Question
KJLanding
I am working on a peacock feather design throw. I have been able to do all the feathers, but now when it comes time to start the center of the project which will connect all of the feathers together, I am at a loss.
First line before any of the instructions even start reads: “After every round, cast off and work ends in.”
The parenthesis indicates color of yarn to use, as the pattern uses 8 different colors. Prior to this portion of the instructions, the color changed for each round.
1. (Royal) 12 x sc in magic circle. Pull through and secure. (12)
2. (Royal) 16 x lsc into middle of magic circle (16)
3. (Royal) [sc, ch2, sk1st] x 8 (16)
4. (Royal) [Hdc, 2dc, hdc, in chsp] x 8 (32)
5. (Royal) working in the back of the work [sc between the 2 dcs into the chain of round 3, ch2] x 8 (24)
6. (Royal)( [4dc in chsp, sc in top of shell from round 4] x 8
7. (Royal) Working in the back of the work [sc between middle dcs of round 6 into chain of round 5, ch3] x 8
8. (Royal) [2dc tr 2dc in chsp, sc in middle of shell from round 6] x 8
9. (Royal) Working in the back of the work [sc before tr in round 8 into chain of round 7. ch 4] x 8
10. (Deep) [2dc 2tr 2dc in chsp, blsc in shell from round 8] x 8
My difficulty begins with number 5. I understood that for all the instructions for the feathers (which were all prior to this) that I was not to turn my work over like you normally do when crocheting rows. I was to start each new round at basically the same place I stopped the prior round (unless specified otherwise).
Beginning with 5, I am to turn my work over and sc between the 2dcs into the chain of round 3 and then ch2. I take this to mean I am basically doing a sc onto the chain at the bottom of the 2dcs that the 2dcs were attached to. I think I understand this much.
When I go to 6 is where I really get into trouble. I assume I’m working from the front of my work again, but it sounds as if I am to reach my hook through the front and somehow go around the chsp in the back to make my 4dc and then do a sc at the top of the shall previously made from the front.
Can you explain these instructions any more clearly because I’m at a loss. I tried to do what I thought I was supposed to be doing, but my work looks nothing like the pictures of what it’s supposed to look like.
