Need help with a pattern

[Astytchintym]

Hello, I'm so glad I found this forum😊 been stuck with a pattern for sometime. Can anyone pls help me decipher this - 

Row 1: Sc in 4^th ch from hook, *sk 2 ch, Sh in next ch, sk 2 ch, (sc, ch 3, sc) in next ch; rep from * to last 6 ch, sk 2 ch, Sh in next ch, sk 2 ch, (sc, ch 1, hdc) in last ch, turn.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in hdc, *(sc, ch 3, sc) in ch-2 sp, Sh in ch-3 sp; rep from * to last ch-2 sp, (sc, ch 3, sc) in ch-2 sp, 3 dc in third ch of beg ch, turn.

 

I am not able to understand the '2dc in hdc' part in Row 2. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

You did (or should have done) a hdc in the last chain of row 1.

Thats the hdc to put the 2 dc in. 

Hope it helps.

Hi Flia

Thankyou!

Yes I did the hdc in the last chain of Row 1. But I am not sure where to do the 2dc? In the space created by the last hdc and the sc before that or in one of the stitches/loops of the hdc.

The 2 dc would be made into the top 2 loops of your hdc otherwise the pattern would have said to make them in the space between the hdc and sc, front loop only (fpl) or back loop only (blo).
