That sounds like the way I do a half-double crochet: yarn over hook, insert hook into stitch, yarn over hook, pull yarn through stitch and first loop on hook, yarn over hook, pull yarn through remaining two stitches on hook. Might your double crochet be a half-double (assuming I’m doing the half-double correctly ;D )?

Hey! I’m gonna try to help here. You dc in one stitch, dc in the very next stitch, and then dc, and another dc in the next stitch.

but what do I do in the other stitches… do I skip over two and do a dc.. or do I do a sl st in between or a sc….? That’s what I’m confused on..and thanks for the quick reply

Hi Shania, here's a post that might help you: How to Read Crochet Patterns Example #3 in that post is very similar to the instructions you're asking about.

Hi! I’m crocheting a beanie and in the pattern it says *DC in next 2 sts, 2 DCs in next st*
I’m not good at reading patterns, and I don’t know what this means.

Hi Brenda, they mean the same thing.

What is the difference between dc in each of the next 2 dc and dc in next 4 dc, other that the number of dc. The wording “in each of the next” is confusing to me.

I am working on the Arrowhead Pullover, from old volumn #31, Hooked on Crochet. I am having problems with row 2 of the Lattice Pattern. It reads:
DC in each of the next 2 dc, skip next tr bp, tr fp around next tr bp, tr fp around skipped tr bp, dc in next 4 dc, (skip next 2 tr bp, tr fp around each of next 2 tr bp, tr fp around of 2 skipped tr bp, dc in next 4 dc) 3 times, skip next tr bp, tr fp around next tr bp, tr fp around skipped tr bp, dc in each of next 2 dc.

My question is what is the difference between “Dc in each of the next 2 dc” and “dc in next 4 dc” other than the amount of dc. The wording “each of the next” is what that is confusing to me.

Rachel
Thanks for your prompt comment.
It is a SandnesGarn pattern and maybe it
is the translation. I did dc as you say.
European crochet language is sometimes
a little different. I shall continue as before.
I am sure it will turn out okay.

Hi Betty, I’m not exactly sure what it means either. Maybe you can try to contact the designer of the pattern you are using. My guess is that it means to make a double crochet into the top of a double crochet you already made.
