Great tutorial. Thank you so much. Quick question. If using this method in your starting chain, and your starting/turning chain is 3 (as in your example) and you did your first stack in the 2nd chain (instead of 3rd), does that mean you would reduce your pattern by one? I’m still new and learning. Thanks in advance 😁

Karen - so glad you found it helpful! It does depend on whether you are going to count those skipped chains as a stitch or not. For example, you have a foundation chain of 10. If you worked this method you would end up with a total of 9 stitches. If you skipped the first 2 chains and work a dc in each ch you would have a total of 8 stitches if you don't count the skipped chains as a stitch but 9 if you do. I hope that helps!

@@juliew6137 My favorite way of working half double crochet turning chains is a chain 1 then working a hdc into the same stitch at the base of the chain 1. However, if you wanted to try the stacked sc I would recommend trying a small swatch with half double crochet stitches using the stacked sc in place of the ch 2 turning chain. See if ends being taller than the hdc rows you are working. You could working those sc stitches more tightly to get a more compact/shorter stitch. I hope that helps!

So glad you found the tutorial helpful! I am happy to help. It would depend on if the pattern calls working into the 3rd or 4th ch from the hook for the first dc and if they are counting the skipped chs as the first stitch of the row. If you are using the stacked sc stitch for your first dc of the first row you work it into the 2nd ch from the hook. If you are designing a pattern and want an even number of stitches at the end of row 1 you would add +1 to an even number of foundation chains. For beginners I typically recommend working the first row of the pattern as written and then for all subsequent rows use the stacked sc method for the remainder of the project. I hope that helps! 💕🌸

Tonya, If you were to remake all the Rhapsody Blankets again or any blanket- which technique do you feel is the best to use for reducing gaps? I am thinking I may use this one from now on because of the way it helps with straightening and even ease for borders. My only problem is the count- I have such a hard time with stitch count anyway so I think I need to brush up on that and it makes it all the harder when I use different techniques than the designer I am not sure if I need to even follow the designers count anymore or my own then- ugh I probably make no sense. Thank you for all you do as I love the way you seek to find what works best and share with us always. You are genuine

If I were to remake all of my Rhapsody Blankets again I would definitely choose this technique the Stacked SC. Such an easy technique with nice straight edges. One thing you could do if you find it hard to adjust the starting row of a pattern is to work the foundation row the same as the designer's pattern - dc in 4th ch from hook, etc. Then for all remaining rows you could start using the stacked sc. This eliminates the need to adjust that first row! I hope that helps. 💕 Tonya
