Reading pattern help

Submitted by TONYACROMER on Tue, 01/29/2013 - 12:45

Here it is. I am new and need help. This is what it says. Wavy stitch (multiple of13 sts + 4; 1-row repeat)
Setup row: beg in second ch from hook, sc in second ch and in next ch; skip 1 ch, sc in next 5 ch,* work 3 sc in next ch , sc in next 5 ch +, skip next 2 ch, sc in next 5 ch; repeat from * across, ending last rep at +, skip 1 ch; turn.
Row 1: ch 1, working through both loops, sc in first 2 sc, skip next sc, working in back loops only across to last sts, sc in next 5 sc, * work 3 sc in next sc, place marker ( pm) in center st; sc in next 5 sc+, skip next 2 sc , sc in next 5 sc; repeat from * across , ending last rep at +, skip 1 sc, working through both loops , sc in last sc; turn.

pattern reading

Pattern reading should be covered in any crochet class. Some people can pick it up on their own. The * symbol is used to define which stitches should be repeated for the pattern. This pattern also uses the + too. This is because the final repeat will not need as many stitches. Sometimes it helps to rewrite the pattern so that the repeat * to * is on a single line. This makes it easier to follow.
Example of rewrite:
Setup row: beg in second ch from hook, sc in second ch and in next ch; skip 1 ch, sc in next 5 ch,
* work 3 sc in next ch , sc in next 5 ch +, skip next 2 ch, sc in next 5 ch; repeat from * across,

REWRITE for last stitches:
ending last rep at +,
* work 3 sc in next ch , sc in next 5 ch +, skip 1 ch turn.

Hope this helps.
