Hi there, I'm a newbie to crochet and have been teaching myself from YouTube and blogs etc. and am pleased with the octopus head I've so far produced ... but I've come unstuck on the instructions for the tentacles.

Could someone kindly explain them in more detail to me please? The instruction is:

Now make the tentacles as follows:

*ch 50. sc in the 2nd ch from hook. 2 sc in ea chain across. When back to the body, sl st in the next stitch. Repeat from * 7 more times to make a total of 8 tentacles.

The full pattern is here if you need to refer to it :

Thank you!
