So your foundation sc length is your circumference, correct? When I lay out my foundation chain, without stretching it, should I have exactly the length I want or should I accommodate less for any stretching?
Deja Jetmir
Hi there, the foudation will be the circumference, but it can change as you start to work into it. That is why you want to check your gauge before you begin. It should stay relatively close, but you want to double check it as you work to make sure it is staying the correct size. 🙂

I hadn’t checked my stitch count for at least 5 or 6 rows~~~ I’m getting fewer stitches!! Also my SC in CH 1 space isn’t coinciding w/ pattern instructions for rows 3 & 4??? What am I doing wrong??
Deja Jetmir
You are probably missing a stitch somewhere (possibly the last stitch of the row). Make sure to count each row as you go so you can make sure you aren’t missing any stitches. 🙂
Constance
Thank you! I took out about 6 rows (or more) and got back to my original 54 stitches & then started counting each row & so far all is well❣️ Knew it was something wrong in beginning or ending of each row😊

I’m just looking for clarification on hook size. it says 9mm (us- N) which is 10mm. Just wondering if it should he 9 or 10mm. thanks
Deja Jetmir
Hi there, when getting into 9mm and 10mm hook sizes the letter designation will vary depending on the manufacturer. Always go by the mm size and not the letter. 🙂

This video made me pick up my crochet hooks after almost 30 years. Thanks for the tutorial! You are a great teacher. A lot of my previous knowledge has come back and I’m into crochet again (I have made two cowls and 4 cuffs in a week: moss stitch combined with puff stitch). The foundation stitch was new to me and I got it right straight away as you explain it so well. Thanks again.
Deja Jetmir
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for your kind words.

How many stitches should I use for a men’s size?
Deja Jetmir
How big do you want the circumference?

For my son who wears a size 18 men’s shirt size. I started with 64 stitches bulky yarn and 9 mm. Hook? Loks big..help..and thanks
Deja Jetmir
I would probably go for 54 stitches. The 64 will give you an extra 10 inches on the circumference. Each 4 STS makes an extra 2 inches. 🙂

Great video… I don’t see the download button under the video. Where is the link for the pattern?
Deja Jetmir
Thanks so much. There should be a little toolbar under the pattern that says “Scribd” the download button is right on there. Do you see the toolbar?
