Is the pattern you are doing a free one online? If so, post the link.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound pompus. I was saying no to how horselvr was reading the patten, not you. I should of said "the way I read it". These patterns can drive you crazy, I usually have to read them a couple of times and sometimes write them down, before I attempt them.

 

Shoot I thought twice before I posted, infact, the first time I posted, I was totally wrong, then I deleted it.

I hear you there, sometimes I have to read these patterns four and five times! The last thread project I did was "easy 4 hr table runner" well it took me 4 hrs just to read and re-read the pattern!! Then another 4 to make the item!!! I have never thought of writing it down, what a great idea, I will have to give that a try, thanks!

Comforting to know I'm not the only one who has to write patterns out. I hate "continue in the manner until your row is 84 stitches" for instance. I'm grabbing my calculator trying to figure it out!

You didn't sound pompous! We can all read patterns wrong. I'm just glad you were there to catch it.

I have an odd question on the question, "is the apostrophe (*) part of the actual pattern or did you just use it to separate that part from the rest of your post?"

 

That would change how I read it, giving two options:

 

--If it's actually, "*ch 3 [2 tr crochet in next stitch]twice*", then I'd read it as "ch 3, 2 trebles in next st, ch 3, 2treble in next st"

 

If it DOESN'T have the apostrophe (*) in it on the pattern, "ch 3 [2 tr crochet in next stitch]twice", then I would read it as "ch 3, 2 tr in each of the next 2 st" (done w/o the chain 3 in the middle).

thats funny cause when i was about 2/3 through it was really tight and it was all ruffled, i did use the next size hook up and i was quite sure that my thread was a 20.
