Linda Williams so question would I continue the 12+2 to make it bigger
yes, but measure how big the 12 + 2 is using your yarn and hook. remember that the pattern will take up part of the inches just by the zigzag.
Well I was thinking 46 by how ever long I felt was right
that sounds about right, just keep holding it up for the length or until you get tired of making it
Cool I figured since I am sick and can’t go back till no fever I do something easy and useful
good idea
The problem is I will have a fever and it will go away and come back a few hours later and now I got a rash along with it so I have no idea but Dr tomorrow
Like it
I have a chevron stitch but don’t know how many chains to start it says multiple of ll+1 and I don’t understand
?
I have done this before…
Looks simply uncomplicated.
