Hi,
I’m trying to make the Part 1 Tulip Crochet Dress Bodice and Part 2: Tulip Crochet Dress Waistband in size 18.
At the end of Part 1 for size 18 it ends with 31 stitches.
Here is where I’m getting confused:
Then at Part 2 row 1 says:
Row 1: CH22 (21, 22, 19, 19, 14) Work 2 DC into the last ST of the last Bodice Row, DC into next 27 (29, 33, 39, 45, 55) STs, Work 2 DC into last ST. CH 24 (23, 24 ,21, 21, 16)
For size 18, am I reading the pattern right that I’m supposed to chain 22, 2DC (which will increase a stitch) to the bodice, and DC 33 stitches, 2 DC (which will increase a stitch) and then chain 24?
Question:
Why does the pattern say DC 33 stitches when I ended with 31 stitches from Part 1?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
