Help!!!

Hello, I'm new to crochet and I'm having a problem with a pattern. Hope some one can help. I'm trying a pattern for a unicorn cushion. It's simple enough but, from row 3 I'm a bit confused. What does *2dc, dc1 mean? Row 4 is * 2dc, dc2 and so on through the rows.

She's having you increase. *2dc, dc1  = put 2 dc into a stitch, then one dc in next stitch. Repeat around. This is the unicorn kawaii(sp)?

Hello and welcome!

I agree with Alostlady2.  I found several unicorn pillow patterns, and most started in the middle, and made a circle. 

The recipe for a circle for SC is usually: start with 6 sc, and add 6 more  sc each round.  To do this, in the second round you make 2 sc into 1 stitch, 1 into the next, repeat.  Round 3 would be 2 sc into 1 stitch, 1 into each of the next 2 stitches repeat. Round 4 would be 2 sc into 1 stitch, 1 into each of the next 3 stitches repeat.  See the pattern developing?  One more 'plain' stitches added between increases, each round.

I actually made this Unicorn Kawaii Cuddler. The instructions are written differently. It is a horse shaped head with ear and horn. You crochet two and then place them together, crochet around, then stuff.

The ones I saw described as cushions, and in SC were along the lines of this one (not free).  The only similar free one that I saw was in DC.  But, I imagine a horse-head shape might also start with a circle. many animal toys do.
