round 14 is not working for me – starting with 1dc flo in the next 2 stitches- also don’t quite understand Round 11 – work around Row 9?
It’s a beautiful basket, but I literally cannot learn without a video showing every step. I know that there’s a video showing the stitch, but since I’m still kind of new to crocheting I can’t learn without the video. I love seeing everyone else’s basket on the Facebook page though. 🙂
I really like the crochet along….but there are no videos.
There is a stitch tutorial video but I will not have a video for each pattern 🙂
Round 14 not working for me. I do have the correct number of stitches but following the count in the instructions, it does not work.
Hi! Are you getting too many or too little?
The written pattern for the basket calls for 2 sc blo between the ldcflo stitch in the first row of the pattern on row 14. The video and the photo show 4 scblo. Am I reading it incorrectly?
Hi! When you do the repeat from * to * you end up with 4 in a row
I’m sorry, I meant row 13 rather than 14.
Breann – I think I have 14 correct but am having trouble with 15. Every other lecture flo ends me up in the middle of a lecture flo from the previous row.
