Hello! It should say:
Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), sk first sc, *dc in next 3 sts, ch 1, sk next st; rep from * to last 4 sts, dc in next 4 sts, turn.
We’ve made the update above. thank you for bringing this to our attention! – Nicola
I love videos-it would be helpful if you did a closeup of the stitches as you work them. And maybe stop and let us see just what stitch you go into. It is routine to you, but we are trying to get the hang of a new stitch.
Hi Celeste! Thank you for the feedback and we will keep it in mind for future video tutorials. Happy crocheting! – Nicola
Love your tutorials! Makes me feel like I could do this pattern with no problem. Thank you from a “former” crocheter that needs to Lear. To relax again
