I suppose you c...Hi Shiro, thanks for your comment! I suppose you could try to do it from the bottom up - starting with one big chain, then decreasing rather than increasing. You could test it out, perhaps with a small chain and a few rows, to see if it makes sense, and decide from there.<br />As for Round 1, the pattern is meant to be done in a continuous round - so you DON'T do a slip stitch at the end of round 1 and turn the work around to start round 2, like some circular patterns suggest. This type of pattern here is easier because you simply keep going around and around until you're done! However, it is wise to put a stitch marker at the beginning stitch of your next round so you know exactly where it started, making it easy to know when you're on the next round. <br />I hope I'm being clear enough with this, if it still seems a mystery, please email me via the link at the top, and I can email you some more detailed technique instructions, as well as some photos of the continuous rounds. Do keep in touch and let me know how you get on!

I don't suppose there's a way to do in from the bottom up is there? I'd really like to make something like this with a hood, but I think the hood would have to go on last.<br /><br />Also, it may just be because I'm an amateur, but your instruction not to join at the end of rnd 1 confuses me. You also said not to turn and you didn't mention joining again after that. So are we supposed to crochet each even round backwards? And if we're not joining the rounds won't that leave a big slit from the first row?Shirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653576840880980925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190651767605093454.post-24728168938730781492013-04-17T12:30:46.866+01:002013-04-17T12:30:46.866+01:00Thank you!
