7 decreases in last chain stich??

[Bellis]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if any of you could give me some advice about a patter that I'm following.

I'm starting a piece and the instructions are:

CH8 -1inc, 4sc, 1hdc, 7dc in last ch.

So, I followed the instructions until 1hdc included (so I have 3rows now) but I have no clue how do I decrease 7stitches in the last chain stitch. I mean, I only have 3 stitches left.

Any ideas?? Maybe I did something wrong...

Thank you all!!

What pattern is it? Sometimes it's easier to figure out the issue if we can see the row before & after the row in question.  That may be 7 double crochet in last stitch.

Hi! 

Thanks for your response. This is an amigurumi pattern. I leave you the link below:

I finished the head and the body, so I started with the first leg. That's when appear those instructions.

I've tried to follow it in the video but it's too fast!

It says 7 dc (double crochet stitches) not decreases, unless you made a typo.  And yes, you can put lots more than 7 stitches into 1.

Ah, you posted the pattern link as I was typing, let me have a look.

Edit, this pattern is rather unconventionally written, a lot of times it  doesn't say what stitch to use (I assume SC).  It looks like you are shaping the legs, with the different height stitches.

This may be easier to understand then:

ch8, 2 sc in 2nd ch from the hook, 4sc, 1hdc, 7dc (double crochet)in last ch.

Wow! You totally right!

I was so fustrated I misread that! 7 double crochet! It's the first time I do an amigurimi shoe. I always start with the magic ring. This new beginning confused me. 

Thank you so much!!
