How to turn in work?

[Diana-18]

I’m a semi-beginner, but I’ve understood how to do turns in crochet when starting new rows and the chain, etc. However I’m having difficulty understanding how to read the part of this pattern when it says “turn work, 5 sc” in row 1? How do you do more single crochets in the same row after you turn the work?

here is the pattern:

start with ch 7, you will crochet around the chain, start in the 2nd ch from crochet hook

R1: Inc.: 2 sc in the first stitch, 4 sc, 3 sc in last ch, turn work, 5 sc (=14)

R2: Inc: 1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch...

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

You are crocheting an oval shape and are working on both sides of your starting chain.

I beginning to think there needs to be some kind of clear crochet language for working in the round as a circle and working around the back back for an oval.

You're  right--we get so many oval questions here!  At least this pattern gave a heads up by saying 'you will crochet around the chain'.

But if one had never made an oval before that might have been overlooked or misunderstood--as in, a pattern worked center out would say something like 'chain 6, join, chain 1, make 12 sc around the chain', which is an entirely different meaning for 'around the chain'.

Thank you all!! Never encountered the oval pattern before, but makes sense now and managed to complete the section for this pattern. Thanks for your help!
