Repeat from *
In crochet, “repeat from ” tells you to go back to the asterisk symbol and work the same set of stitches again until the pattern says to stop. It’s a shorthand used to avoid rewriting identical instructions.
Step-by-step:
1. Find the first asterisk () in the pattern.
2. Work the stitches or actions that follow it.
3. When you reach the phrase “repeat from ,” go back to that symbol.
4. Continue repeating the section until told to stop (e.g., “repeat from to end” or “repeat from 5 times”).
5. Count your repeats carefully — they control the width or design of your row.
