Hi Carol, the safari animals are worked going through both loops. Traditionally, you crochet in both loops unless otherwise indicated in the pattern.

I am trying to crochet a scarf with half double crochet but my scarf is leaning/tilting. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Wish I’d of found this site years ago – so much easier to follow than videos of books and being a leftie made it more so when I taught myself back to the mid sixties as everything was for right-handed people…. Just taught a friend how to crochet and am going to send her a link to this site
Thank you for creating this site.

Thank you for clearing up the matter of slip stitch and single crochet. I can’t tell you how many people are doing this wrong. Gladly, I’m not one of them, but now I have proof. Thanks Again.

Hi Cindy, I’m not sure why you’re ending each row of your blanket with a slip stitch, is that part of the pattern you are using? It would depend on the pattern if you are to crochet into the slip stitch or not. If you are describe the pattern you are using in further detail, maybe I can help you better

I get confused by the stitch that appears to be formed by the slip stitch. Do I crochet into that one when I come to the end of my first row? The side of my blanket is slanting inward and my stitches are decreasing. When I try to crochet into what looks like the last stitch it is tight and doesn’t look right afterwards. None of the beginner tutorials cover this.
