Answer
Vickie:

That is a very nice piece.

Rnd 1 - the 6 ch3 loop is only to tell you after completing this rnd, what you will have. Its not a stitch to do / complete. so after doing that round, you will have 6 chain 3 loops.

Hope this helped, and should you need anything at all, please let me know.

Happy hooking
