Silly question, but to start these, is row one the slip stitch and also a row of single crochet?
ReplyDeleteThe first row is a row of fsc sts (foundation single crochet stitches). I've updated the pattern with w tutorial link for the fsc.
Deletehello; the FSC abbreviation implies you have a tutorial.. but there are no words after that ...?
ReplyDeleteI got the tutorial link corrected/added :) Thanks for your patience!
