    Hi - The blankets on my header are round ripples and I got the pattern from www.artfire. The link is listed in my Dec. 12, 2010 post.

    I have a hexagon pattern listed in my May 7, 2010 post, and one listed in my Mar. 21, 2010 post.

    Debi Y.: I just found the attractive "Pretty Baby Cocoon" pattern on //hooksand yarns.blogspot.com; and reading it over I decided I was possibly confused for the beginning of the project.
    Do I understand correctly that "round one has: ch 3, 12 dc in 3rd ch from hook, join with a sl st to 1st dc. (12)". ?? how?
    does that ch 3 accommodate the 12 dc?
    OR
    Has the crocheter made a chain of how many? to accommodate those 12 dc?
    It is not clear to me how I can get 12 dc into that ch 3.
    I do want to make a couple of your Pretty Baby Cocoons for a hospital benefit. I truly thank you for your attention in this matter.

    Hi Jean - sorry for the confusion. For Rnd 1 you will chain 3, skip the first 2 chains and then work 12 dc into the 3rd chain. The first 2 chains do not count as a stitch, so you will have 12 dc total for Rnd 1. The chain 2 at the beginning of all the other Rnds also do not count as a stitch.

    If you have any other questions, just let me know. :)

    After I finish the baby blanket I'm crocheting for my daughter's new baby yet to be born, I'll try making this for her to cuddle him in. Looks like a winner for a newborn or one a little bit older. Thanks for sharing your pattern!

    Just found you on line .....I am so excited, plan to make those crochet hook handles due to my arthritis. Getting old is not for sissies. Loved your patterns. It was funny cause I too was at the DOLLAR TREE today and purchased some of the Peaches & Cream cotton. I use it for dish cloths Also clothes for the American Girl Doll. I am always on the hunt for yarn bargains due to my limited funds from Social Security. Thanks for the free patterns, I will try many of them.

    I'm confused with Rounds 8 & 9. Ch 2, dc in same st - What stitch? The 1st dc like the previous rounds? But then I assume you would write it like the previous rounds so I don't think it's the 1st dc. I've been crocheting for about 5 months now & don't always understand what I'm supposed to do. Thanks for your help!

      Hi there. The beginning ch 2's do not count as a stitch, so the 1st dc is the same dc that the ch 2 is in. ( I'll go back and change the way I wrote the pattern). Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

      Thanks for the quick response! I did round 8 that way. It looked correct so I started round 9. I don't have to pull it out. Life is good!

    Just want to say thanks for the pattern. It is the best and easiest pattern that I have ever made and only took a few hours to complete both the bunting and the cap. I will be making these instead of blankets for the upcoming babies in our family.
    Also I would like to know if you can give me step by step directions for the fpt and bpt stitches. I just don't understand how to do that so I always pick patterns that don't call for those. thanks so much.

    Does the front of your Pretty Baby Cocoon open up when the ribbons are untied?

    Rnd 11: Ch 2, dc in 1st dc. Dc in each ch 1 space and dc around. Join with a sl st in 1st dc.
    Does this mean there are 2 dc in each of the dc+ch1 from Rnd 10?

      Hi Shegist. There will be 1 dc in each ch-1 space and 1 dc in each dc all the way around.
      Ch 2, dc in 1st dc, dc in the next ch-1 space, dc in the next dc, dc in the next ch-1 space, dc in the next dc all the way around.

      Thank you for the clarification, I'm still a little new at this. I was either going to have only half the stitches I needed or double the amount so I didn't want to go any further until I was sure. I can't wait to finish this project :)
