Hold yarn with end in right hand, skein to left, yo twice
Put hook through corner to start first dc of the row
yo and pull up a loop
yo, pull through 2 loops
yo, pull through last 2 loops - just made dc (you may need to tighten the yarn end to pull the dc together a bit)
continue making all stitches on row
At end of row (NOTE: pattern in photo is granny shells, i.e. there is a space before beginning first air dc)...leave last two loops on hook and drop yarn from skein
pick up yarn end from first air dc, & undo where the end wraps around the post
Pull out yarn
yo with the end yarn; see below
pull up loop
now pull yarn all the way through the two loops
thread needle with yarn and pull yarn under the loop on top of dc (this is actually the top of the 2nd dc stitch). Put needle down through the middle of the 2nd loop you left on the hook, and down through the stitch. Cut other yarn, weave in ends. This join is called an "invisible join" --- you have just made the "top" to the very first dc you made and joined it all together
Once joined, this is how the finished row looks from the top
And this is what the finished row looks like. Can you find where the row began and ended???????
OOOOO, I can't wait to try this.
ReplyDeleteDUH!
ReplyDeleteNow I understand how to do this. Wonder why I didn't understand before?
