Thank you for your quick reply. I’m sure you are a very busy person. I will try it. I’ve never heard or done that stitch.
Thanks again,
Rose

Hi Rose, I think the pattern wants you to work in the space that is crocheted by the ch-30 that you made on the previous row. Here's a post about chain spaces and how to work in them: What is a Chain Space (ch-sp)? You stitch count will be 13 + 40 + 13 + 40 = 106

Hi Rachel,
I love your site. I m making a small crochet purse with a handle but im confused wih his sentence. I was wondering if you could explain this sentence to me. It is the handle of he purse.

16: Ch 1 (does not count as st), work 1 sc in same st as join and in each of the next 12 sts, work 40 sc over ch-30, 1 sc in each of the next 13 sts, 40 sc over ch-30 — 106 sts.

How do you work 40 stitches over 30. How do I get 106 stitches. All around I started with 66 stitches until I added the 30 for the handle.

Have I completely confused you? An help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rose

Hi Janet, you can use this tutorial to see how: http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-change-colors-in-crochet/
It is actually a tutorial for how to change colors in crochet, but it’s the same method you would use to add a new skein, just that you’ll be using the same colored yarn instead of changing the color.

Hi Amy, you’d do the first single crochet as you normally would. Then start the second single crochet by inserting your hook into the same stitch that you inserted your first single crochet into (instead of inserting your hook into the next stitch). That way both single crochets are started by inserting your hook into the same stitch.

Hi!
Duh………….why didn’t think of that. Just to simple I guess LOL.
Thanks ever so much _I really like this stich and could never accomplish it because each row
would be smaller.

Again thanks .I’ll be making a purse with the HDC.

Thanks, a specific category would make the archive easier to search but I think I have bookmarked most of them.
