Thank so much Barbara From the Readers Digest Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting & Crocheting Stitches: "To work two or more double crochet stitches together (dc2tog, dc3tog, etc) 1. Wrap the yarn over the hook, insert the hook into the next stitch (or as instructed), wrap the yarn, draw a loop through, wrap the yarn and draw through 2 of the loops on the hook (2 loops left on the hook). Repeat this step into the next stitch (3 loops on the hook. For dc2tog wrap yearn and draw it through all loops to complete cluster. 2. For dc3tog, repeat the first stage of step 1 again, so that there are 4 loops on the hook. Wrap yarn over hook and draw through all loops to complete cluster. For larger clusters, repeat as required." Another description of it from the same book: dc5tog: *yo, insert hook as indicated, yo, draw loop through, yo, draw through 2 loops* -- repeat from * to * for each "leg" of the cluster, ending yo, and draw through all loops on the hook. I'm not sure if that clarified or made it more confusing. Karen in MN |

Hi,
I am a newbee to. I am thinking that you are trying to make a shell or a large popcorn. What dc5 tog means is, double crochet 5 together. Now you have to determine if this is for a shell or something else. Because you can double crochet 5 and then you need to pull them all together or you will just double crochet 5 together in on stitch. If you could send me the complete instruction, I will gladly let you know what it means. |
