattern: “Ch 5 (counts as dc and ch 2). *Miss next 2 dc. 1dc in next dc. (2 dc, Ch 3, 2 dc) in next ch-3sp. **1 dc in next dc. Ch 2. Rep from *twice more, then from * to ** once. Join with st st in 3rd ch of ch5.” So when it states *twice more, does that mean start at the asktrek and stop at the end of the sentence which is “in next ch-3s”. and stop right there and do that twice more….or does that mean start from the asktrek and continue twice more all the way to the end Ch2.

The ch-2 and ch-3 doesn’t really make much of a difference. Technically a ch-3 is suppose to be the length of a double crochet, but some make their chains tighter or looser, so that’s why some people like the ch-2 over the ch-3 and vice versa.

Have another question. When I started to do the Granny Square I did 2 ch at the start of a row and then one ch between sts and also in the corners. Does it make a difference to your item if you make 3 ch at the beginning and then 1 ch throughout? I’m just curious. Probably it’s the preference of the one who is crocheting. I’m doing the 3 ch and 2 ch on one now and it’s hardly any larger but it seems to be nicer overall. It seemed the 2 ch gave a bump there as if it was too much but it seems to be okay when you look at the previous rows. I also have a slight problem about it looking crooked. I’m hoping the 2 ch will straighten it.
thanks

Hi Dorothy, I’m not sure I know the method that you describe. The pattern above is what I do to make a granny square.

I do the continuous granny square. I change color with the 3d round and there I ch 2 & make a half by going in the ch 2 space to my right (behind). There is another way I’d like to know. A whole corner can be made by going into the ch 2 ahead but I’m not sure how to do it. I just would like to try it although the half is simple. Hope I explained it. Do you have instructions for that? I love this pattern and have done 20″x20″ blankets for the ASPCA for years. They just love them and so do the cats. They give one when a cat is purchased. I do so many colors usually two colors & an off-white or gray or white for holidays. Thanks.

The “loop” is created in round 1. The slip stitch is what joins the loop together. You won’t make your first double crochets into any of the chains, but instead into the loop that is created by round 1.
