    Ok I will give that a go tonight. Can't thank you enough!

    I looked up the crochet treble stitch - which I think I have the hang of in my head so that's ok!

    I got on ok...... can do the single and chain totally fine, it's linking it all together which is the problem . My stitches seemed a bit tight and i started to get confused where to put the needle in and if I was missing stitches out. Is this normal?

    This was the problem I had with crochet for ages, if you persevere and keep having a go it will make sense in the end, I promise! I had to look at a few different books and things before I got it.

    That's good to know, I usually take to stuff like this naturally and it's aggravating me that I'm struggling with it! Thanks:o

    Here is a really good site for those who prefer a diagram to work from. It's really clear, shows all the basic stitches and uses UK terminology
