I'm trying to make a baby blanket and I'm not sure if I'm following the pattern correctly.

There is a foundation row that is dc in next 2 ch skip 2 ch. I'm ok with that.

Row 1: Ch 1, sc in first st, ch 2, sk next 2 sts, *2 DS, ch 2, sk next 2 sts* to turning ch, sc in top of turning chain, turn

Row 2: Ch 2 *2 DS, ch 2, sk next 2 sts* to last ch-2 sp, 2 DS, hdc in last st.

Repeat rows 1 & 2

Instructions for a DS (Drop Stitch) are: working around next ch-2 sp, dc in next skipped ch or st 2 rows below.

I'm in need of photos or clip arts of basic crochet stitches to put in a book and on a website. I have seen in many crochet books and websites animated photos that were great as well as professional photos. Is there some type of software for crochet or some type of clip art?

I have to make a baby bunting bag by Aug. My problem is I have never heard of a 4 or 9 dcl. The directions read as follows,
4dcl (YOH. draw up a loop in next st. YOH and draw through 2 loops on hook) 4 times. Yoh and draw through 5 loops on hook.

9dcl ( yoh. draw up a loop in next st. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) 9 times. Yoh and draw through 10 loops on hook.

does not matter how many times I try this I keep getting 4 loops as if doing a DC

I've run across this patter in my search for thread bonnets:
[www.antiquecrochetpatterns.com]

It calls for No. 100 crochet cotton and does not specify a hook size.

I can find no such thing as no. 100 crochet cotton and I have no idea which size hook to pick. Any ideas?
