Hi Lisa
I’m not sure if i’m not understanding the instructions on row 12 of the Easy Mittens.
It says to work 2sc into each space on prev.row & 1sc into each hdc from prev.row to give a total st.count of 24.
However as each space is a 1ch.sp. working 2sc will give 12 extra sts.making a total of 36.
Are the instructions correct & i’ve not understood them or is it a typo??
Thanks,
Amanda Green.
Correction row 12 : 2sc in each this then sets up for the shell edging 24sts)
