yarn needle
scissors
Abbreviations Used:
Rnd(s) --- round(s)
ch --- chain
sc --- single crochet
st/sts --- stitch/stitches

--- Be sure to move the stitch marker up as you complete each round.

I don't think the stitch count is correct -- but I could be doing something wrong. In round 4, if you do 2sc/1sc you don't get 24 stitches, you end up with 27 instead.
ReplyDeleteI got the same thing
DeleteI got the same thing
DeleteYou’re correct. Round 4 should read 2sc in 1st st then 1 sc in next 2st
Deleteround 4 is suppose to be 2sc together, 1sc in next 2
