please help me interpret this pattern

[Patt]

this is the row I just completed on my crochet hat

17th rnd: Ch 1. (1 sc in each of next 6 sc. 2 sc in next sc. 1 sc in each of next 5 sc) 5 times. 1 sc in last sc. 66 sc.

now I don't know how to interpret this part of the pattern. If someone can spell it out in individual rows I would appreciate it!

Inc 5 sc as before on every following 3rd rnd to 86 sc.

I'm totally unsure on this! thanks in advance for any help I can get.

pat, 5 times means to do it 5 times... > 1 sc in ea of the next 6 sc. , 2 sc in the next sc, 1 sc in the next 5 sc,< now repeat this 4 more times. I hope this helps you...

thanks, I got that part, it's this line I don't get "Inc 5 sc as before on every following 3rd rnd to 86 sc." I take it there are several more rows to go as it is a bucket hat, but how do I do it?

Inc 5 sc as before on every following 3rd rnd to 86 sc.

from what you shared is you are adding 5 increase on every 3rd row till you get 86 sc. as you did row 17
