Question
can you make these instructions a little clearer?

MOTIF (Make 36)
Section 1: With A, ch 2.
Rnd 1 (Right Side): 8 Sc in 2nd ch from hook; join with a
slip st in first sc; TURN.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in next sc; * yo and draw up a loop in next
sc, yo and draw through 1 loop on hook, [yo and draw
through 2 loops] twice – long-dc made; (sc, long-dc) all in
same place where first long-dc was made, sc in next sc;
repeat from * twice more; (long-dc, sc, long-dc) all in last
sc; join in first sc; turn.

Answer

Thanks for the question.

I am assuming that Rnd 1 you understand, so its Rnd 2 that is confusing.

Start with a ch1, and a sc on the next sc. Yarn over and draw a loop in the next sc, yarn over and only draw from one loop (normally it would be two, but in this case it will be 1) so after doing this you will have 3 loops on hook. Then you will yarn over and work two loops at a time (in this case they are calling this a long DC). This gets repeated per the pattern.

Hope that this helped and its clear as mud.. LOL. Should you need any assistance, please let me know.

Happy Hooking
