What is 2 double crochet in next chain twice Miss next chain 1 double chain in next chain 5 times?
Now, I'm not the best at reading crochet directions, personally, I like symbol crochet charts to read. To me, it's easier to understand.Okay, my best guess would be that you:double crochet twice into a single chain stitch (from the row below)do it again (double crochet 2 stitches into the next chain stitch)now, skip the next chain stitch (don't stitch anything into that chain stitch)now, double crochet into the following chain stitch.Without punctuation is it unclear whether you are to repeat the above stitch set in the order given five times, or whether it means to repeat the last instruction (double crochet in next chain) 5 times. If you have a photo of the finished piece you should be able to tell if there are five double crochets in a row as the last part of the repeat.

What does this mean in a crochet pattern dc in each dc across and in top of ch-3?
Do a double crochet stitch in every chain stitch until you reach the end of the row. When you come up to the chain three that you did at the end of the previous row, look at where you chained 3 and then do a dc in the last chain stitch of your chain 3.
How do you make a picot stitch in dc?
A picot is a little 'bump' on a chain. It's usually made with a single crochet, but you could do it with a double crochet as well. You do it in a chain. Here is an example of one:chain 3, dc in 2nd ch from hook, ch 1. The individual pattern will specify the number of chains to work on either side.
How many different crochet stitches exist?

What does sc in next ch-1 sp ch 1 mean in crochet pattern?
It means "single crochet". The stitch is the shortest of the crochet stitches and makes a very compact garment. Other notations can be double crochet, half double crochet, and even double triple crochet.Always read the whole pattern thoroughly before you begin your work.To sc in sc means to place your next single crochet stitch into the next single crochet stitch from the previous row. If your next stitch is a chain, for example, you would skip it and go to the next single crochet. Be aware that sometimes there will be a typographical error in a pattern, so be alert to how the stitch works in the pattern you are using.
What does sp mean in crochet instructions?
Sp in crochet patterns means "space" as far as I know. Generally, a space in crochet is created by the chain stitch(es) on the previous row/round. If your pattern states to sc, (single crochet) in the next sp (space) it means to pull the yarn around the stitch (the chain stitches) rather than through the chain stitch as you'd do when working into your beginning chain.
How do you crochet a hanging towel?

What does 'Chain 4 then make single turning chain' in a crochet pattern mean?
In crochet, because stitches have "height" (where in knitting stitch height isn't much of an issue), crocheters add chain stitches to the end of a row to add height, in order to begin the next row.So, in your instructions, chain 4, then make a single turning chain, would mean to add another chain, turn your work so that you could then begin crocheting the second row. You would then insert your hook into the second chain from the hook and crochet the next stitch (which is going to be a single crochet--sc--due to only using one turning chain)There is a standard turning chain number, depending on the stitch you are going to use in the next row. [the link shows how many turning chains for each crochet stitch].For a:slip stitch = 0 turning chainsingle crochet = 1 turning chainhalf double crochet = 2 turning chainsdouble crochet = 3 turning chainstriple crochet = 4 turning chainsand so on.You see that as the stitch height grows, so do the number of chain stitches in your turning chain.
What is the hardest stitch in crochet?
What one crocheter finds difficult, another person might find easy, so it is hard to say which would be the most difficult stitch to work for you personally. The hardest stitch is probably the first one you learn after the chain stitch, usually either single or double crochet. The stitch itself isn't hard, but it is awkward at first learning something new. Once you know the chain, single and double crochet, half doubles, trebles and all the variations beyond the treble come easily because they are so similar to the single and double crochet. As with knitting, it isn't the actual stitch that brings an opportunity for life-long study of crochet, but the infinite number of ways those stitches can be combined and manipulated. Bobbles and clusters, working around posts, reaching to stitches in rows below, twisting, picots...all of these are simply manipulations of the three basic stitches (chain, single crochet and double crochet). Addition to first answer: A good answer, but -- I once surveyed 12 crochet experts on this exact question, and they all said the bullion stitch.
What is 2 double crochet in next chain?
Work one double crochet in the chain after the one you've just used. Then work another double crochet into the SAME chain where you worked that first double crochet.
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.
