Thanks all! I was talking about when you make your own graph patterns, so you have to figure out that foundation row. Crochetnmore has this calculation:
# of sqs in chart x 3 + 3 = If you are beginning the grid with a block # of sqs in chart x 3 + 5 = If you are beginning the grid with a space.
But I have also seen this one:
Sqs x 3 minus 1 block plus 8 chains
And this one:
Sqs x 3 plus 1
Maybe I should stick with patterns
