[@regantayman4589]

I recently completed this project and I love it. My question is how you get your edges so straight? On mine you can see the chain two stitch for turning and it doesn't leave a straight edge. Thank you for the beautiful pattern!

[@KnitcroAddict]

Thanks Regan 🙏🏽😊 Mine aren’t 💯 straight either, don’t worry. A little is okay, when you wear it, it’ll look good. You can try to chain 3 at the beginning of the row instead of chain 2, and that will count as a double crochet. It’ll make it a little straighter. I think it’ll be good without, just wear it for a while and see how it looks. You’re very welcome ❤️

[@mahikreations]

I chained one stitch instead of two (loose stitch not too tight) and it gives a very straight edge, I do this with all my projects now except when I use triple crochet for which I would do two chain stitch!

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

I LOVE this! I'm going to have to make this!!😁

I had to start this as soon as I saw how easy it was. That yarn looked more like a 3 weight to me so I'm using a 3 weight cotton with a 4.5mm hook. I'm so excited to have started it. I'd love to do this in a lighter weight yarn. What's the stitch multiple if there is one?
