Hello, I am a bit new to crochet, and a first time poster. I am reading a pattern from a book called "Woodland Crochet", and the instructions for the shell do not seem to match up with the amount of stitches I think they should produce.
I haven't made it past Rnd 1 for the shell, but I made the head and legs of the tortoise without any trouble: "
ch 6, start in 2nd ch from hook
Rnd 1: sc, 3sc, 3sc in next ch, 3sc, 2sc in next ch"
Already, I end up running out of chains to work in; I single crochet 4, then increase by 3 in the 5th chain, and I have no room to increase by 2. I have assumed that sc and 3sc are both normal single crochets since the pattern describes 3sc in the next ch in the same rnd.
Sorry if this question is a bit long but I've had no luck trying to figure out this pattern. Thank you!
