    Hello Laura,

    Are you doing a shell stitch? Please post with a little more info if you can. I will be checking in later this evening again. Thank you!

    Hello,

    The fan stitch is a version of the shell stitch which usually calls for five dc done in a single stitch. When you get to this point in your pattern, are you nearing the corner? Many patterns mention the corner hdc at this time.

    I am not the best at reading patterns. It is a learning process for me as well. We will also have other members checking in to help us! Thanks for your patience!

    Laura- your 5 dcs is your shell stitch! You would do 5 dcs in the corner hdc! Does that make sense? What type of doll are you making the outfit for? I make clothes for 18",5", and 4" ( Kelly doll) dolls! Hope I helped you!
