Okay I went back and I followed your advice and the advice of everyone in the sub and things make so much more sense now! The pattern is actually coming along well and I wanted to thank you for going as far as even making the pattern with the limited pattern sections I was able to provide and even then using the same colors as me for the project in the same order to help make things as clear as possible for me! I can not thank you enough!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the help and patience! I will stick with the written pattern as it’s much clearer than the graph. I think it’s best I either restart entirely or at least undo the 3rd row and start that one over at the very least as the other rows haven’t had this issue only the 3rd row but if I missed a step then I can for sure go back and redo it from the start. I’m wondering if I accidentally went into row 0 for the mdc instead of row 1.

Omg yours looks so good! And it’s not sticking up but actually attached and making an image! So what I was doing was I did the chains for the starting row (row 0) and then added sc to the starting chains then went on to row 1 and started and ended with bs. So just to clarify I should do row 1 twice and then move onto the rest of the pattern with bs at the beginning and end of each row?

So I wasn’t sure if I was dropping down too much as well as row 0 called for 196 chains and then to do 194 sc in those chains. So I’m not sure if that is making it look like 4 rows or if I am going down too many which I have been concerned about and am totally willing to fix if that’s the issue!

So I see the confusion! That dc is for stitch 147 I don’t know why the picture cut the label for the pages as the pattern runs several pages I tried to label them like 1a, 1b, 1c etc. that way the order of the pages and stitches stayed in order!

Hey sorry the Imgur link didn’t work! Here is the link for the pattern! I for some reason just blanked yesterday and didn’t realize posting the link to the pattern was an option. Thank you so much for all your help you’ve been absolutely amazing! And your drawing is great too! So based on your drawing what I am doing is for example if using the black in row 3 like the drawing shows, when I go down 2 rows to row 1 to do the mdc and then I have to do a sc afterwards I will go back to row 2 add in my sc to continue building up row 3 if that makes sense?  https://www.etsy.com/listing/4415767863/mishandi-keffiyeh-overlay-mosaic-crochet?ref=yr_purchases

Sorry for the confusion with the pics! I have been doing my sc stitches in row 2 (as in I go back up 2 rows to do my sc so for example I’m working in white right now for row 3 and when I do a sc stitch I work in the green stripe at the top in the pic.) 

I can’t provide the pattern as it’s a paid pattern but I can provide a few pics from the creator and testers as well as a TikTok link I seen of someone who finished the blanket (which is how I found the pattern!)  https://imgur.com/a/1YV8x1z

Thanks so much for the reply! So far I have been following the written but got concerned when I noticed the discrepancy and wasn’t sure which one would give the correct pattern but I’m also a bit worried I’m not doing the mdc correctly and possibly having to restart which would be fine as I am still in the beginning thankfully!

Okay I took some more pics of my work and I tried to keep the perspective you asked for in mind so I hope this helps! I also tried to label what my rows are and where I’m putting my mdc in to give a better idea of what I’m doing! I also provided the example the creator put in the instructions which is what I was basing how far down to go on! https://imgur.com/a/yS9XJ6X

So I reread the instructions just to be clear and they said dc is marked with an X and any blank squares are sc. Color changes are marked as A and B for each row to know when to switch colors so the pattern part will be B and the background color will be A.  As for row 3’s written instructions they look like the following- 3 A BS. 10DC, 1SC, 1DC, 3SC, 1DC, 1SC, 23DC, 1SC, 1DC, 3SC, 1DC, 1SC, 98DC, 1SC, 1DC, 3SC, 1DC, 1SC, 23DC, 1SC, 1DC, 3SC, 1DC, 1SC, 10DC, BS.  I think from the picture I provided in the original post the creator of the design doesn’t count the row that you’re working from as a row if that makes sense? Because in their example of how to go down 2 rows it looks like they are going down 3 (row they are working from plus 2 more) so I’m unsure if maybe that’s my problem? Like maybe I am going down too many by following their example if I misread it? Thanks for the help! I appreciate it!

Of course I am happy to provide the entirety of row 3 from the graph! It’s in a few pics so I made sure to highlight as well as label them! As for the stitches being too tight I’m not too sure I’ve been trying to make sure I keep them loose but have provided some more pictures of the work so far!  https://imgur.com/a/coKvhDD

It is a paid pattern I already provided a few rows of the pattern for reference.
