simka2 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I want to make these, but I want to work them in rounds. Specifically, the fan part. For whatever reason my stitch books never made the move to Texas and I am struggling with figuring out rows 2 and 3 in rounds. Thanks in advance! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fan-edged-armwarmers Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I don't crochet much but I looked up other people's notes. According to handmadegypsy on Rav (see page 1 of the projects): On the fan parts, I used sl st to move to the right part of the fan to start the next round (for better or for worse! It worked pretty well). Sounds like the stitch pattern stays the same; that you might have to adjust for the placement of the fans. Hopefully someone with more crochet experience can help.

meggie Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Are you chaining 30 in the beginning instead of 33? What specifically are you having problems with? Transitioning to the next round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder, I read the same thing, but for some reason I have really struggling with getting this pattern to work on in my head I "know" what she is saying, but I cannot even figure out exactly which rows are repeating. I worked up the original pattern and frogged it because the seem was so bad!!! Ugh, I might have to draw out the diagram to see the pattern :glare: Are you chaining 30 in the beginning instead of 33? What specifically are you having problems with? Transitioning to the next round? When I am working the fans I can get the first to rows with no problem. repeating the 1st row onto the second is where I am struggling with the stitch counting. If I slip stitch the fan row together (2) how many do I crochet up and where do I attach for the 3rd row (which I think is a repeat of the first row, but off centered from the fans below it). Then I guess I am actually going to be repeating rows 3 and 4. So, my real struggle is row 3 if worked in a round. Can you follow that? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simka2 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Okay, it is row 10 with the Dtr that is throwing me. I know how to do the Dtr, but I cannot figure out how to keep working the pattern. Uggghhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simka2 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Okay, the ladies over at Ravelry came to my rescue!!! I think I know what I am doing now. :tongue_smilie: Note to self: Do not attempt to adapt a pattern late at night after a glass of wine. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 ok, what I did was chain two, sc at the top of the 3rd DC (the middle one in each arch), ch 3, sc in the 3rd DC all the way around. I would skip the dtr at the end and just add the 5 DC in the ch spaces and do a SC to attach it to the base in between each arch. I would just keep working that all the way around. Sorry it took so long, I had to do it myself to understand the instructions. I would just adjust the pattern and take out some of the steps since they confuse me when working in the round.

Ok, hopefully they were of more help than me (since I am just guessing and have no idea what I'm doing! :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
