Assistance for a beginner?

Having a little bit of trouble starting off. whats a 2dc? is it like a cluster stitch or what?

[B]Ch 2 (counts as dc), dc in same dc, 2dc in each dc around; join[/B]

Is that the part you’re asking about? You just do 2 dc in the same stitch. It’s an increase, for every stitch you do 2dc in you’ll inc 1. HTH
