I'm embarking on a hat, crocheting for the first time since childhood, and struggling with reading the pattern. If I copy it here, would one of you wise ones be able to help?
R1 magic loop, 6sc in loop, join (6)
R2 beginning with 1st sc, puff in each sc, join (6)
R3 sl st to space between puffs, work 2 puffs in each space, join (12)
OK, I can manage the fact that this is US terminology and sc is UK dc. I can do a 'puff' (yarn over, pull through loop 2 chains high, rpt x 3, pull through all 7 loops, ch1). But I am assuming the bracketed numbers are the stitch count. When I finish row 3 I get 24 stitches. What am I doing wrong?
