Too many abbreviations!

[Newbie1]

Hi, so I'm new to crochet. I was given an amigurumi kit for christmas which I have been working on. It was going ok until I came across a new abbreviation and I'm not sure what to do.

Pattern written in UK terms 

I've started with a magic ring and increased until I have 24 stitches.

The next round Instructions are:

(2dc.inc) 3times. 1dc. 6htr. 1dc. (inc. 2dc) 2times. inc         (30st)

I'm stuck on the 6htr part - any videos I can find are for flat pieces so I just cant visualise it in the round. 

Any help appreciated

The stitch is made exactly the same whether it be worked in the round or flat.  Focus on working it into the stitch of the previous row or round just one at a time.

^what she said,  any stitch can be worked either in the round, or flat. When a pattern just says "x number of whatever stitch", it means 1 stitch into each of the following stitches ahead of you, until you have make x of them.  If it wanted you to do place them differently, it would spell out where to put them.

inc=increase, unless defined otherwise means 2 stitches into 1 stitch.

To translate your instruction in case there is any question, here's your original and below is expressing it without any abbreviations or shorthand:

 "(2dc.inc) 3times. 1dc. 6htr. 1dc. (inc. 2dc) 2times. inc (30st)"

1 dc into each of the next 2 sts, 2dc in the following dc

1 dc into each of the next 2 sts, 2dc in the following dc

1 dc into each of the next 2 sts, 2dc in the following dc

1 dc in the next stitch

1 htr into each of the next 6 stitches

1 dc in the next stitch

2 dc into the next stitch, 1 dc into each of the next 2 stitches, 2 dc into the next stitch, 1 dc into each of the next 2 stitches, 

2 dc in the next stitch

(30 st)  -- NOTE, this does not mean to do make 30 more stitches, it is a sanity-check sum of the stitches you should have made in that row or round.
