Can someone explain these crochet instructions in plain english?
I guess you can say a beginner in crocheting with patterns. I have made three blankets but simply using a single crochet stitch throughout. I now want to try a pattern (it is a #411 Bernat Softee Baby Double Diamond Crochet Blanket if anyone is curious–says it’s for beginners) and am totally lost with the instructions given (I know what the abbreviations mean, I guess I just haven’t learned how to read them). Can someone interpret this set of instructions for me in the hopes that I will better be able to read the rest of my pattern?
It is a motif…. 1st rnd: Ch3 (counts as dc). [3 dc. (Ch2. 4 dc) 3 times] in ring. Ch 2. Join with sl st to top of ch 3.
I appreciate all your help!
The ch 3 is supposedly a dc so do 3 dc and a ch 2, 4 dc ch 2 In other words you will have a total of 4 dc and a 2 ch between them This is what it will lok like with The “|” as a dc and the “-” as the chain but will be in a circle
