do you know how to decrease by 1 chain of 5 at the end of a row. I have a mesh pattern and dont know where to go from here.

MESH PATTERN:

ch 5 and 1 sc in each ch-5 arch to end, join with sc in 1st lp and turn. Rep for mesh pattern. Pattern is worked back and forth in rows but joined at the end to form a "rnd".

Now the pattern calls for me to:

Dec 1 pat at end of next row by eliminating one ch-5 at end of row.

could you send me a personal message if you are able to help me.

THANK YOU

@msBELENO hello....I think it wants you to decrease once .....so at last two stitches in the row you change the two stitches into one using the technique in this video and then chain 5.....chanel@mikeys helpdesk :)

Thank you for the video, very clear. I'm a beginner who has set herself the ridiculous task of making a panda teddy for her friend. Big mistake! But the video has definately helped!

@thesophiejayne I don't comment to much because of the 1000's of comments that come in each month... But I will say yours stuck me... Nothing is ever a mistake... the first key to success is desire... you have the desire... therefore you will succeed because you are motivated by a project! Most people when they start, they have no idea what they want to do and just fumble without a goal. I admire your courage and just want to say... KEEP UP THE EFFORT DAHLING!

I was halfway through a new project and when I got to this part in the pattern realized that I didn't have a clue how to decrease the stitches. I appreciate the video - so much easier than trying to learn from still shots and text!

You're a really helpful teacher.

I'm a beginner and I find that your videos are really easy to understand.

I like the fact you are so mellow while teaching and you tend to repeat things melodically. (I've watched a few videos so far and noticed you sort of 'sing' the steps. It becomes one with you haha.

But yeah, you being so mellow and melodic helped me realize that crochet can be peaceful and doesn't have to be rage inducing- so thank you for that!
