crocheting your puff stitch baby beanie, having trouble with row 8. Have finished row 7, have 25 hdc and 25 puff sts. On row 7 I have a total of 67 stitches, note says do not crochet into ch 1 made to close the puff stitch. Please help me to understand the difference. thank you so much for your help
Hi Karen, I’m not sure how you ended up with 67 sts (I’m guessing that’s your count at rnd 8, and you might have worked into the closing ch-1 sps of Rnd 7?).
If you have 25 hdc and 25 puff sts at round 7, then you are on the right track. So at rnd 7 when you make the puff sts, you make a ch-1 to secure the puff st. This ch-1 does not count as a st, and thus is skipped in Rnd 8. You could place a stitch marker into a few of the ch-1’s to help you see where they are, thus making it easier to skip them in Rnd 8.
Let me know if that helps or not. :)
