It has been many years but decided to dig out the hooks and stuff. Found a pattern for a cute
zig-zag throw.
Everything is coming back except for the following ( in bold ) which I just do not comprehend
doing a decrease ... ...
draw up loop in next sc - miss next sc - draw loop in next sc - yoh and draw through all 3 loops ...
Fine .. no problem ... got it this far ...
here is the booger ...
sc2tog over next 3 sts made ????
... what is meant by stiches 'made'
this just does not compute . I have read it over and over
I feel so dumb ! ! ! !
arrrggghhhhhhh * pulling out hair and grinding teeth*
I can't really tell without seeing the whole pattern (and even then some patterns need deciphering) but is it possible that it is simply two different ways of writing the same thing?
In the instructions you wrote for "doing a decrease" you are single crocheting 2 together over 3 stitches...
If this is in the "valley" of the zig-zag, then it makes more sense. maybe if you ignore the 'made' word. Try it for a few repeats and see what happens. Are the # of increases at the top of the mountain the same as the # number of decreases in the valley? Better, IMHO, to try and if necessary, rip out. We need our teeth ungnashed...
