This is how I do most of my blankets. Since I am making them for my kids I find it easier to fix the blanket if they pull some of it apart. I start all rows with ch3, it will seem a bit long but you use that extra to finish the next row. I dc across the whole row including the last space (which is the first space from the previous row.) Dc in the last space, then ch 3 to start the same. I finish my blankets with a sc all the way around & they look even on both sides.

Andrea–just picturing this in my head, but I think the dc between dcs would make it the height of a hdc, since you’re not exactly crocheting UNDER the stitch. I WOULD, however, chain only 2 at the beginning of the row. I’d have to do a swatch to really see how it would affect it. But I really like the looks of this stitch!

That is a great idea!

You could certainly try it that way, but that is not how I’ve done it. Thanks for the idea!

I will do a new tutorial about beginning and ending rows! I gave a preliminary explanation in the comments above. I am so glad you’re interested.

I based this tutorial on a project I did that was worked in the round in spirals, so there was no ending of rows. However, for the sample, I started the first row exactly the same way as a normal double crochet row. To begin the 2nd row, I chained 3 and dc’ed between the next 2 dcs. To end the second row, I double crocheted between the initial ch3 and the first dc of the first row. I know this is kind of wordy, so I’ll make my next tutorial on this topic. Thanks for all of the comments!
