how do you get three strads of yarn ??????????

[alyssssalyn]

@dancer5104 You use three skeins. (3 balls of yarn)

[radioactivebanana922]

how are you getting the three strands? are they from three different balls of yarn?

[alyssssalyn]

@radioactivebanana922 yes

Your initial stitch is called a Slip Knot, not a slip stitch. There is a difference. Slip knots begin the work, and have the initial KNOT. The slip stitch is made only into other stitches, and does not have a knot.

If I make a blanket would this start it, if I kept going with the chain?!?!?!?

I love just using my hands :)

I was struggling before but now it's easy!

How exactly do you use 3 strands? Do you just pull apart the entire skein and cut it into 3 long strands?

[TheWolfgirl46]

@mrzkpz11 no, you don't, it just makes your works bulkier. specially if you intend on making something like a blanket. its better to have more than one strand.

do I have to use 3 strands or can it be just as nice with 1 or 2

great tutorial. Mine doesn't look as nice as yours, but I'm going to keep practicing. I find that my stitches are too tight; having difficulty getting fingers into the hole.

@ILVerdeFolletto I'm finding the same problem, but I had the same problem when using a hook.

@andreww661 I know! I've been sitting here trying and mine doesn't look quite as nice as hers. I can make the chain, but mine don't look as light and fluffy as hers. I must have fat fingers and can't seem to get my fingers through those loops as easily. I'm just going to keep practicing : )
