Rectangle Turns into a Trapezoid

Hello,
I’m trying to crochet a rectangle, but by now it has turned into a trapezoid. I counted every row to make sure the number of stitches was correct, and at the end I made one turning chain each time, which I did not crochet into in the new row. Where is my mistake?

Hi Jana, welcome to our forum.
I suspect that at the beginning of each row, you didn’t insert the hook into the first stitch, but always into the second one. That’s what causes it to turn into a trapezoid.
Here’s a picture—maybe it’ll help you. You make the turning chain and then insert the hook right at the front into the first stitch.

Here’s another picture.
Here, the first stitch is crocheted.

Thank you very much for your answer. But I think I’m doing that, otherwise it wouldn’t have matched the number of stitches I started with. Right?
Could it also have something to do with my “little pattern”? I insert the hook into the stitches differently on one row than on the return row so that the little braid shows.

I always insert the hook a little deeper into the last stitch of the row than into the rest of the stitches.
That way, the rectangle won’t turn into a trapezoid.

So now I’ve
- inserted the hook as usual
- into the front loop
- into the back loop
- as a front post stitch

Hmm... Okay, then I’ll have to start over from the beginning and see if I’m really working into the first stitch. Thanks for your advice.
