Hi Sandra, Sure! You can purchase patterns individually. The membership is just one option for folks who crochet a lot. Here's more info on the 2 different options: What You Ought to Know About Shopping in the Store

Hi Rachel,

I am writing you a few lines today. I wanted to tell you that i love your site. I know you have a $10 dollar a month fee for your patterns. I work and don’t get a lot of time to crochet which is my favorite pastime. Is there any way to buy your patters without paying the $10 dollars a monthy? Hope to hear from you soon!

1. Do you have a diagram with arrows pointing to the first new stitch in a row of double crochet? Where do you insert hook?

2. Which loop goes with the post, the one to the left or right of post?

3. Is the turning chain the first stitich? Next stitch? Show a diagram pointing to the first stitch in a double crochet across a row.

4. when you crochet into the last turning chain of a row, just before you turn your work, is the counted as a stitch?

I collect dolls and crochet many outfits for them, and never sell them. I like the double crochet cross stitch, but wanted a more solid stitch finish. I experimented with several ideas. The one I like best is to single crochet and double crochet rows alternately between the cross stitch rows. It still has an airy look, yet is not so heavy, especially if I am using large yarn. I generally sew the underclothes so the outfits will not look so bulky. I started collecting dolls when I was a little girl, I am now a proud 70 year old, and I have approximately 300 to 400 dolls that measure from 3″ to over 36″. Rachel, I love your helpful hints.

Well there you go. There is something new under the sun after all. This is a stitch which deserves a few hours of play and experimentation. I would love to see what some of crochet’s better designers can conjure up involving this stitch. Please tell them to hurry!

After making your chain, which chain do you begin to start you first stitch. Is it the fifth chain from the hook to work the treble?

Thanks
