Question
I have a pattern that im confused about row one. what does it mean when it says "*1 sc in next ch-1 sp. Ch 1. Miss next sc. Rep from * to last 2 sts. 1 sc in next ch-1 sp. 1 sc in last sc."
Hi Miranda!
Thanks for asking! “Miss” means to skip the stitches it says to miss, which in this case is the next single crochet stitch. Rep from * means to repeat those stitches starting from the first ”*” and continuing to the next "*", which in this case, is from the "1 sc" through to the "Miss next sc". Then when you have repeated the stitches and chains, you do the 1 single crochet in the last chain stitch and 1 single crochet in the last crochet stitch.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need anything else.

I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in the afghan stitch, or hairpin lace. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Nearly all of my crochet magazines, leaflests, etc are over 5 years old. Many are from the 80's and before. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
