I have the first row done but I don't know how to start a new row! I'm a beginner. Help!

@TheGlitterCupcakes hello there... so after you do your chain you want to work into the loops of the chain to make your first row...if you can tell me exactly where your stuck I can try to explain it better to you let me know....Cathy@ The Crochet Crowd Helpdesk :)

@mikeyssmail Well i'm at the end of my first row i'm trying to start a new row but when I go into the loops that are already made it gets really tight. Is that what i'm suppose to do like go back through all the loops?

[mikeyssmail]

@TheGlitterCupcakes hi :) yes you go back through the chain stitch you made but sounds like yours are tooo tight try loosening up your chain stitches a bit and see if that helps when you go back over it to put stitches in it.....it takes time to get the stitches just right but you are doing great!!!! :) I am going to post another video on your youtube page to help you .....Cathy

@mikeyssmail Thank you!

@CassyDietrich hello....It really depends on what sz blanket you want to make.....if you have a blanket in your house thats the same size as the blanket you want to make hold your chain up to that to measure against it....hope that helps....Cathy@The Crochet Crowd Helpdesk.....:)

[CassyDietrich]

What size of chain works best for making a blanket?

@bossylady1127 hey.... if your not going into the very last stitch of the rows that may be causing the ends to be uneven or if the edges aren't to bad ,they should be pretty much straight, but not perfect.....thats normal.....cathy @mikeys helpdesk :)
