ReplyDeleteSharleen,I noticed that I have a typo in the first Row. Was that the confusion? Or is there something else? Biz
Row 1- chain 3, 2sc in 2nd ch from hook, then (typo) 3SC, not 3RD, in the next ch and end with 2sc in the same space as the original 1st sc.
Ok. It was the typo. I'm a beginner and it was confusing. Thanks!
