Help With Crochet Instructions

RE: Help With Crochet Instructions Post By mepixie1 (Guest Post) (08/19/2008) This seems to be the beginning of a pattern stitch, such as a popcorn stitch. Your best bet would probably be to look at the beginning of the instructions for a list of 'Special Stitches'. They usually explain what the stitch is and how to achieve it.

I'm of the understanding that your... 2dc closed together on next 2 dc.... is a bizarre form of decrease. Try this: work 1dc, but do not draw yarn thru last 2 loops on hook. Work the next dc until 1 loop remains, yo, and draw thru all 3 loops on hook. One dc decreased. Practice this a couple of times for it to make sense. Hope it helps! Heidi.

Work a dc in the first dc. but leave a loop on your hook. Work the second dc and leave a loop. Then pull yarn through all loops. repeat this in the next dc.

What they are talking about is closing after you do the two double crochets. Also look for your book bonazon. Your local library might have them. What they are are the library and local people drop off books they don't want anymore. You go and buy some. They might also be called book fairs and you can buy a lot and they are cheap and have a great selection.

This would be if you are reducing at that spot.

I've never seen directions like that. dc, of course, is a double-crochet stitch; and 2dc would be two double-crochet stitches. But "closed on"??? Maybe if I could read the rest of the pattern instructions, I might be able to figure it out. But on this alone, it makes no sense to me! Good luck! Report Spam or Abuse
