Problem with baby bootie pattern

[muffie2847]

I'm attempting to make baby bootie for young mother's. This is suppose to be an easy pattern but I'm having issues. What does (Rep last row for 6G ins when slight stretched. DO NOT fasten off.) mean?

Is the G a typo? If yes, then it means to keep making rows until it's measures 6 inches when stretched.

 

Do not fasten off means don't cut it. You'll use it later.

It is a Bernat pattern and I double checked and it doesn't seem to be a typo...but I thought the same thing. Keep going until it measures 6 inches. Thanks for your help. I will give it a try and see how it works.

edited because I think I found the pattern, is it 'Bernat Handicrafter cotton baby crochet bibs and booties'?  That pattern has that instruction, but it also says "6G inches (16 cm) etc. 16 cm is about 6.25 inches.

 

I've noticed sometimes patterns seem to have used OCR software to get them from 1 format to another, and sometimes the character recognition is a little off, like it will read a 6 as an 8 or a b for example.  Maybe it read 1/4 as a G somehow.

Thanks Granny Square for your insight. I'm going to play around with this and see if it makes a difference. I even sent a message to Bernat, since it is their pattern, to see if they could help. I'm waiting patiently for a reply.

Sorry I wasn't able to comment earlier on this post and is probably all figured out by now.

 

The BERNAT HANDICRAFTER COTTON BABY CROCHET BIBS AND BOOTIES (2007) pattern was possibly the first pattern offered and the Everyday Set (2009) is the revised pattern of the same, except 2 ch's longer. It states in Rnd 2; 6¼ ins [16 cm].

Ah, good catch - my googling must have found an older version (was a pdf file).

That's the exact pattern I'm working on. It's very confusing to someone without a lot of experience. I can use all the help I can get.

It can be daunting sometimes trying to figure things out on something new. Don't give up though. We have some of the loveliest and most helpful people in the crochet world right here on Crochetville. I know they've guided me through some puzzling times in figuring steps- stitches and patterns in crochet. You all know who you are!

Thank you all for the moral support...I'm sure I will be asking a lot of questions for future projects.
