Hi AmieJ, No 🙂 You don’t need to chain at the beginning of the rounds – unless of course the pattern indicates to do so. I don’t normally have additional chains at the beginning of the round unless the stitch is taller than a half double crochet stitch. Hope this helps! Rhondda
Hi! I was wondering if you are supposed to chain at all at the beginning of each round?
Thank you!
Hi April, Magic Ring. MR is Magic Ring. I apologize for leaving this out of the abbreviations!! All the best, Rhondda
What does MR mean?
I think this kind of hat are always welcome in a family.
Thank you for share.
