Jean Marie,
She understood how to crochet what was in the brackets. I think she knew she had to crochet 4 sc in 4 stitches then 2 sc in the next stitch that was self exclamatory.
Her questions was She wanted to know what in 24 meant.
I wrote out exactly what the instructions for Round 9 was with the explanation of what in 24 meant.
ROUND 9: In 24, [ 4 sc, 2 sc into next st] 6 times. 36 sts
You always work the stitches in the brackets. 1sc,1sc,1sc,1sc =4 sc then 2sc in the next stitch this makes 6 stitches do this 6 times (6x6=36 stitches. In 24 means (in the next 24 stitches you will have repeated the stitches within the brackets 6 times to get 36 single crochets).
The lady already posted thanks and she understood and is finishing her project and that is what counts.
I am happy that we were able to provide the help she needed to continue her project and look forward to her posting a picture.
This is a very nice forum where everyone tries to help each other.
Thanks,
spoula
