Exchange Bag from HH SnB question

[kerikrochet]

I'll try to be concise...

 

In round 2 there are 12 shells (7 dc in each stitch) and a sc between each shell, which according to my calculations is 96 stitches.

 

In round 3 it says "Working in back loops of sts, ch 1, sc in back loop of each dc around, sl st in first sc to join, turn - 96 stitches".

 

If I sc in each dc that's only 84 stitches (12 shells times 7 stitches in each shell). So am I supposed to sc in each stitch (dc and sc)? When I do that it's 96 stitches.

 

The errata from the book's website confirms that it should be 96 stitches at the end of round 3.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks!!

Sounds like you have it right, that you are supposed to sc in back loop of EACH stitch so you end up with 96 stitches. But check the instructions for the next row - will you need all 96 stitches to complete that row, or only 84?
