  • I am confused about the edging instructions. It says sc evenly along side as follows:*ch 2, dc in top of last/first st of next row, rep from * to point. This is confusing to me since it sc evenly but then says ch 2 and dc. Could you help me out please. The rest of the pattern went great until I got to the edging. Thanks, Leila
