I recently started crocheting and I came across your beautiful designs. Do you have any books, materials or classes I can purchase that shows how to get started making the drops designs. I've looked at some of the tutorials and they are very helpful but I can't find a tutorial that shows how to make the pattern from start to finish. I'm having some problems following the pattern diagram. The designs are beautiful and I would love to make a few

Where do i insert the triple treble stitches & how many stitches do I leave in-between the next triple treble stitch?

14.09.2016 - 22:23

DROPS Design :

Dear Helen, in A.2a you have to crocheet the triple tr in the 2nd tr (see arrow in diagram) and skip the next 2 tr = 1 repeat, so that you will have 3 tr unworked on previous row between each "group" with triple tr/ch/dc/ch/triple tr. Happy crocheting!
