Stitch help

[hoosiernative]

Does anyone know what this means? My pattern says slip st in the center (through the fabric) of each hdc around. I've been crocheting for 20 years and I can't figure out what this means. It makes it sound like a front post or back post sl st. It's for a newsboy hat. It's the round before the brim. Any insight would be wonderful. Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is that the pattern is poorly worded, and it simply means "in each dc around"??!!

What is the pattern? Can you give us a pattern link?

That's really weird. Wonder why they said it like that, that's how you sl st, why make it confusing!

I think you sl st into the middle of each stitch of the previous row to make a fold .

What do you consider the middle?

Well!  That IS weird!!  I'm afraid I'm no help on that one!

Well it says the center of the stitch, into the fabric, so i take it to mean into the post of the stitch....a post st would be around the post but this is into the post. I think ;-)

Ok that helps thanks. Hard with no pictures. I'll try and see what I get.

I made that hat a couple of years ago...I just took a look, it appears I just treated it like a surface slip stitch, so sort of like a post stitch (around the stitch, inserting the hook in the gaps between stitches, so into the fabric, but not into the stitch itself).  I'm not sure that was right, but this is what it looks like...

It worked out. Thanks again.
