Hello: I am going to try the succulent in a pot pattern. In reading the stitches, I notice that single crochet is sc and double crochet is also sc. Is there only single crochets in the pattern or is there double crochets somewhere in the pattern shown as single crochet? Usually double crochet is dc but none are shown, although double crochet is noted in abbreviations. Thank you.
Hello 👋
Double crochet is dc, just a typo in the abbreviations. There are double crochets shown as dc in the pattern
For example here:
Row 2: Ch1, sc in the first st, work in back loops, sc in next 3 sts, hdc in next 4 sts, dc in next 10 sts, hdc in next 4 sts, sc in next 3 sts, work in both loops, sc in last st – 26 sts.
Good luck 🍀
