Question
ami3e
Hi,
I have been crocheting for a while, but don't tend to follow patterns, if I do I tend to watch a video tutorial. I am currently trying to make an angel christmas tree topper and I am stuck as to what this part of the pattern means. Any help would be much appreciated.
Bits in bold are the rounds I do not understand. Though I'd include the previous round for context as it may help, not sure.
Pattern written in UK CROCHET TERMINOLOGY
Round 13: Ch3, sk first st, *in next htr work shell of 2tr, ch2, 2tr, tr in next htr. Repeat from * around, join to top of beginning ch with sl st. (6 shells)
ROUND 14: Ch3, *shell in shell, tr in tr. Repeat from * around, join with sl st in 3rd st of beginning ch.
ROUND 15: Ch4, *shell in shell, ch1, tr in tr, ch1. Repeat from * around, join with sl st in 3rd st of beginning ch.
I mainly do not understand what shell in shell means, does it mean I have to copy the shell in the previous row, in the gaps from the previous shells? And also what does tr in tr mean? Does it mean I have to put a treble crochet in the treble from the previous row?
Mum found the pattern on EbAY and the seller does not seem to have any help.
I am just slightly confused as to what these two rows actually mean. Thank you in advance.
Amie
