whatever way the pattern is to be worked

1 serving

row 1: ch 15; sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across

1 serving

row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across

now you have chains and the pattern says to “sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each

1 serving

ch across”. that means that you look at your chain

1 serving

hint: count the stitches at the end of every row. most patterns tell you how many stitches you should have

— sc

1 serving

these are all ways to show the number of stitches you should have. don't confuse this

1 serving

hint: always leave the hook in your work as you turn
