    Chain multiples of 6+1. I don’t understand what this means. Can someone help me please. I’d love to do this afghan.

    Thanks so much.

      Hi Cheri!

      You will chain in multiples of 6 until you have the length that you want, then add one to the end.

      Does that help?

  2. Trudi Merryman says:

    Hope this is the right pace. If I want to have a chain that is 30 stitches then I would add one to that for 31?. Right so far?
    Then is this the place where the “one for the base chain” goes? Making it a total of 32 chains?

    Thanks
