This means that, even if you were not pregnant, the navel piercing would take a long time to heal. The navel is the longest piercing region to heal, at around nine to twelve months on average.

Q: Crochet charts are not ideal for first time crocheters. Charts are usually included with complex crochet patterns as a way to clarify the design.

In other words, you will be working from the bottom to the top of the chart in a zigzag fashion. The only exception to this rule is patterns that need to be worked in the round. For a pattern that is worked in the round, start at the center of the chart and work around in a counterclockwise fashion or as indicated by the chart. Some charts also include numbers and arrows to help you know where to begin crocheting and how to progress. You may see these numbers and/or arrows on the ends of the chart or within the spirals for a pattern that you work in the round.
A:
Develop your crocheting skills before using crochet charts. Refer to written instructions in conjunction with a chart. Read the chart starting from the bottom.
