When crocheting, (a scarf), how do you turn around and start a new row? and how do u easily not skip stiches?

Answer 1

When you are working on one row and you reach the end, turn it around like you want to look at the back and just continue crocheting. As for skipping stitches, count your stitches on every row. If you are chaining a certain number of stitches at the end of a row, you should be crocheting into that chain for your last stitch (unless the pattern says otherwise). Here are some websites you might find helpful.

By the way, when the answerer above said to crochet INTO the V you see when looking at your work from the top, what she means is to crochet just under that V. If you crochet through it, you will give your work a ridged effect (some patterns call for that.) I just wanted to clarify. Those links should give you some pointers on that too.

Answer 2

I tie a piece of scrap yarn around a completed stitch to help indicate the front or right side of the scarf. When you come to the end of the row chain 1 or 2 (1 for single crochet, 2 for double crochet stitches) then turn the scarf so you are on the back side also known as the wrong side. Your first stitch is right next to the bottom of the chain stitch and it does look like a "V". I frequently count my stitches. It is a way of taking a short break. Plus, It is less frustrating when I can find my mistakes early. It is easier to see stitches when you use a lighter colored yarn than a dark color. Hope this helps.:)

Answer 3

Just turn the fabric around. The very top of the row you just finished should look something like a braid. EACH of those braid V's is a stitch and you need to crochet into each of them. Until you get used to what you're looking at, you should count every row as you finish it and make sure you have the same number of stitches you started with. It's a VERY common beginner's mistake to skip beginning or end stitches, or even to make new ones, and end up with scarves that get wider or narrower every row.

Answer 4

Hi usually when you get to the end of the row your pattern will say chain two or something like that and turn. When you turn your yarn you are then ready to start another row. Usually the pattern will tell you if the chain two or three that you made counts as the first stitch. You then just continue the pattern. Hope this helps you out. Please let me know if I can be of more help. I know how frustrating having something not turn out right can be.

Answer 5

When you turn it, make sure you chain one so you can reach the first stitch in the row without making a funny shape. How to not skip stitches is just by experience. When you inspect your work and you see skipped stitches, it'll be ingrained on your memory! Work with inexpensive yarn for your first few projects, and don't plan on giving them as gifts.
