Please help me understand! 😭

What does this mean?

round 15: through front loops only: *sc 1, hdc 1, sc 1 in one st, sc 1 in next st,* 21 times 

also, from the last row to this row the stitches are supposed to double…i’m so confused!

This shows you how to work in front loops only and back loops only.

 *sc 1, hdc 1, sc 1 in one st, sc 1 in next st,* 21 times you work the entire sequence within the * * 21 times

 *sc 1, hdc 1, sc 1 in one st, you are increasing here by making 3 stitches into 1 stitch of the previous round.  You will be using 21 stitches of previous round and making 63 stitches.

sc 1 in next st. Here you are making 1 stitch into 1 stitch of previous round so you use 21 stitches and make 21 stitches

So we used 42 stitches in round 14 and made 84 stitches in round 15

^What she said.  Conventionally, when there is a bunch of stuff happening in 1 stitch, that 'stuff' is surrounded by parentheses, so it should have said 

"  *(sc 1, hdc 1, sc 1) in one st, sc 1 in next st,* 21 times " - which would have been a whole lot clearer.
