Question
lilkimxo
Very very new (again..lol) to crocheting, and though I have googled what an astric means in a pattern I'm confused still. Things were moving along fine then came *(dc2tog) 6 times. sigh. So this is the Harvest Ripple Afghan from the book called Vanna's Lifestyle. I've read where some reccomend writting out the directions so it makes sense to them, but I so want to be sure I am correct in my understanding. So if someone wouldnt mind taking a looksie here. thank you
Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook (beginning ch counts as dc), (dc2tog) 3 times, 2 dc in next 6ch, *(dc2tog) 6 times,....
(dc2tog) 3 times = does this mean I am going to dc 2 together into the same chain 3 times?
2 dc in next 6ch = does this mean I am going to do two dc's into each of the next 6 chains?
*(dc2tog) 6 times = hum are they just using an astric instead of a number 2 like earlier, in that I will do the previous step yet again?
