I am crocheting a snuggle bunny and the two instructions:
#5. -9. Sc one round (24)
#18. -21. Sc one round. (12)
I do not understand the -9 & -21 in the pattern.
That means to do that same stitch for rows 5 thru 9 and the other is the same stitch for rows 18 thru 21.
I have already done a single crochet across the row and now they what me to do this on the next row, ch1 turn.
I have a Magic circle with 18 sts. The next instruction says: " * 2dc, 2dc in next st; repeat from * to end (24 sts)". I am a beginner and don't understand how to do the above and end up with 24 sts.
What does it mean to: sl st into first spc. Make beg. bobble, etc. I know it reads slip stitch into first (???). etc. How is this done? It is a child's purse, rated easy and I am a new crocheter.
Thank you for your help.
What does it mean when a crochet pattern has -10 (sc) (30)rd?
I am crocheting a Christmas elf hat, the instruction read Rd 6: Ch2, 1 hdc in the same space as ch2, (hdc in next 5 stitches, 2 hdc in next st) x3 hdc in last stitch =24
Continue in same pattern increasing the number of HDC by 3 in each successive row thru row 11 ending with 39 stitches. My question is the increase, is it an increase stitch, or just adding 3 extra stitches in the row?
Thank you for your help.
I am crocheting an infant's Christmas elf hat and the instructions read:
Rd 2: Ch2 1 hdc. in same space as ch2.
(hdc. on next stitch, 2 hdc. in next st) x3, hdc in last stitch = 12
What does x3 after the parentheses mean?
The instructions read: ch 19sc second st sc next 17 then it has (18sts) ch 1 turn sc in front loop next 17sts (18sts) ch 1 turn sc next 4 sts miss next 13 then it has (5 sts) ch 1 turn Dec 1sc in next 2 Drs (4sts). What does this mean? I am confused.
The parentheses are for different sizes. The first row you chain 19 stitches. Then you a single crochet in the second chain. You skip the first chain. Sc in every stitch. Thereafter. Thats the first row. Chain 1 and turn your work around. You single crochet in the front loop of every stitch in that row. Chain 1 and turn the work around again.
I am a bit confused as to the last part. You need to decrease 1 stitch. I am not sure what a drs abbreviation is. Maybe someone can help on the last part.
The second part means you are going to decrease (DEC) one stitch by skipping one, and continuing on. Then it's 4 stitches and miss "skip" 13 and do 4 on the end. This might be for a floral pattern with such a long skip. That 4 then 13 then 4 gives you that 18 you began with.
I have found a pattern for a crocheted Timon, it was in Spanish. When I translated it the abbreviations did not translate. I have found most of them by Googling. However, there is an instruction that I have never seen before. Can you tell me what this means?
Row 6 to 11. Weave the (30sc).
Thank you for your time.
What is the meaning of the Spanish crochet abbreviation "pd" and "cd"?
examples:
Vuelta 5: (1pd, 3pb)x7
Vuelta 6: (4pb, 1cd)x5
This is what my instructions say: ch 3 *skip next dc. Dcfp around post of next dc, then dcfp around post of skipped dc- Cr dcfp made. 1 dc in sp between last dc and the next dc (inc made). I understand everything up to 1 dc in sp between. 
Thank you.
My pattern says "work for 0 (1-0-1) round". I've made 20 of these hats and ignored that line. Now I'm super curious. What does that mean?
What does it mean when a crochet pattern round ends with "mark decreases"?
How do you do a Cr Dcfp? I know what Dcfp means, but what does Cr mean?
The pattern says at the end of the row, join with slip stitch RST. What does RST mean?
What does the crochet term "ss" mean? I have a pattern I am working on and the ss term is used with no explanation. My pattern did not provide a guide. It has something to do with the popcorn stitch, but that is all I know.
