Crochet Pattern Help

I have been to 4 forums and can't get an answer so here I am.....I am crocheting an afghan. I am on row 12 and suddenly the instructions begin: Ch4, turn; dc in next dc, *ch 1, dc in next dc, dc in next ch-1 sp and in next dc, ch 4, skip next 2 dc and next 3 chs.....etc.

I am fine up until: skip next 2 dc and next 3 chs....what does this mean or how do I do this? I can skip next 2 dc but what are next 3 chs????

Thank you for any help you can give!

Rebecca

Hi.  Without seeing the whole pattern it is hard to know exactly what to do, but, it sounds like the pattern has a repeating chain 4 in it.  So, I am assuming that what it is telling you is to skip the two dc that were before the chain 4 (that was on the previous row since you are working back across the previous row) then skip the first three stitches of the chain 4 and do whatever stitch is next in the fourth stitch of the chain 4.  Hope this helps.

Hi, Sorry but I am still not understanding something. I've got skipping the next 2 dc (from previous row) but do not understand how to skip the first 3 stitches of the chain 4. Is that from the previous row too? If I am skipping 5 stitches why don't they just say that? I feel like it is a different language. Any ideas? Thank you!
