I am a new member and I am having trouble understanding the instructions for the bottom half circle instructions in the Blue Mandala Throw designed by Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby. Here is what the instructions say: Bottom half circle: Ch 16, sl st in 12th ch from hook, ch 3, sk next 2 chs on ch-16, sc in next ch, 6 dc in ch-12 ring, sk next 3 sts on previous rnd, sc in next st on previous rnd, 8 dc in ch-12 ring.

I get as far as Ch 16, sl st in 12th ch from hook, ch 3, sk next 2 chs on ch-16, sc in next ch then not sure what it means to do next. Any help would be appreciated as I only have two rows left to do. Thanks,
