Why do some patterns ask you to turn after ch 1 when going to the next row? Can I ignore that?
Deja Jetmir
I’m not quite understanding the question. Are you saying at the end of a row, it states to CH 1 then turn? Do you have a full instruction I can see so I understand better. 🙂
Stacy
Yes exactly. Sl-st to join ring, CH1, turn, SC DC to end, join with sl-st, CH1, turn, SC DC to end…
Deja Jetmir
Okay, gotcha. In this particular case you will need to turn your work. It sounds like there is a particular stitch pattern going on SC, DC, then when you go back in on the next round it is DC in the SC and SC in the DC. If you don’t turn your work, you will have an SC in the SC and DC in the DC which will throw the whole pattern off. 🙂

OK! Thank you so much Deja for your quick response. Love your tutorials!
