 =  | Passage for curtain rail |
|
| On the front row are crocheted :
(1 half double crochet (or 3 chain stitch or 3 chain stitches for the 1st double crochet), 3 chain stitches, 1 single crochet, 3 chain stitches and 1 half double crochet) |
|

| |
 | 2. Crochet test
Before starting any crochet, it is advisable to work a 10-boxes * 10-boxes mesh test. Measure the height and width of this stitch test and compare it with the crochet pattern.
In this way, differences that can always arise can be balanced out, depending on your crochet style or what kind of material was used.
(Crochet tightly or loosely, fine or coarser yarn, small or larger crochet hooks always determine a crochet result in its size!)
|
|
Example:
A pattern has a declared height of 16 Inches = 61 boxes.
Your mesh test with 10 boxes * 10 boxes results in a height of 2.5 Inch. ---> This results in:
61 boxes (from pattern) * 2.4 Inch = 14.6 Inches; so 1.4 Inch too short!
For this 1.4 Inch, boxes must be added in order to reach the specified height of 16 Inches! ---> 61 boxes actually give you 14.6 Inches;
1 box would be 0.24 Inch (14.6 Inches / 61); 16 Inches / 0.24 = 66.7 boxes
Conclusion: In order to reach a height of 16 Inches, you would have to crochet 67 boxes instead of the given 61 boxes!

 | 4. Crochet start / Stitch pickup |
|
Every crochet is started in the first row with chain stitches. The number of chain stitches is calculated as follows:

2. 1 box * 4 chain stitches = 4 chain stitches
Result: sum of 1. + 2. (3 of them are chain stitches for the next row). |
