[Nfb-krafters-korner] crochet question

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Hi Cathy,
 
Let me explain how to do this.  Once you have made your chain and DC  in 
the third chain from your hook,.  DC in each chain until you are at the  first 
chain.  You need to put 3 double crochets [DC] into the end chain so  you 
can turn around that corner and DC back up the other side.  You need to  put 
3 DC at the end chain and slip stitch into the top of the Chain that you  
began at.  You will need to chain 3 before starting the DC.  
 
At each corner you need to put 3 DC at each end [2 ends on this] into the  
middle 3 DC to go around to the other side.
 
This will make it grow both longer and wider,.
 
I have never made a blanket this way, but I have made socks and done the  
toe this way.

hi  crocheters,

I have been attempting to make a loom knit baby blanket but  it has not 
been working out, so I am going to attempt to crochet it instead.  what I would 
like to do is a technique whose  name I don't know,  .  but what it 
involves  is to chain, then double crochet in every chain,  then go around to the 
other side of the chain and double crochet that side as  well, before 
continuing along with the blanket. I believe it would look nicer  this way. also it 
would be easier to single crochet around the edge easier  later too. 

however, I can't remember exactly the procedure for  going  around to the 
back of the chain? do I chain a few times,before  moving to the back of the 
chain or not?  then do I begin in the first  chain and crochet in that, or do 
I crochet  in to the back of the double  crochet on the first side?



also, maybe this technique is not a  good idea for a blanket?if so, please 
let me know that. I am noticing that the  chain seems to be pulling the work 
in tight, so thought the double crochets on  both sides might help. but 
maybe it will make it worse?

I remember  learning this technique but can't remember what I was making. 
seems like I  learned it in a class here however.
thanks for any  help.

Cathy
