Pattern understanding

[Shirley930]

Hello, I am crocheting a cape called “The Snow Charming cape. I am not a newbie at crocheting and usually don’t have a problem with a pattern. I am having difficulty understanding how parts are written.

Row 3: Ch 2  dc in first stitch,[2 dc in next stitch, bpdc in next st] 11 times, 2 dc in next stitch, dc in last stitch; turn (37 st)

This is actually how it is written. My problem is how to interpret the last part of the instructions. What do you do between  the two dc in same stitch and the last dc? There are always stitches in between. 

I appreciate any suggestions.

Sincerely 
Shirley McLain

Did you catch that the [2dc in next stitch, bpdc in next stitch] is repeated 11 times.  That should get you to the next to the last stitch where  "2dc in next stitch" would go followed by dc in last stitch and you should have 37 stitches in that row.

Thank you for the help. I will work on this.
