Did you allow enough chain stitches to allow for them being used as the first stitches in your return row?
I swear by YouTube when I trying to learn something new.
It has been my constant companion since starting DD's waistcoat.
I have to admit I never make a swatch to check my tension/size, I know I crochet tight so I always use a hook one size bigger than recommended.
Also I usually make scarves and blankets so they tend to end up whatever size they end up.

This weeks veg box.
Another nice selection of fruit and veg for this week, I'll share it with Betty again.

I cast on 31 stitches as advised, with a No.4 hook, then the next row was double crochets into every stitch except the first, so I should have had 30 stitches left. But I only had 27 or 28!!!
I need to get the tension right and the hook size or I shall run out of wool before I finish the blanket (it's a wool pack specifically for that blanket.)
Keep practising, you will get there.
