14 parts Ongoing An assortment of crochet patterns I have written. I'll add more as I come up with them. For every pattern, I always use my beginning tail as my stitch counter for the beginning/end of every row. Instead of a magic ring, I simply chain 2 and use the first chain as my magic ring. Wherever possible, I tend to use rounds or ovals. I don't care for straight edge patterns as mine never seem to turn out evenly. I can't say why and, as I've been crocheting for nearly fifty years, it's not for lack of practice. I always work in the back/third bump of any chain I use, and I always use each loop of the end chain on my project to turn the corner. I am also never happy with my final results and will often go back to change this or that detail. I suggest using these patterns as guides rather than strict instructions. If you find any glitches, please let me know so I can edit. Tah. Happy Hooking.
