Hi Pink Numbers, I have been asked by a lady on the Knit Your Square thread how I managed to solve my curling border problem. I hope it is ok if I give her the link above to your tutorial. I guess there will be others on there who will be interested too. Thanks again, Kath

I am really struggling to get to grips with my crochet, I seem to have gone backwards if that's at all possible??

I'm trying to find a tutorial for a really really easy beginner square. I did try one yesterday and it ended up not quite square but not quite a circle either :whistle:

Any help really appreciated!

By the way, where did the confused smilie go???

How about this

Where have you been to have only just missed the shruggie man smilie :rotfl: A few people have been upset by him and the rolleyes smilie, so we've all had them removed

Arkonite Babe these are brilliant instructions in both words and you tube videos to crochet a granny square, I learnt last month and have been crocheting like a mad woman ever since!

Hi Pink_numbers,I've saved the link now so I can refer to it later.I'm only about 1/4 of the way there with my blanket,but at least I'll know how to finish it off properly.Thanks a lot.

Hi All,

I now have some cheap yarn and some crochet hooks! :j:j:j

I started last night and can mange just one simple row. I dont think it looks that bad, thought id just practice trying to get the tension right, but im still not sure if its too tight or loose.

Anyway, i cant find something that in the simplest terms tells me how to go back, (is that double crochet?)

I just want to make squares or a blanket, im not brave enough for granny squares yet

Thanks

You just turn the row around.

Double crochet is the name of one of the stitches. Be aware that American and British crochet stitch names are different. For example, our treble stitch is called a double stitch in America.

Hi All, this is going to sound like a really silly question but for a double crochet stitch I have been wrapping the yarn round then inserting into the stitch. I am sure this is right as I have been following the you tube videos, but have just got a book from the library 'Instant Expert' Crochet and it shows a double crochet without wrapping the yarn round first, am I going mad! I just thought I was getting the hang of things too:o
