Do you only slip stitch into the top of the chain 3 in the first round or in every round?
ReplyDeleteIn every round! Thanks for the question. I'm sorry that it wasn't clear.
ReplyDeleteIs fdc a typo in Round 3? If not, what is it?
ReplyDeleteIt was a Typo. Thank you!
DeleteDo you count the ch 3 as the first stitch every time?
ReplyDeleteyes. Thank you for the question.
DeleteThere was no increase....used 6.50 for extra lg and came out like a sock. 56 all way to end?
ReplyDeleteThe increase is in the first couple of rounds as you can see from the round count and from my pictures. Check your gauge.
