I am having the same problem. There are no pictures or instructions to help clear this up at all :/
after fasten off, rejoin CB in the “middle” of the crochet st, which is considered the center of the crochet CA st…
excuse me the center or the middle of the crochet st before the
CA crochet st.
omit my other two posts, as I too was finding the instructions confusing after many tries I folded the toe and foot lengthwise to find the center and worked from that point on which gives 18 sts on both sides and makes the toe point instead of a rectangle look.. at rounds 25 which is easier than the original instructions..I also shortened the length of the entire stocking by 4 rnds…
Hello 🙂
I am crocheting your wonderful Evergreen Christmas Stocking, but I am running into trouble in round 25. Can you explain to me, where to rejoin CB excactly? When I rejoin as you say, the pattern doesn’t add up.
Thank you so much!
