It can be a little tricky to know what crocheted rows look like. This video explains how to count the stitches of the Yarn Advent-ure Blanket squares.
The image below shows a full Yarn Advent-ure Blanket square with the rows marked, and may help with seeing the difference between the double crochet (single crochet) stitches and the chain spaces. Download and/or print the image here. Helpful hint: double crochet (single crochet) stitches have 2 vertical lines.
