Hi Sherrie, sorry for the confusion. Yes, you will turn at the beginning of each row.

Oh, dear I feel stupid. At the end of row 2, would you T U R N and start row 3? And keep turning for each row? Or is row 2 going to keep going “around”? So want to do this pattern! I’m using cotton yarn.

Thank you for this pattern and easy to follow instructions. I am a beginner at best, but have not crocheted for years and was pretty rusty on how to even begin! This tutorial and photos made it oh so easy to get started again. I just finished my first baby afghan and love the look of this pattern!

I have to say this is the first tutorial that I was able to
Understand. I am at crocheting and have struggled
at other tutorials. I am on my 3rd scan if yarn and it
is turning out perfect and evenly squared up so far.
Thanks for the great instructions.

Wow!!! I’m pretty much a beginner at this and I find this stitch easy. I love the pattern! I’m a little slow but figure I will get faster as I go. I thought I’d try to make a blanket for an old child’s doll cradle that we purchased at an Antique Auction. This doll cradle is for our new Granddaughter. I know she will enjoy it when she gets older and will have a beautiful blanket to cover her baby doll with that her Mamaw made. Many Thanks for sharing and the comments. They help a great deal!!!

Thanks for the pattern! I love how fast and easy this goes. After I had done a few test rows I realized that it’s very similar to the pattern used in one my baby brothers blankets. I had been trying to figure it out to no avail! Thanks for sharing!!

The curve may not necessarily mean that there is a mistake in the stitiching or that you’ve added stitches. It may be a sign that the foundation chain was too tight. A simple and easy way to avoid this in the future would be to use a larger hook for the foundation chain and go 1 hook size down for the actual body of the project. Hope this is helpful.

I LOVE this pattern. I just finished a baby blanket in blue for my pastor’s new baby. I’ve noticed some questions about some kind of border for the blanket. Is there some kind of border you would suggest for this pattern, maybe a shell stitch or something? I love to crochet, but am not very creative with making it up as I go. Any suggestions?

My Mom does this pattern all the time. After she finishes the first row she turns it around and does the first row again on the chain. This means that the scalloped row she did in step 1 becomes the bottom of the afghan. She after she completes the second Row 1 she goes on the complete it per the instructions. This results in an afghan with scallops on all sides.
