The problem I'm having is knowing where to start and stop counting. In the picture you are referring to is that 6 visible stitches or 5? Do I count that furthest one over on the right? I've been looking in other forums and someone suggested using a stitch marker when I do my turns. I'm hoping that will solve this problem....? I'm not sure why I can't seem to get my rows right.

This will ensure that the beginning of your row is the same height as the rest of your row. To count the stitches, try counting the number of sideways "V" shapes that are created on the top of the row, because each time you make a stitch it will make that sideways "V" shape on the top. If you don't know what I mean I say "V" shape, take a look at the first pic in this post: http://www.crochetspot.com/crochet-in-front-back-or-both-loops/ The V is created by the front and back loop of the stitch.

I have the general motion of crocheting down but I can't figure out how to properly end/begin my rows. I keep ending up with crooked edges because I can't make my turns properly and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to even count the stitches (where to start, etc). I would appreciate any help/insight you could offer. Hi! I have the general motion of crocheting down but I can’t figure out how to properly end/begin my rows.
