Need Clarification

[dvina]

Hi,
Am trying to make some booties and was doing pretty good
til I came across this
Rnd 4: Ch2, ch1 and hdc in same st *skip next st, then work a v stitch in next st*, repeat from * to * around, join final v st to first with sl st. This row and rows 5 to 8 form the toe area of the bootie.

I do not understand ch1 hdc insame st.
Can I just do a CH3 and hdc in the same st.
Appreciate a reply
thanks

Ch2. Then in the next stitch, simply make 1 chain and form a hdc and go into that same stitch to finish up the hdc. Then skip the next stitch, then work a V-sitch which should be explained in the pattern not, and repeat your v-stiches.

NO, don't do a ch3 and hdc, it will mess you up, just chain one and go directly into an hdc by after making the one chain, yo, go into that next stitch, pull yarn thru, and pull thru all 3 loops, using that one stitch for the 2 steps of a ch1 and an hdc. !

Make sense? Let me know! Message me on my fb page for faster help: https://www.facebook.com/crochet.by.susans.soul.shines

No sc required. It's simply making a ch1 BEFOREe making a regular hdc as your next stitch. Look at it like this: you just did the previous stitch, then you chain 1, keep that on your hook, yo (yarn over the hook), make a hdc and place it in the next available stitch space (after your previous stitch), then carry on to the next stitch. That might be a better explanation... does that make more sense?! I hope so, but let me know, and I'm glad to help!

Susan, sorry to bother u am just new to crochet and eager to learn.
I finished rnd 3 and sl st to first st. then I start rnd4 with CH2 it seems that there must be something before I do the ch1.
my 'previous stitch' is the CH2. unless I am rnd4 wrong.
tks for your support

Hmmm, they don't say to make any other stitch after the c h2, so I see none to make! It could be that she didn't realize how it sounds to the person making the piece. I mean, all we can do is make the stitches they instruct us to make! What is it you're making again? See my private message on here, ok?!

could it be that the ch2, ch1, hdc is the first vstitch of the row, since the pattern tells you to ss to first vstitch at the end to join?

Might as well be, because that row and all others startt w/ ch2, and the next st is ch 1, hdc in (next) st - that's al you CAN do! It's a crocodile st pattern and most aren't meant for beginner level. I suggested she might want to try some easier patterns for these, but it's up to her of course if she wants to try his one!
