Hello BobbyJoe, If you are replying to my explanation to Esmecat1. I answered her question concerning the stitches in the parentheses these are collective stitches. She did not write a complete pattern just a question concerning the (ch1,1dc). I don't know if these stitches will lean or not. Please see below the explanation of stitches in parentheses as well as the link on "how to read a crochet pattern". I hope this helps her with her pattern and shows why I answered her question the way I did.

Examples:·(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next corner sp
·(sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) in next st
·(48 dc) – indicating stitch count at end of row or round
·(88 [94, 106, 112] sc) – indicating multiple stitch counts for additional garment sizes or rows/rnds.
