I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in the afghan stitch, or hairpin lace. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Nearly all of my crochet magazines, leaflests, etc are over 5 years old. Many are from the 80's and before. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
I have been a crocheter for over 30 years.

It is fun and relaxing, and I can give away my finished projects as gifts.
I would like to get more experince in the afghan stitch, and do hairpin lace.
I read somewhere that in the 1800's, crochet was a man's trade.

Hi Aida! Thanks for asking. Sorry for taking so long. I've been working on this afghan. First of all, maybe this is just is what confuses you. Rnd 7 has no increases in stitches, because, although you
Hi Toni! Thanks for asking! That is a good question! What I would do is find a similar pattern for an adult afghan and use that amount. Where did you find the pattern? I may be able to find a similar

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for waiting. My Internet crashed, and I just got it back. I found the leaflet in a craft store and saw the pattern. You are right about not knowing how many rows there will be, and
