Maybe I should take up another hobby

I am trying to make a stuffed duck:ducky ... Things are still in the planning stage thus far. As I was reading over the pattern I noticed that it says "Round 15: Sc, work every 6th and 7th sc together." The duck is made in rounds that are not joined. Round 14 was made with 37 sc and round 17 has 37 sc. So what exactly does round 15 want me to do? The pattern is from the book Crocheted Gifts in a Weekend.

Thanks for any help.

I think it wants you to do a decrease in every 6th and 7th stitch. So you'll insert your hook in the 6th stitch, pull up a loop, insert your hook into the 7th stitch, pull up a loop, yo and pull through all 3 loops on hook.

Hi Elizabeth,

 

I have that book, and I'm looking over the pattern on page 137.

 

On round 14, you have 42 sc. For round 15, they want you to decrease 6 stiches to 36 stitches, so sc 2 together every sixth stitch.

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the replies. Vera I am trying to work the duck pincushion on page 127 ( sorry I forgot there were several ducks in the book). I am excited to try a pattern from the book, I picked it up in very new condition for 2$ at the local Goodwill . I think I understand what to do. Once I get to that point if need be I will be back with more questions...

Thanks again

I see the duck on pg 127--really cute, and the same princple applies. At the end ot rnd 14, you have 37 sc. Rnd 15 is a decrease round in which you will decrease by 5 sc to 32 by crocheting each 6th and 7th sc together as Sarah as explained.

 

I have owned this book for years, and never made anything out of it:blush , but I really should.

So happy
