Hi there
Sorry to ask again, but am I missing something in round 6 for the Upper Caudal Fin? I’ve only got 8 stitches. By my count I use 4 stitches in the first section and then I use a second 4 stitches in the sc2tog part so I’ve got no more stitches to crochet? How do I sc in another 3 stitches and then do 2 sc in a last stitch? I would need another 4 stitches to finish this round? Please can you help?
Rnd 6: Ch 1, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 3 sts, sc2tog twice, sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st – 10 sc; invisible join with sl st in first…
Sorry, i'm confused right at the start, lol. what does it mean, on row two, when you say switching to B??
