A lot of people who start out crocheting forget that stitch at the end and they don’t realise until they’re so far in. I started out making bags and pockets for things like my knitting needles and ipads and stuff because the stitches are easier to count and I could practice patterns and stuff. Fuck counting stitches.
Some people start with granny squares and sew them up into a blanket.
The point is and I’m gonna be harsh here, if you’re dropping stitches on a blanket then you’re probably not ready for a blanket.
I’ve done granny squares but really didn’t want to stitch everything together at the end.
I didn’t forget the stitch at the end, and didn’t drop a stitch.
I’m doing the lemon peel stitch and it turns out while listening to an audiobook I did two DC in a row, which made me finish on a SC when not meant to. I’ve sorted that out now and trying to get the hang of everything again/pay more attention.
But yeah I am definitely still very green with crochet. It’s taking me a minute to get my confidence.

I don’t like sewing pieces together either that’s why I crab stitch them together instead.
Also I found my tension kind of sucked so they were slightly inconsistent sizes… figured I’d do a continuous stitch to try and work on the rhythm
That’s why you start making small stuff first so you can practice tension.
Thankfully it’s just a really small pet blanket. It’s still going to be a test of patience and may or may not get finished
