@sylviac1971 Go to my channel and search for back to basics scarf in the playlists. You will learn each stitch and make a scarf as you learn.

you are the best at replying...I feel intrrusive when I ask an off the video question..but my knitting friends in good fun of course are poking fun at me regarding this potato chip ruffle scarf pattern I am trying to crochet from Lionbrand site..they have completed their pattern in knit...and I am determined to show them myy results soon, well maybe not soon...I was instructed to use a K hook, and no way after practicing many, many chains of 141 in my mind is this ever going to come to 60 in...

@sharfriends Why not just make it longer? Remember the ruffles width will also add a little to the length.

@Bethintx1 Also, I apologize When I replied last time I did not realize you were referring to the potato chip scarf pattern. I get a lot of messages on different videos and sometimes I do not make the connection to a previous discussion and who is who.

Your videos are the best...thank you, thank you..as a beginner you have helped me tremendously..this is a rea quick question on reading a pattern, off the subject of your video I know...If a pattern calls for 141 ch stitches and the overall finish is to be 60', am I correct in thinking that if my 141 chains runs way short that I am making my chain to tight or should I use a larger needle to accompolish 60 inches for the requied foundation size...

[Bethintx1]

@sharfriends Yes. But the pattern may have you add a border. So look at the pattern and where it says Gauge. do a swatch at least twice the number of stitches and rows on the gauge and measure it. This will be more accurate.

I LOVE this! Other videos make you "find the V" and I end up so messy it's crazy, but this method is super simple. Thnak you. I added it as a project on my ravelry page so I can go back to it quickly, but it's so easy I may not need to!

this looks great, but you are going too fast :O(

Thanks Beth, the sc base chain video really helped me. I like the way you put the beginning knot on the hook also.

Thanks, this video helped me a lot!

[sharfriends]

yes, make it longer ;) After purchasing a larger needle wth no success on the length, I thought the same...my main concern in the beginning was somehow that my finished product would not be correct if I went off pattern on my own...thanks for telling me that is ok..I can still do all the stitches right? 141 foundation or longer...Thanks for bearing with me on all of my beginner confusion...Happy Thanksgiving...Sharo
