    I understand the cross stitch pattern, but am having trouble with the FCdtr stitch and skipping 4 stitches.then dtr in first skipped stitch. I end up with a third of stitches in my next row. HELP

    Did I miss something? Ahh, I’ve never seen a “st” that combines 2 different rows like (what I read anyway:) the “dtr”. So that’s 1row dc, next row sc = 1dtr? This I got after reading the “gauge” swatch. Harrumph.
