This is a pattern I need help with. Have been on other forums but can’t get a clear cut explanation. Trying so hard to follow pics and instructions but not working out. The center part in no way looks like the cover pic but will leave as such. I am doing the outer yellow petals and am having trouble.
Ok I just completed row 13:* sc in first tr, 5ch,sc in next tr-repeat 8 times, 4ch, 2dc,2ch,2dc, 4ch* repeat around…
Once again stumped for next Row 14:* sl st in first arc, 5 ch, sl st in next arc- repeat 7 times, 4ch, 2dc,2ch,2dc, 4ch* repeat around.
By arch is this in the space of each Sc from previous row?
What is the arch from the 5ch after first Sc.

Beautiful pattern! Maybe @OffJumpsJack and @okckwilter @WhampusKitty or @Tangles64 will be able to help.
I would say yes, the “arc” is the ch5 between tr stitches of Row 13. I’ve never heard of them called “arcs” before though, usually chains. That is a cute pattern and I hope the rest of it goes well for you!
THank you.
Sorry for my uncertainty but do I ?
Finished with a ch 4. Do I sl st in the arch created in row 13 with the first Sc chain 5 then then sl st in each of the other treble spaces. It is the ch 5 in the Sc that stumps me
From looking at the pictures and if I understand you correctly, yes, slip stitch in the arc (chain between the tr crochets) of the previous row. Sl st, chain 5, sl st, chain 5, etc., between the treble crochets. I’m not sure what you mean by “It is the ch 5 in the Sc that stumps me” as there are no sc in that portion of Row 14.
This pattern includes a chart for British Crochet terms and America equivalents. The date format of day month year also suggest non-US authorship. However the images and symbol pattern both seem to confirm that the pattern is written in American stitch notation.
Arch is not common in US patterns but I too would take it to mean chain space or “CH spc.”
Many doily patterns use multi chain “arches” (or CH spc) in combination with taller sts to create “bridges” between more solid pattern stitches like repeated (DC, CH x) or (TC, CH x) to make a fan shape. When it says to “SL ST in the arch” it means to work the SL ST into the CH spc made by the identified chains and not actually in any one of the chain stitches.
There is also a confusing repeat within a repeat. I think the author may be new to pattern notation. I see an unmarked repeat within the repeating pattern. I will add ( and ) to show the repeat for the “fan.”
Row 14: * sl st in first arc, (5 ch, sl st in next arc) repeat 7; 4ch, 2dc,2ch,2dc, 4ch * repeat around.
Row 15: * sl st in first arc, (5 ch, sl st in next arc) repeat 6 times, 4ch, 2dc,2ch,2dc, 4ch * repeat around.
“SL ST the first CH spc” starts the fan and “(5 ch, sl st in next CH spc) repeat 6 times” compleats the fan. While “4ch, 2dc,2ch,2dc, 4ch” is the bridge.
I hope this is helpful to. Good luck.
Just completed row 16. Row 17 unclear. What does this mean. .
Does not look at all like cover pic. It has no chains between the pineapple and the 4 dc
Definitely not a pattern I would redo
Row 17: * 4ch, sl st in first arc, 5 ch, sl st in next arc- repeat 4times, 4ch,< 2dc,2ch,2dc>repeat around. make seperate each petals.
