Help deciphering instructions

Categorized As:

Hi!

I just started a project crocheting some bunny slippers (p. 234 of Stoller's Happy Hooker). I've got part of the first row done, but now I'm at a point where I'm not sure what the pattern is asking me to do. I started by making 23 ch.

Rnd 1: Sc in second ch from hook, sc in each of next 20 ch; 3 sc in last ch, working across opposite side of foundation ch, sc in remaining loop of each of next 20 ch, 2 sc in next ch already holding 1 sc, sl st to first sc to join - 46 sc.

So I got through doing sc's in the loops of the 20 ch of the foundation ch. My question is, for the "2 sc in next ch already holding 1 sc," is that the next loop on the foundation chain I've just been working on? I guess I'm confused by the "already holding 1 sc" thing.

Thanks! :)

What the instructions want you to do is create a 3 sc turn. Since you started with a foundation chain the "chain" they are referring to is the 2 sc's that you skipped when you turned from the foundation row onto the first row.
"Sc in second ch from hook,..." > that represents the 'first chain'.

Good Luck!!
