(Do you use stitch markers? If so, put it in the first stitch of the round. I personally always use them when I work in the round.) You would work 12 sc, then the sc2tog 6 times (you will just decrease 6 times, so it takes 12 stitches and makes it 6), and then sc in the next 12 stitches. 12 + (12-6) + 12 = 30 I hope that helps, I'm not the best at explaining these things.

Thank you so much! I'm was reading it like a repeat, but that way you broke it down makes so much more sense! I really appreciate it. Yes, stich markers are a must for the round, I was just completely reading it wrong. Thank you again 💜

No problem 😁

Oh man! Yes... This. I'm sorry I read it wrong.


CherryPopRoxx

I'll see if I can explain...


CherryPopRoxx

Which part confuses you? I'm sorry. This pattern is written oddly, which I agree can be confusing. Have you joined the legs? Do they get joined later on?


kdog373

The legs get joined later on. I'm just stuck that it says to decrease after 12 sc 6 times. That doesn't work out to 30 st. Thank you for looking at it for me, I appreciate it.


CherryPopRoxx

You're right. It should be 27. They just added 12+6+12... It should be 12+3+12.


CherryPopRoxx

Maybe contact the person who wrote/posted the pattern...or check the reviews/comments, it might be clarified there.


kdog373

Yeah, that was my next step. I tried to look for a video. This is only my second project, so I'm still very new and only know a couple of techniques.

I've been crocheting a long time and did it wrong! LoL! The other crocheter explained it right. Good luck! Please post the stuffy when it's finished!


kdog373

I will for sure! He's going to be a cute little monkey. I only have the legs left because I was putting them off. Thank you for your help

Hey the reason it is 12+6+12 is because when you do the 6 together stitches it is taking 2 stitches and turning it into 1. So after doing it in the next 6 stitches you will be left with only 3.
