I'm new to crochet but have made a few blanketsBut I'm having trouble-my yarn keeps twisting as I try to do a simple double stitch, so that it almost looks like I stitch the top, then the bottom rather than a straight row.Am I missing something or could it be the cheap yarn I'm using?
try cardboard cut in strips about a inch wide fasten with scotch or duct tape
