I’m more confused about how to read crochet patterns than ever, but I’ve comfirmed what I remembered from my grandmother’s lesson about a basic double stitch is right. The one morsel of thought from the book is that even if I do something wrong, as long as I like how it looks, I should keep it. Done and done!
