I have crocheted the first rows of my crochet pattern. The measured height is greater than intended. Why?
With some crochet patterns, the second row consists entirely of filled boxes / half double crochets. Tip: the chain stitches (crochet test / stitch cast on) should be crocheted very tightly in these crochet patterns.
 
In my crochet pattern, the second row consistently consists of [filled boxes / grids) = half double crochets, followed by unfilled boxes / grids. The filled (boxes / grids = half double crochets) look wavy. Why?
Tip: The chain stitches (crochet start / stitch pickup) from this correspondingly pattern should be crocheted very tightly.
 
Why has my curtain got bigger as specified on the homepage?
This can have various causes: - the crochet was too loose; - it was crocheted too tight; - the thread used was too coarse; - the thread was too fine; - the crochet hook was too big; - the crochet hook was too small; Conclusion: At the beginning of each work, a mesh test measuring 10 boxes * 10 boxes (minimum!) should be made. So you can change your material if necessary or choose another smaller crochet pattern.
