It means to work a shell stitch in the center of the shell stitch of the previous row or rnd.

If the shell is, for example, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) then you would work the same shell in

the ch-2 sp of the first one.

If the shell is 5 dc, you would work the shell in the center dc of the group.

You do all of that in the same chain.

yes you can but you will need more yarn as you are going to need more rows to make the same size item .. The width will not be effected at all .. if you are making a blanket it is easy just continue till same length .. if you are making a garment you will have to adjust the pattern for the height differences .. for example they may say you need 20 rows for an armhole and you may need 28 rows ..


What does purl mean in crochet?

As far as I'm aware, there is no "purl" in crochet, but there is in knitting.Knitting has basically two stitches, a "knit" and a "purl."In a knit stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, by passing through from below. In a purl stitch, the yarn is drawn through the previous row, from above. This creates an effect, where on one side, a knit stitch appears to be knit, and on the other side, the same stitch appears to be purled. This explains why directions for knitting often speak of the "right (or front) side" or the "wrong (or back) side" of a project.Crochet has stitches which are a slip stitch, a chain stitch, a single crochet, a half crochet, a double crochet, a triple crochet, a double treble crochet, and even a triple treble crochet. I have not seen any patterns which call for a larger than triple treble crochet stitch.

When a crochet pattern says turn in the middle of the pattern what does that mean?

Hmm. I have never seen this before but I am assuming its pretty much the same as turning work in the middle of your knitting. Say you have thirty stitches on your crochet project. You double crochet 15 and then the pattern says to turn in the middle... You would hypothetically chain 1 or two and turn the work as if you were starting a new row. I hope I was right on this, I am just inferring.
