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
