Also you are again turning it, which leave me wondering if you are working from the end/beginning where is the 2nd one? Why not just put the double crochet into the hole and treat like you are decreasing, it fills the hole and you don't add on an extra stitch?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006671676989020553.post-42187122414781733122006-11-06T11:02:00.000-05:002006-11-06T11:02:00.000-05:00The scarf sounds like it will be gorgeous when it&...The scarf sounds like it will be gorgeous when it's done.

Now, some people ch 3 then turn, some turn then ch 3. In Dee's method, you actually turn in the middle to the stitch combination. Ch3, yo and insert hook into the 2nd ch, yo & pull through the stitch and 1 loop, THEN turn and skip 1 dc and work into the 2nd dc. I've found that I have to talk to myself to keep from doing a yo at this point for my dc.<br>This creates a little diagonal stitch that may look funny in some yarn. In a basic acrylic worsted yarn I find it hardly noticable. But, it does get rid of that awful looking hole!<br>I usually ch 2, turn and then work into the first dc (don't skip the first dc) Then the ch 2 is NOT counted as the first stitch, and I don't have to work into the turning chain at the end of the next row. I use this whenever I'm going to be adding a border and the ch 2 is not noticable. However, I don't teach this because it can confuse people, do I count that turning chain or not, do I skip the first stitch or not?<br>I think I'll take up Dee's new method!<br>JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006671676989020553.post-4485362275349089562006-11-08T22:53:00.000-05:002006-11-08T22:53:00.000-05:00crochehooked what do you mean turn in the middle? ...crochehooked what do you mean turn in the middle?
