Question
Hi Patricia, pattern says (ch 1, dc)twice in next sc, so does that mean for me to ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc all in the next sc , or just ch 1 and do two dc all in the next single? help, and thank you.

Answer
Hi Sandy,
I sent you an answer a while ago, but I don't think it "went", so please ignore if this is a repeat.

Yes, you are correct.  You crochet everything that is within the parentheses as many times as is stated after the parentheses.  So you will ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc directly into the next sc.

If you need more clarification, please let me know.

Expertise

Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.

Experience

I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also. I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.

Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
