  2. Hello I'm kind of a beginner crocheter but this seems pretty simple...I have a question though, in the second row I think or the 3rd where you are crocheting in the front and then the back loop of the sc, you have in your directions to do it 9 times is that correct or should it be 19 times?

  4. Thank you so much for this pattern. I bought a new set of pots and pans and they all have metal handles. I made a few of these and keep them handy.
