Need help with a pattern for a flower

[ddolenz]

Hi all

I am new to this forum.  I am a US expat living on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, so the terms are different than the US.  I am getting use to it but this has me stumped.

I am trying to make a simple flower.  A Meconopsis.

The 2nd round say:     (4ch, 2-st dtr cluster in next dc,4ch,1dc In next dc)

2-st?  That is the part I don’t get.  

Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Crochetville! 

There's two sets of crochet terms, UK and US. Your pattern is UK. Here's a link with the main differences...

A UK dtr is the same as a US tr. "2-stitch dtr cluster" means to do 2 tr stitches in the same stitch. 

In the chart, 2-st dtr cluster is represented by 2 long lines with double slashes. When a pattern's language is confusing, it's good to have a chart. Here's a link for chart reading...

By the way, it's against forum rules to post pictures of patterns due to copyright violations.

Thank you so much for your help.  

Sorry about posting the pattern, it is totally understandable.
