A simple pattern with a bit of texture. I love it. Baby blankets are always good gifts. I knit for charity and this pattern will be well used. Does not take much time and it is well appreciated. Thank you.

To built3010, try crocheting the foundation row with a larger hook and loosely. It might seem like it is too big, but it will work fine when you switch back to your hook size and get a couple of rows in. An alternative would be to use the "foundation single crochet" stitch (which you can search for a video tutorial online). This gets your chain and foundation row complete all in one stitch and makes it very easy to hang on to!

Thank you for the suggestion. When I didn't get an answer back in Feb. I started searching the internet for a solution and found just what you suggested. I tried the larger hook and when that didn't help I tried the foundation single crochet. I have vision problems anyway so I finally gave up, sent the yarn to my daughter and am crocheting a different pattern with yarn I can handle. My mistake was ordering the yarn over the internet without actually feeling and looking at the type of yarn involved. Lesson learned!

This is my first time using this type of yarn and I'm having problems making sure I don't skip a chain stitch as I crochet the first row. Do I need to make the chain exceptionally loose? I've been trying to feel for the opening as I go, but twice I've missed one and it's getting frustrating. Any hints on handling this yarn?

mrsdonie your not reading the pattern right. When you get down with the 1st row the end of it chain 2 (that's the turning up to the next row) then you work in the front loops only but you double crochet in @ double crochet. Really easy pattern. Every row should only have 60 double crochet. That's including the chain 2 as a stitch. Hope this helps you.

When you crochet, on the top of the single or double or any, there are two loops, sort of like a V. They want you to double crochet in the one that is facing you, or the front loop. It just creates a different look, like a ridge that you see in the picture. Hope this helps!!
