Subtract the desired width from the desired length in inches. Multiply the result by the diameter of "one" starting motif. This will give you the number of starting motifs.

Would love to know if you did and if not what suggestions you might have to finishing out this pattern and size. I'm looking to make an afghan but do not want it to end up square like Theresa's.<br /><br />Any input or advice would be much appreciated! Thanks, Brady.<br /><br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/crochetdad/3866104114/in/set-72157600811138941Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817829410291656471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194165159938424846.post-36557278711232543892013-03-26T08:28:24.196-07:002013-03-26T08:28:24.196-07:00I'm glad you could adapt this technique to you...I'm glad you could adapt this technique to your own needs.

I made the square pattern by Teresa into a pillow and was so happy to find your Rectangular version so I can make an afghan. I did notice a typo in your pattern though. Where you state:<br />"Now do a ch 3, CornerCluster, ch 3, sl st as before under the loops of the current and next st, ch 3, another SideCluster, ch 3, sl st as before, ch 3, CornerCluster, ch 3, join with a sl st to those two loops as before"<br /><br />That should actually be two corner clusters in a row then a side cluster and then a corner cluster. (you skipped the "Repeat Corner cluster"<br /><br />So it should read:<br /><br />"Now do a *ch 3, CornerCluster, ch 3, sl st as before under the loops of the current and next st, REPEAT FROM * Once, ch 3, another SideCluster, ch 3, sl st as before, ch 3, CornerCluster, ch 3, join with a sl st to those two loops as before"<br /><br />cheers :)<br />CorinneCanCraft.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303046632580795530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194165159938424846.post-33213142357992798502009-10-23T17:58:52.572-07:002009-10-23T17:58:52.572-07:00In round 3, the "anchor stitch" referred...In round 3, the "anchor stitch" referred to is the ch 1 space in Rnd 2 after the cluster stitch.<br /><br />Yes, join to the next stitch with a slip stitch before moving on to the next side cluster.

In other words (easier I hope!), if you wanted a 5'x8' rug, you subtract the 5' from 8' which is 3'. You use a 3' length braid as your beginning row and then you continually braid around it until you have reached 5x8. I wonder if this concept would work for your afghan? Say you wanted an afgan that measures 40" x 60"...you would start your first row/round at 20" long. Again, I don't know if this would work but you could try a sample and see if the proportions remained consistent.Kate/Massachusettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542166992446263952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194165159938424846.post-82067100774914306802009-09-19T12:00:28.858-07:002009-09-19T12:00:28.858-07:00I love what you did with this stitch!

I started this stitch because of <a href="http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2009/06/crochet-wheel-stitch-square-catherines.html" rel="nofollow">your blog entry.</a> Thanks so much for the inspiration and the video!<br /><br />I'm going to rethink the foundation, though. I was reminded by another online crocheter that as the afghan progresses, the short dimension will increase at the same rate as the long dimension, ending up nearly square, anyway if it gets much bigger. It started twice as long as wide (2 inches by 4 inches) and now it's approximately 10 inches by 12 inches. When the width reaches 30 inches, the length will only be 32 inches, which is not what I had in mind...<br /><br />I'm going to start it over as a tutorial. <br /><br />You can find me on Facebook as <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CrochetDad" rel="nofollow">CrochetDad</a>.CrochetDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763503268240785889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194165159938424846.post-43875582580921354652009-08-20T13:45:53.176-07:002009-08-20T13:45:53.176-07:00Great idea.
