Hi I have a question about your xsmall dog sweater from 2017 and I wasn’t sure where I could contact you from. I am new to crocheting and every time I try to change the 37 and then do the half double stitch back as 36 I don’t get remotely close to 36. So I guess my question is am I to do a normal chain and also does the half double stitch count as one or two because it’s not coming out right and I have re-done at least the first seven lines over and over about five times and it’s still not coming out correctly,Could you please help me?
Do you all have a patern to follow for the cupcake?
