Summer by the Sea Shell (pictured on the cover of this issue)

Submitted by jsetzer on Fri, 2010-03-12 12:31.

I'm having a problem with the beginning yoke instructions for this pattern. The stitches(shells) are going in the opposite direction of the stitches in the photo! I think I'm following the directions correctly. Please help!
This is such a lovely design, and I really want to crochet it! The directions seem confusing to me.

Thank you for your help on this pattern, now I know where to go for help on these things. I am having trouble getting this magazine from my newsagent and would like to subscribe. I love your novelty items in it. Is there any way of finding some back orders please. Also do you ever have patterns for trunian crochet?

Good Cause Afghan

If you're following the written out directions for this afghan, you'll find that Round 5 says to "work long dc in center dc of 7 skipped dc on round 2;" but the blueprint instructions clearly show the long dc being done to the skipped 7 dcs which start ON ROUND 3.

 

I hope this little typo spotting helps people out.  I think it needs corrected, especially since it's one of the free patterns here.

The gauge is stated as Rounds 1-5 of square motif = 3 x 3". For size S/M, a motif is 6 rounds and the schematic shows it as measuring 3". Is the gauge incorrect?
