crocheting help needed, please?

Sep 23, 2006 1 Replies

I am crocheting a baby sweater, after having not crocheted for abut 20 years. I am currently starting on a yoke to join the body with the arms and the directions say: "join A on starting chain in base of first half shell, work 2 sc in half shell, 1sc in base of next sc [3sc in base of next shell, 1 sc in next sc]. "



I got the yarn joined, do they mean 2 SC in each dc of the half shell? then the 3sc in base of next shell, what does that mean - won't it make a ridge? The picture is not a close up and I can't find anyting in my books or on the web that explains the procedure. The book I am using is a Columbia-Minerva daffy down dilly pattern number 778-3 from many years ago and if anyone can help me out here with a clear explanation, I would be thrilled!

Hi Terri, welcome to the group!

I would think that it would be best to space out the sc as evenly as possible. At the start of the row, put 2sc in the half shell, then I would put one sc in each side of each shell and one in the middle, not forgetting the sc in the sc. This gives 4sc for each pattern repeat.
