Help With Crochet Instructions

Rows 2-8 of the pattern reads chain 1, stitch increase evenly 6 times around (48 st). Can you tell me exactly how this is done? Thanks.

If you haven't figured this out yet, try this. I'll assume you're doing SC but if not, change to DC.

Ch1
Make 2 SC in first SC of previous row.
SC in next 6
Make 2 SC in next
SC in next 6
(Continue until you've done 2 SC in 6 stitches in that row)
Now, you've increased six stitches over your original 42 stitches and you're ending with 48.
In your next row, row 3, you'll have to increase another 6 stitches spreading them out over the 48 stitches. You'll end with 54 stitches this time.
Do increase rows for a total of 7 rows. You will have 84 stitches (if my math is correct) when you're finished with rows 2-8.
I hope this helps.

Chain 1, then increase by working 2 single crochets in the one stitch evenly around the row. Work so many sc (single crochets), then work 2 sc in another stitch to increase.

The pattern reads "work shell of 1dc, ch1, 1dc" in next stitch. I am confused as to into what stitch I am crocheting the last dc.

Absolutely right. In the next stitch work 1 dc ch 1 1 dc. These three steps are what is going to create your shell look, that's why they must be in the same stitch.

I have just learned to crochet and I came across in my pattern directions, "2dc closed together on next two dc".


I need some crocheting help. I am teaching myself to crochet, and I'm having trouble deciphering this part of a pattern: "*dcfp in next 2 stitches, dcfp in next 2 stitches, repeat until end of row".
