BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Crochet How would you explain this stitch

Hello!!

I'm writing a pattern, I'm learning english too, so would you think I could call this motif, "large shell"

Because in the pattern I do have small shells they are the one we use everywhere, they are, 3dc ch 3 3dc.

So look at this grapfh I made...

would I explain this stitch like this??See row 2

(Beg large shell)

Ch 3, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next loop, ch3, 2 dc in same loop, dc in next 2 dc...

so here is my problem

I have to make the next large shell, but I have to explain all the things I need to skip and I dont know how to do it...

So I know, next step is ch3 skip next 2 dc and ch 3 sp and next 2 dc of the next motif?? God I dont know how to say that correctly.... <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

GO Aly Go Aly!!!!! Great job, Here is my suggestion for the writing of the pattern:

ch 3, skip next 4 dc, dc in 2 dc, 2 dc ch 3 2 dc in ch 3 space,dc in next 2 dc

or

ch 3, skip next 4 dc, dc in 2 dc, in next ch 3 space work 2 dc ch 3 2 dc ,dc in next 2 dc

does that help ? If not let me know and I'll make another suggestion <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! ... here I have another Round I started with popcorn st, so I made a section with {special stitches} and made beggining popcorn like this..

�In same st� work ch 3, 3 dc, draw up a loop, remove Hook and insert hook in top of first ch 3 of 4-dc group, and back in the dropped loop, pull lp through st on hook. (popcorn made)

I also wrote in the pattern that first ch 3 is consider as first dc.

Do you understand this direction? I hope I'm doing good..

Thanks so much for your help... <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
