Can't figure this out!

Hi, everyone!

I'm hoping somone can explain this for me. I'm trying to do the
bookmark at the link below. I'm having a hard time understanding row
one. It seems simple enough but I don't get it.

http://www.denisecrochets.com/cascadingpetals.html

Row 1: Ch 4, 7 dc in 4th ch from hook, ch 3, sl st in same ch, ch 3,
turn.

I don't understand "sl st in same ch". Where do I slip stitch? In the
beginning of the chain? I've been staring at it and I'm getting
nowhere.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Susana

If you look at the picture, there are about 9 stitches in each 'fan'. The first
and last stitches are chain 3's. So you do a chain 3, 7 dc, and then chain 3
and fasten it to the starting chain. You have one little fan. Then you start
the 2nd fan by chaining 3 and from what I understand of row 2, start a 2nd fan
in that same starting chain.

Now you're probably really muddled.

From my understanding, you slip stitch in the same ch on your starting
chain as you did the 7 dc's (the "4th chain from the beg"). Does that
make it any clearer?

I've been thinking of making that same bookmark!

You make that slip stitch in the same chain where you did the 7 dc.
That makes a 3-chain loop, where you will put the next 7 dc (for the
2nd row) after you turn the work.

I haven't tried a sample yet, but that's the way I understood it. Each
row is just 7 dc (8 if you count the turning ch3) and a 3-chain loop
which will be the base for the next row.

I hope this is a help.

Hi Susana,
The way I read it, you will slip stitch in the same chain as your 7 dc's.

I think you're right about the second row being on the last chain 3 loop. That
second row bothered me.

It's a nice little bookmark and I think I will print out the pattern. Crocheted
or knitted ones are the way to go. Embroidered bookmarks are too fuss budgety,
and beaded ones are too bulky for practical use.

Oh...my...god! I have seen the light!

Thanks so much for your help. I was going to make some for xmas
presents and I didn't know what to do.

Thanks again,

Susana
