  11. Hello! I am not new to thread crochet but I am new to reading patterns. I have a few ?s. Shouldn't Row 11 say shell in every other dc? I used the picture to get to Round 19. It is very beautiful!!

    Stupid question: While doing the pineapples there is a decorative stitch dc2-tog,ch 1 Now I have been closing the dc2-tog with a chain stitch and then adding another chain but maybe I should just close the dc2=tog with a chain and go onto the next stitch?

    1. Hi Jill,

      I'm sorry, I didn't have a chance to reply to you regarding Round 11 sooner.
      Yes, you are right, in Round 11, shell must be made in every other dc. I fixed that in the pattern now. Thank you for catching that mistake and letting me know.

      As for dc2-tog in pineapples, I did only one chain and went onto the next stitch. If you prefer, you can close with one chain and then make another one, I don't think it's going to make a huge difference in how it's going to look.

      I hope this helps!
      Thank you again for catching my mistake. Happy crocheting!

  13. This is so beautiful and the loveliest thing I've ever been able to follow the pattern for- thank you for opening the door to these for us beginners. I am stuck however on round 22. It seems that I don't have enough shells or there is a mistake as you jump from 21 to 22. Is there any way you could look at that round and tell me if I I just need to perhaps undo a couple rounds and try again?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Love this pattern thank you. I have been trying to print this pattern but because of the pictures on the side it cuts off half of the pattern. Can someone tell me how to fix this. Thank You so much

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ihave the same problem on row 22. I'm assuming it's an error in the pattern and am eliminating the second shell.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I've redone this 3 times. Row 16 doesn't end correctly. Is there a correction anyplace. It alternates 2 sc In one rosette and 5 in the next. I really want to make it but I've been wasting my time
