MORE STITCHES
Being able to count your stitches is vital and helps to
make sure that you’re following a pattern correctly. It’s
a good idea to count your stitches at the end of every
row, especially after working the first row of stitches
into your foundation chain. To count tall stitches such
as triple trebles, it’s usually easiest to count the tall side
‘stem’ of the stitch (see right), rather than the v-shaped
top of the stitch. If you made 21ch (plus 5 t-chs), you
should now have 22 double treble stitches.Make sure that you have the right number of stitches
