Beginner Crocheter and need help!!

[cynsew]

I have done some very simple crocheting and have come across a round of crochet I don't really understand. Can someone help me with maybe a few more details. Here is what it says exactly!

 

dc in next ch-2 sp, ch 5, dc in next ch-2 sp,ch 5, dc in next sc and in next ch-2 sp

 

I understand double crochet. I do not understand the ch-2 sp. I know sp stands for space. Just can't figure the line out. Thanks for any help!! Cindy:P

that means you do dc in the next chain 2 space which would have come from the previous row where you would have chained 2 hope this helps;

Still lost, I understand double crochet in next chain. What is 2 sp??

There should be a place where you chained 2 in the previous row. You double crochet in that. Make sense?

[cynsew]

so I dc in the next 2 chains and then skip a space? or do I dc in the next chain two times and then skip a space?

 

 

dc in next ch-2 sp

Hi,

Can you either post a link to the pattern if it is online, or, if it is not, give about 2 lines of the directions (rows) just prior to the one you quoted? See, I'm thinking that you had to follow some prior direction that said to do a chain 2 in between a stitch and the next one, so that when you have gotten to the row that you quoted you would be able to put a dc in the ch2 space you already created in the prior row.

 

I know, it is hard to figure out, but maybe with some additional info, we can get you 'unstuck'!

Hope this helps,

Not quite. You won't actually be crocheting in the chains themselves, you'll be crocheting around them. By ch-2 space, they mean the gap created by the 2 chains. So, you'll dc once in that gap, then you'll chain 5, dc in the next gap (ch-2 sp), chain 5 again, and go from there.
