Rd3 leaves 12 clusters plus 24 ch (12 spaces with 2 ch each). Totaling 36 stitches. Then rd4 says to put a 4dccluster in each stitch with 3 ch between each cluster.
That would total 36 clusters + 36 ch
Can that be correct?
Hi Susan, It should say “in each ch 2 space”, instead of every stitch for round 4, this way you end up with 12 4 dc clusters and 12 ch 3 spaces at the end of the round. I’ve updated the instructions!
