obviously need 2 colors totalling 1200 yards, but how much of each?
1: how much main color and how much contrast color = “about 1200 yards?”
2: do we assume we’re supposed to turn at the end of every row or are we to work on the same side where you don’t specify to turn?
I am fairly new to crochet but I love this pattern. When you do 6 + 3 such as 18 + 3 in your video. Should I end up with 18 DC stitches on R1 including the 3 chains (counts as DC). Then R2 – 18 SC (counting the 2 chains) as the first SC?
