How do you count double crochet stitches?
You can count the stitches by looking at either the stitch post or the top loops of the stitch. Don't forget to count the beginning turning chains as a stitch.
What does tch mean in crocheting?
Turning chain. These are the stitches you make before you turn your work to begin another row. The number varies with each stitch. These stitches bring your work to the correct height before you make additional stitches. For single crochet that tch does not count as a stitch. For double crochet and all taller stitches, it does count as a stitch.
How many crochet stitches are there in an inch of single chain?
This varies with the yarn, the hook size and the tension. You have to make a sample, count and measure.
Crochet single crochet one row and double next?
That is a long stitch. Just count 4 rows down and insert your hook in the stitch in line with the stitch on your present row but on the row 4 rows down. You will have to work very loosely and pull up your golden loop so that your stitches on the present row remain even and your work doesn't pull in.
How do you crochet skip next 5 double treble?
To skip the next 5, you count the next 5 and do not do any stitches in them. Just pass right over them and do whatever they tell you to do next.
How many chain crochet stitches to make 88?
To make 88 single crochets, you would make 89 chain stitches and go into the second chain from hook to make your first single crochet. To make 88 double crochets, you would make 90 chain stitches and go into the 4th chain from hook. The first 3 skipped chains count as a stitch which is why you are ending up with only 2 less than the original chain.
In knitting an afghan how do you increase afghan by half or double without losing pattern?
Try casting on twice as many stitches. Be sure to count the number of stitches it takes to make a full pattern and see that your total number of stitches is evenly divisible by that number of stitches per pattern. In fact, I sometimes do the math before I take the time to cast on all those stitches. (Didn't they tell us in elementary school that we really would need to know arithmetic? LOL!) And, of course, you will take into account any of the stitches which create a border.
Do you count the stich on the crochet hooks?
No, you don't count the loop on the hook as a stitch.
How do you add a new skein of yarn to the one you are knitting with?
* There is no 'cast on' in crocheting. 'Cast on' is a knitting term. Crochet is generally started with a simple loop repeated to form a chain. * You don't cast on exactly because you have only one stitch at a time on the hook. In knitting it is called casting on because you are putting a whole row of stitches on a needle. Instead in crochet we make a "foundation chain." Determine the number of stitches you want in a row and make a chain of that many stitches. If you plan to do single crochet, add one additional chain to count as the first single crochet of the second row after you turn. For a row of half double crochet, make it two extra chains and for a double crochet, make it three extra chains.
How many single crochet stitches with a 5.5ml hook in a size 7.5 hat?
It depends on the size of yarn you're using (thicker less stitches and thin more stitches) and what your crochet tension is (gauge). Usually a pattern will indicate how many stiches should be in an inch. If not, single crochet an inch or two with the hook and yarn you intend to use and then measure an inch and count how many stiches are in that inch. If your pattern does not have a gauge for a size 7.5 hat, I'd use your 1 inch crocheted gauge square to measure around and up a size 7.5 hat you already know fits and use multiplication from those results to determine stiches per row and how many rows. If you're talking size
How many chains do you crochet to make a twin sized afghan single stitch with a 7 count peak?
That's a difficult question to answer without more information - like the pattern you are hoping to make. Since you note a 7 count peak I think you may be asking about a ripple afghan. If that is the case and you want 7 stitches on either side of your hill and valley, the foundation chain would be a multiple of 17 + 16. I would suggest possibly 152 for a twin size. Crochet Cabana has a pattern called Donovan's Ripple Afghan which may suit your purposes. If you are not talking about a ripple afghan as noted, then this would not be the appropriate number of chains.
How do you crochet the second row?
The technique for crocheting a second row in a piece differs for each stitch. For example, for single crochets, you go up one chain, turn and go into the first loop on your piece (the top that looks like a braid or a v). For double crochet, you generally chain up 3 and go into the second stitch of the row. The number of chains needed may vary depending on the personal tension of the crocheter and how tall your stitches are. However, it is important to note that in single crochet, the chain up does NOT count as a stitch and in double and triple crochet it does. This makes a difference in which stitch is worked as your final stitch of the succeeding rows. If you miss the last stitch, or you go into the wrong first stitch, you will lose or add stitches on each row causing your work to go in directions you did not plan. You might like to check tutorials on Youtube which demonstrate the technique.
