I'm transitioning from beginner to low intermediate, and have this question: I'm using a crochet garden pattern, Honeybear haven Cardigan version 6 that I purchased from Crochet Garden. It calls for a chain at the end of rows, rather than what I'm used to, at the beginning of the next row. Does it make a difference?
I've searched the crochet garden and can't find the pattern listed as one that people have posted on.

This won't make a difference in your finished object. You will find in crochet that some patterns will chain at the end of a row or at the beginning. If you are comfortable with one way then continue on doing it that way as it won't change the end result as long as you get those chains in there.
Some crochet paterns you will actually work a st into this turning chain but I don't think that is the case in this particular pattern. Personally I prefer to make my chains after turning because for me it is easier to work into that last st if I do it this way.
HTH. Congrats on trying new things in crochet and hope you continue to enjoy and grow in the craft. If you have anymore questions or concerns please feel free to ask away.
