learning crochet
Can anyone help me with a new crochet pattern? I am trying a dishcloth as my
first project, but I don't understand what "center" means. The pattern lists the finishes size, then the materials, then it says: CENTER ch33. then it gives the instructions for row 1 and 2 and so on. I understand that, but am I supposed to do something about the CENTER ch33? Thanks for the help. Lori |

Check the copyright and see if you can post it for us. Posey gave the best advice so far. Start the pattern and see what it looks like. Than you might see what you need to do. Hope you can leagally post the pattern, than one of us will be able to help. Good luck, Dennis. P.S. Show us you work when you done and welcome. |

Could this be a round dishcloth?? I haven't crocheted in years, but this is
the only thing I could think of. Addie -- remove "nospam" to reply "LW" wrote in message news:C1PRb.833$IF1.531@fed1read01... Can anyone help me with a new crochet pattern?

CENTER ch33. then it gives the instructions for row 1 and 2 and so on. I understand that, but am I supposed to do something about the CENTER ch33? I only see one reply on this thread, although it indicates there have been others. However, I would suggest that perhaps the first ch33 is supposed to be joined into a ring, and then Row 1 is done into that ring. This is a very common way to start a crochet piece.

I'm thinking it may be the potholders/table pads a friend used to make.
You chain however many and then work down one side of the chain and up the other, i.e., the beginning chain remains straight, but you're working ovals around it. As you work, the edges start to fold over -- fold in on themselves -- and when you're done, you stitch the edges together to form a double-sided square. Your beginning chain would be on the diagonal of one side, and your sewn seam is the diagonal of the other side. -- Finished 12/14/03 -- Mermaid (Dimensions) WIP: Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe, Guide the Hands (2d one) Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

There may be a problem in the directions. For a dishcloth, with the
usual "Sugar & Cream" cotton yarn, chain 33 would be about the width of the cloth. Row 1 should be worked into this chain 33, and it's possible that Row 1 would be worked on one side of the chain, and Row 2 worked on the other side. Or, just Row 1, and when that is done, you go BACK to the CENTER chain 33 and work the pattern in the other direciton. Or, as a few mentioned, it could be a ring, but a 33 ch ring would be pretty huge. Without seeing the pattern, it's difficult to help. We need to know what it says in Row 1 and Row 2.

Look at the *whole* pattern (twice) before starting.
Are there *headings* like CENTER, BORDER, LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM?....followed by instructions for each component piece? "LW" wrote in message news:C1PRb.833$IF1.531@fed1read01...

By any chance are you making a ROUND dishcloth? If so, then there
would be some instruction after the ch 33 which fastened the end to the beginning, then you would continue with the rows. Liz in Long Island, N.Y. "RigPilot" wrote in message ...
