Hi, welcome to the 'ville!

https://www.anniescatalog.com/detail.html?prod_id=147238&cat_id=414  is this it  on the cover?  I looked at the projects on Ravelry and no one mentioned any pattern errors.

I can't imagine what 'bef' might have supposed to have been,  but it tells you the result - that you are to end up in a certain spot.  I would position myself in a way that goes along with the pattern, to end up in that spot - look at the photo to guide you.  

I looked for errata and didn't find any.  I have to say I cancelled my subscription to Crochet World several ago, (same parent company as Annies Attic), because the errata every month affected a good portion of the patterns and I got tired of winging my way through them.

Thank you Granny Square.   I'm sorry to say I made a typo in my post.  It is "beg" not "bef".  But I'm still stuck.  I appreciate your time and your advice.  I'll keep muddling thru to see if I can figure it out. So frustrated!

Oh duh, that makes more sense ( I was trying to think how 'before' would fit in there, which is the only word that I could think of starting with 'bef' that a pattern might use ).   And 'duh' again, because now I get it.

It is very common for a pattern that has a lot of chain spaces to end a round in the middle of a chain space, but you can't just stop 'in the air'.  Instead, you make x chains, then into the spot the chain space is to end in, make a real stitch--when you pull thru the last loop of the real stitch, you've connected the chain to the top of the real stitch you just made, and your hook has a real stitch (pretending to be chains) on the left side, and real chains on the right.  So in your pattern, the first 3 chains are the same length as the subsequent treble, and your hook is in in the middle of the chain loop.

I saw that flower market bag the first time in Herrschners catalog.  It’s a pretty one. 
If the designer of that pattern is mentioned you could look and see if she has a YouTube help on her patterns or contact Annie’s for assist
