I agree with all the comments. These directions are jacked up! Definitely need a tutorial and there are none to be found on line!

@Member 9779029 unfortunately this is not a pattern we created and are unable to offer much guidance in terms of how to finish it. I suggest heading over to the designer's site for more info. http://www.yarnspirations.com/bernat/ Hope that helps! -Kaylee, Editor of FaveCrafts.com

I am also having trouble with row 8.......I chain three and then skip to the 4th stitch to do the dtr. Do I encase the dtr stitch within the dc's or does it just hang out the back to be incorporated into the afghan at a later time?

I need help please!! I understand the directions for row 8-11 what I don't understand is how to do it. After I do the DTR, how do I work 1 dc in each of the 3 missed hdc? It looks like a mess

Skip 3, do the dtr, then go back to the ones you skipped and put a dc in each of those skipped stitches

Sandy from Carson, I printed out pattern for Herringbone Afghan and no matter what I do there's an ad for Dentastix for dogs across the second page of directions & can't read it.

blueram - Take a screen shot of the directions and save to your desktop. Then you can print it out, sans ads, by inserting it into a document. On a mac screen shot is command, shift, 4. For PC you'll have to look it up.

Another possibility is to go to print, then save it as a pdf and print it that way.

Did you have trouble with row 8 and 9 like the others when comes to the dtr? After you go back to the 3 missed stitches, how did you advance to the next part of the skip 3 hdc and dtr? i am so confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dtr (double treble crochet - Yarn over hook three times, insert hook in stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, (yo and draw through two loops on hook) 4 times.

I just started this, the pattern was on the skein of yarn. Unfortunatley, I am substituting another brand of yarn, so the gauge may be a little off. I can do the double treble stitch, but the loops are kind of loose. Any suggestions to making them less loopy? Always make the herringbone part of the pattern in the lighter color yarn.
